said in his speech. "We

Global solidarity is both
necessary and possible.
It is necessary because without a measure of
solidarity no society can be truly stable, and no

known for his opposition to the 2003 invasion of
Iraq and to Iran's nuclear program. He told the
BBC in September 2004 that the Iraq war did not
conform to the U.N. Charter and was illegal.
Annan retired on December 31, 2006. Several
months prior, he gave a farewell speech to world
leaders at U.N. Headquarters in New York,
outlining major problems with an unjust world
economy and widespread contempt for human
rights. In February 2012, Annan was appointed
as the U.N. Arab League envoy to Syria in an
attempt to end the civil war taking place there. He
developed a six-point plan for peace. He resigned
from the position, citing intransigence of both the

of a short break from 1974 to 1976, when he

nine-year period from 1987 to 1996, Annan was
appointed to serve as an Assistant Secretary-
General in three consecutive positions: Human
Resources, Management and Security Coordinator;
Program Planning, Budget and Finance, and
Controller; and Peacekeeping Operations. While he
served in that last capacity, the Rwandan genocide
took place. Canadian ex-General Roméo Dallaire,
who has been the force commander of the United
Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda, accused
Annan of being overly passive in his responses to
the 1994 genocide. Some 10 years after the
