Kofi Annan (Ghana)安南

　　科菲•安南，联合国第七任秘书长(1997-2006)，也是第一位从联合国官员中推选出来的秘书长。

　　安南任职期间的工作重点之一是全面改革联合国，重振联合国的威望，使国际体系运行更加有效。他是人权、法治、千禧发展目标与非洲活动的忠诚的拥护者。通过加强联合国与文明社会、私营机构和其他合作伙伴之间的联系，安南努力使联合国与全球各国建立更加紧密的联系。

　　安南1962年进入联合国，时任日内瓦联合国卫生组织行政预算官员。后来，他先后任职于驻亚的斯亚贝巴的非洲经济委员会、驻依斯梅利亚的联合国紧急部队、驻日内瓦的联合国难民事务署高级官员，并担任驻纽约的各种高级职位，处理人力资源，预算，金融和人事安全等事务。就在担任联合国秘书长之前，安南是主管维和事务的副秘书长。1995-1996年，安南作为秘书长特别代表，出使前南斯拉夫。1990年安南曾经促成900多名国际工作人员和其他非伊拉克国籍人士从伊拉克遣送回国。在他的倡议下，联合国维和事务得到进一步加强，能够更加有力地处理日益增加的战斗部署和人事问题。

　　2001年安南和联合国共同荣获诺贝尔和平奖。除此，他还获得过无数名誉学位和许多国家、国际奖章和荣誉。最近，他第一个获得“麦克阿瑟国际公正奖”。

　　KOFI A. ANNAN of Ghana, the seventh secretary-general of the United Nations, served from 1997 to 2006 and was the first to emerge from the ranks of United Nations staff.

　　One of Mr. Annan’s main priorities as secretary-general was a comprehensive program of reform aimed at revitalizing the United Nations and making the international system more effective. He was a constant advocate for human rights, the rule of law, the Millennium Development Goals and Africa, and sought to bring the organization closer to the global public by forging ties with civil society, the private sector and other partners.

　　Mr. Annan joined the UN system in 1962 as an administrative and budget officer with the World Health Organization in Geneva. He later served with the Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Ababa, the UN Emergency Force (UNEF II) in Ismailia, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva, and in various senior posts in New York dealing with human resources, budget, finance and staff security. Immediately before becoming secretary-general, he was under-secretary-general for peacekeeping. Mr. Annan also served as special representative of the secretary-general to the former Yugoslavia (1995-1996), and facilitated the repatriation from Iraq of more than 900 international staff and other non-Iraqi nationals (1990). At Mr. Annan’s initiative, UN peacekeeping was strengthened in ways that enabled the United Nations to cope with a rapid rise in the number of operations and personnel.

　　Mr. Annan was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize for Peace, jointly with the organization. He has also received numerous honorary degrees and many other national and international prizes, medals and honors. Most recently, he was awarded the first-ever MacArthur Award for International Justice.
