Let's remember who voted him in office ...
Quote:The first Secretary-General to be elected from the ranks of United Nations staff, he began his first term on 1 January 1997. On 29 June 2001, acting on a recommendation by the Security Council, the General Assembly appointed him by acclamation to a second term of office, beginning on 1 January 2002 and ending on 31 December 2006.
Does the fact of who voted him in make him any less culpable for crimes committed under his watch? Including his son?
Careful - this knife can cut both ways; Bush, for example...

I know you're trying to make a point, but i can't for the life of me see what Bush has done or not done having anything to do with Annan, maybe you could enlighten me?
