GLASGOW, May 26 (IPS) - On the face of it, nothing really  'happened'   at the Civicus world assembly, other than  the announcement that   secretary-general Kumi Naidoo would quit.

The rest was, and was expected to be, no  more   than talk.

Already embattled with his ties to the Iraqi Oil for Food scandal, and what some term as the 'Food for Sex' scandal, Kofi Annan has dodged the latest bullet. Well, dodged only in the sense that specific allegations against him was removed at the last minute before passing.    The UN staff union passed a resolution sharply critical of the world body's senior management but expressed support for beleaguered Secretary General Kofi Annan.    An earlier draft of the resolution had strongly worded language about no confidence in senior staff of the United Nations, which has been buffeted by scandals over the past few months.
