"Annan was Secretary-General during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and called for the U.S. and UK not to invade without UN support. In 2004 Annan called the invasion and occupation illegal.

Initially, Annan refused to investigate the Oil for Food program. Only after several independent investigations were set up did Annan agree to do an internal investigation on the program. Several people connected to Kofi Annan, including his son Kojo Annan, appear to have received money from the Oil for Food program illegally. Additionally, several people investigating the program appear to have received money illegally from the program. Annan has ignored calls to make the investigation transparent and refused to hand over several documents to the independent investigations."

"In his book Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, ex-General Roméo Dallaire claims that Annan was overly passive in his response to the 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. Dallaire claims that Annan, the head of the peacekeeping mission in Rwanda at that time, held back UN troops from intervening to settle the conflict and from providing more logistic and material support."

"For example, there was that splendidly legitimate U.N. operation in Bosnia, where its blue-helmeted peacekeepers watched with indifference as Serbian soldiers rounded up for slaughter thousands of Muslim men in the so-called U.N. "safe haven" of Srebrenica."
