Kofi Annan has confronted numerous challenges, both before and
during his tenure as Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Citing inaction from the UN in the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and the
Iraq Oil-for-Food scandal in 2004, critics allege that Annan failed
in his responsibilities in the face of the challenges. Annan's
proponents, however, say he lit the world with his gospel of peace
and prosperity for all, sanctity of the rule of law and respect for
one another. They point to his creativity and mastery of diplomacy,
within the limits of his authority and human frailty, as hallmarks
of his success. But what has Annan been judged on? Facts or
fiction? Skills or skin color? Performance or prejudice? And how
will Annan be judged by posterity? In answering these questions,
Judging Annan reveals how Annan's avowed critics have allowed
prejudice to cloud their sense of judgment. In this book, Richard
Bagudu exposes the deliberate public misinformation on topics like
the genocide in Rwandan, the Oil-for-Food scandal and the
behind-the-scene roles that some nations have played in ensuring
the failure of the UN in critical situations.
