The present Thai Foreign Minister (can't remember his name) might be a good choice.  He is highly intelligent, stable and articulate (in English).  He belongs to a country that is mature and politically uncomitted, sitting nicely close to China and bang in the middle of Asia. He'd get my vote.

Kofi Annan has been the Secretary General of the United Nations for 9 years.  He began his term on January 1, 1997 after being elected on Dec. 13, 1996.

Why keep the UN at all? It is a joke. For people who need help, the best they can hope for from the UN is to not be raped by their 'peacekeeper' forces.\n\nWe could set up a union of free and willing democratic states who would actually step up and fight wrongs in this world.

Oh my God. You should totally run for President. If the UN was in Baghdad or the Gaza Strip these wars that last for years would only last like three days. That's how you have world peace make all these world leaders have to meet in the same places they are bombing. Once that first bullet past their head they will be signing peace treaties left and right.

It was suggested by Arsene Wenger. He also suggested to England,Switzerland,Spain,Togo and France which players should be in their teams. I understand he plans to replace George Bush in the White House.

Sam Allardyce, Steve McLaren are good choices. If the FA decided to use foreign manager, they can use Rafael Benitez or Fabio Capello.

Evo Morales (bolivia) a country leader should look out for its ouwn resources like the latest development by this world leader.\nOthers should follow...

No I don't think so as the UN has already chosen Ban Ki-Moon as the sucessor to Kofi Annan.\n\nThe debate has been long gone and over. You're a couple of months too late to start thinking about it now!

Did you even TRY to go the United Nations website before you asked this?  Anyone who replies with a full list is a fool - though I know you'll find one.\n\nDon't be lazy.

Franz Beckenbauer. He's already proved himself to be a great player and a good coach,he will definetely do well as the President of FIFA. Moreover i thought his organisation in Germany WC was brilliant. He has good management skills and he will bring abt new changes that will benifit football and also get rid of all the cheating and diving. and also give more attention towards women's football(after all that is football too!!!)

Yeah I think Eric Cantona or Mark Hughes would be great managers for Man U. However, I think Carlos Queiroz is the best choice cos after all, he's been doing a great job with Fergie. Or maybe Martin O'Neill...or even Roy Keane? Who knows.\n\nAnd I'd be glad if noone here mention Jose Mourinho to replace our great Ferguson. He's no match for him.

Bush would have loved to finish the job. The U.N. would not allow it. That is when we should have left the U.N.

it depends on several factors like support of us and china.his chance will be bright if Pakistan and srilanka with draw their candidates.because of strategic agreement between India and the USA, the latter may give support to India.if India lobbies with other members of security council it is not an impossible task for winning

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the UN to help with anything, especially in the human-rights department.\n\nThis is the same organization that, just a day or two ago, voted down an amendment that would have called on Cuba to curb its human rights abuses.\n\nThis happened on the same day that the UN passed a resolution calling on the U.S. to end its Cuba embargo.\n\nThat's the UN for you -- silence with regard to Castro's human-rights atrocities, while lecturing us to do business with that bastard.\n\nSo, since the UN is so wimpy with regard to Castro, there's no reason to believe they can do much of anything about Nigeria or anything else in the human-rights arena.\n\n.
