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
Generals often find a way of dealing with generals on the officer-to-officer level. In the hierarchy of the military and with the almost similar structure and similar language, they find a way of dealing with each other.
Kofi Annan
HIV/AIDS has become much more than a health issue. HIV/AIDS is a development issue, it's a security issue.
Kofi Annan
The happiness of any society begins with the well being of the families that live in it.
