More quotes by Kofi Annan
The international community... allows nearly 3 billion people - almost half of all humanity - to subsist on $2 or less a day in a world of unprecedented wealth.
Kofi Annan
If the United Nations is not as united as it should be, that is because it is a reflection of the world we live in.
Kofi Annan
Gather the five virtues (Dignity, Confidence, Courage, Compassion, and Faith). Then you are a man.
Kofi Annan
The World is not ours to keep. We hold it in trust for future generations.
Kofi Annan
Any society that does not succeed in tapping into the energy and creativity of its youth will be left behind.
Kofi Annan
Globalization is a fact of life. But I believe we have underestimated its fragility.
Kofi Annan
If globalization is to succeed, it must succeed for poor and rich alike. It must deliver rights no less than riches. It must provide social justice and equity no less than economic prosperity and enhanced communication.
Kofi Annan
The gap between the rich and the poor cannot keep growing without nothing being done about it.
Kofi Annan
You have to develop a certain healthy distance to allow you to keep a clear head, to be able to analyse the situation, lead your team, and move forward with them, because there are times if I'm not careful... if you get too involved, it will consume you it will consume you, and you will not be good to your team the issues you are dealing with.
Kofi Annan
It is not in the United Nations that the Millennium Development Goals will be achieved. They have to be achieved in each of its Member States, by the joint efforts of their governments and people.
Kofi Annan
Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies.
Kofi Annan
Perhaps the single most successful international agreement to date has been the Montreal Protocol.
Kofi Annan
More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.
Kofi Annan
Jewish people have been victims of anti-Semitism in many parts of the world, and in Europe they were the target of the Holocaust, the ultimate abomination. Yet, we cannot expect Palestinians to accept this as a reason why the wrongs done to them.
Kofi Annan
Landmines are among the most barbaric weapons of war, because they continue to kill and maim innocent people long after the war itself has ended. Also, fear of them keeps people off the land, and thus prevents them from growing food.
Kofi Annan
From this vision of the role of the United Nations in the next century flow three key priorities for the future: eradicating poverty, preventing conflict and promoting democracy.
Kofi Annan
I did not always achieve what I set out to do. Nevertheless, my personal example certainly suggests that hands-on experience can be helpful to future leaders.
Kofi Annan
literacy is at the heart of sustainable development
Kofi Annan
This is an historic step forward in the world's efforts to combat a truly global threat.
Kofi Annan
Let us work in partnerships between rich and poor to improve the opportunities of all human beings to build better lives.
Kofi Annan
