"We the Peoples: A UN for the Twenty-First Century” By Kofi Annan.
We are deeply inspired by Mr. Annan’s book: “We the Peoples: A UN for the Twenty-First Century.” It was released in 2014.
During his momentous time as Secretary-General of the UN, Kofi Annan played a decisive role in launching the Millennium Development Goals, establishing the International Criminal Court, and creating the Global Compact. In 2001, Kofi Annan and the UN jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize “for their work for a better organized and more peaceful world.” These and other crucial events are encapsulated in this book of Kofi Annan’s key speeches throughout his term of office.
These highlights have been carefully selected, edited, and introduced to give a broad view of Annan’s most pressing concerns—and the eloquence with which he addressed them. Covering subjects from development, health, and climate change to the prevention of genocide and the ideal of diversity, these statements show how deeply involved the UN was in the most important issues of the era.
