The present Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was unanimously reelected Secretary General of the United Nations in its meeting on 22nd JUne 2011. There was no opposition.
After election, Ban Ki-moon thanked the General Assembly and stated: ” To lead, we must deliver the results… We need results that people can see and touch, results that change lives, make a differnce”.
The statement is OK. BUt whether the UN has been doing these above things in the recent past? Has it been saving the lives of thousands of people who were killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and recently in Libya? Has it been able to stop the illegal US blockade of Cuba for the lasy many decades?
Has the UN been able to uphold and defend the human values that is endorsed in the UN Charter holding which the Secretary General has taken the oath?
