VOTE OF NO-CONFIDENCE TO ANAN

08:31 pm 10 March, 2006

The trade union of the UN officials gave a vote of
no-confidence to the US Secretary General Kofi Anan
with an overwhelming majority of votes. The decision
was made in answer to Anan’s initiative to reform the
UN.

In particular, Anan had offered to transfer thousands
of regular workers of the organization and make them
not permanent. According to him, this decision would
allow them to make the UN less bureaucratic, more
flexible and more efficient.

According to the Radio station «Azatutyun», in any
case Kofi Anan will not remain in duty long as his
office lasts until December 31 of the current year.
