UN employees were readying on Friday to make a historic vote of no confidence in scandal-plagued Secretary General Kofi Annan, sources told AFP.I'd love to see this creep go down. The UN could be a great organization, but it will never achieve its potential under the current leadership.
The UN staff union, in what officials said was the first vote of its kind in the more than 50-year history of the United Nations, was set to approve a resolution withdrawing its support for the embattled Annan and UN management.
Annan has been in the line of fire over a high-profile series of scandals including controversy about a UN aid programme that investigators say allowed deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to embezzle billions of dollars.
But staffers said the trigger for the no-confidence measure was an announcement this week that Annan had pardoned the UN’s top oversight official, who was facing allegations of favouritism and sexual harassment.
And no, Bill Clinton isn't the answer...although, it would be fun... Something tells me that President Clinton isn't the guy to call on when the staff is ticked about sexual harassment. Of course, all that depends on what the meaning of 'is' is, I suppose...
