The report "Kofi Annan’s Conflicts of Interest Must Be Investigated" by Nile Gardiner, Ph.D. of the Heritage Foundation was released today:
In a recent interview, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton described the UN as hopelessly out of touch and stuck in a Twilight Zone-style “time warp” where “there are practices, attitudes and approaches that were abandoned 30 years ago in much of the rest of the world.” Bolton’s cutting analysis perfectly captures the latest controversy to hit Turtle Bay—Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s appointing German activist Achim Steiner as Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) just months after Steiner helped award Annan $500,000.
