2006, it was a year of war in Lebanon, ongoing violence in Iraq, and continuing crisis in 00:00:00
Darfur. 00:00:15
In these turbulent times, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan appealed once more to the conscience 00:00:17
of the world. 00:00:25
What matters is that the strong as well as the weak agree to be bound by the same rules 00:00:27
to treat each other with the same respect. 00:00:34
What matters is that all peoples accept the need to listen, to compromise, to take each 00:00:38
other's views into account. 00:00:46
In the summer, tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon burst into flames. 00:00:49
The world appealed to the warring parties to protect innocent lives and to stop the 00:00:55
targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure. 00:00:59
Among the victims, four unarmed UN observers killed by an Israeli missile. 00:01:05
While the Security Council struggled to find consensus on a ceasefire resolution, the UN 00:01:12
brought relief to the people trapped in southern Lebanon. 00:01:18
War is not, and I repeat, war is not the continuation of politics by other means. 00:01:23
On the contrary, it represents a catastrophic failure of political skill and imagination. 00:01:30
Finally, 45 countries pledged to send soldiers for a robust peacekeeping force that would 00:01:38
observe Israeli withdrawal and assist the Lebanese armed forces to create an arms-free 00:01:44
zone in southern Lebanon. 00:01:50
Lebanon's infrastructure had been torn to shreds, and returning refugees had to restart 00:01:53
their lives. 00:01:58
UNICEF organized a vaccination campaign for 180,000 children and established a lifeline 00:02:00
for water. 00:02:05
Bakeries were repaired by the World Food Programme. 00:02:09
A sense of normalcy returned when schools opened for the first time after the ceasefire, 00:02:12
but children are still at risk. 00:02:17
More than 100,000 cluster bombs and unexploded ordnance litter towns and fields in south 00:02:21
Lebanon. 00:02:27
Twelve-year-old Sikina is one of the victims. 00:02:28
I felt pain in my stomach. 00:02:35
There was smoke everywhere and blood pouring from me. 00:02:37
Experts are now defusing the cluster bombs, but the fragile situation in Lebanon was further 00:02:44
destabilized when industry minister Pierre Gemayel was killed in November. 00:02:51
The Security Council agreed to provide technical help to investigate the murder. 00:02:57
There was also ongoing fighting in Gaza. 00:03:04
The Security Council called on Israel to seize its military action and on Palestinian militants 00:03:07
to stop rocket attacks. 00:03:13
With new waves of violence in Iraq, the number of civilians killed rose month after month. 00:03:18
With nearly 100,000 people fleeing every month, the UN held a high-level meeting on Iraq in 00:03:26
September. 00:03:32
There is a grave danger that the Iraqi state will break down, possibly in the midst of 00:03:33
a full-scale civil war. 00:03:41
2006 brought back old fears of nuclear bombs. 00:03:43
When Iran announced plans to enrich uranium, suspicion grew about the nature of its nuclear 00:03:48
program. 00:03:54
Kofi Annan, on a visit to Tehran, urged the government to negotiate. 00:03:56
Weeks later, another shockwave, North Korea's first nuclear test, threatened to unravel 00:04:02
the nonproliferation treaty that had contained the spread of nuclear bombs for nearly 40 00:04:10
years. 00:04:16
When the Security Council voted on a range of sanctions, the North Korean delegation 00:04:17
left under protest. 00:04:23
U.S. Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton. 00:04:28
It is the second time in three months that the representative of the DPRK has rejected 00:04:32
a unanimous resolution of the Security Council and walked out of this chamber. 00:04:40
It is the contemporary equivalent of Nikita Khrushchev pounding his shoe on the desk of 00:04:45
the General Assembly. 00:04:51
In Darfur, an estimated 200,000 people have been slaughtered in the conflict between government 00:04:53
forces, allied militia, and rebels seeking greater autonomy. 00:05:00
More than two million people have left their homes, and deadly attacks against civilians 00:05:07
are reported every day. 00:05:13
Under the most desperate circumstances, new babies are born in the camps. 00:05:16
Some, the lucky ones, get medical care and supplies from the UN Population Fund. 00:05:21
Actor George Clooney came to the United Nations to draw attention to the victims. 00:05:28
But make no mistake, it is the first genocide of the 21st century, and if it continues unchecked, 00:05:35
it will not be the last. 00:05:40
The conflict threatened to spill over into Chad, where remote villages were looted and 00:05:42
burned by armed men on horseback. 00:05:48
The African Union has agreed to extend its peacekeeping mandate in Darfur with logistical 00:05:51
support from the United Nations. 00:05:57
The international community urged all parties to accept a ceasefire and political talks 00:05:59
as necessary steps towards peace. 00:06:05
Across national borders, violence between religious groups and public outcry over controversial 00:06:10
cartoons led to a worldwide debate on how to prevent a clash of cultures and religions. 00:06:15
In Istanbul, the UN's high-level team on the Alliance of Civilizations presented its final 00:06:23
report, recommending education, media campaigns, and better opportunities for young people 00:06:30
to build bridges and promote a culture of respect. 00:06:37
Human beings have the capacity for great evil, but they've also got the capacity for great 00:06:40
good, and that ultimately nothing is beyond resolution. 00:06:46
UN peacekeeping deployment reached a historic high in October, with over 80,000 soldiers 00:06:56
and police and 15,000 civilians serving in 18 different missions. 00:07:03
In Congo, the UN assisted in the first countrywide elections, a milestone in the peace process. 00:07:10
Ballots were distributed to the most remote areas, and votes were often counted by candlelight. 00:07:18
After the announcement of the final results, demonstrators opened fire and turned police 00:07:25
trucks over. UN peacekeepers had to intervene to restore order. 00:07:30
In post-conflict Liberia, each week hundreds of refugees return home, but the country still 00:07:36
has an 85 percent unemployment rate. UN peacekeepers and former fighters are rebuilding the war-ravaged 00:07:43
infrastructure. Their first major project, the Kofi Annan Peace Bridge. 00:07:50
Liberia's president is Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. 00:07:58
I stand here in testimony to the rebirth of my country. We have learned that no matter 00:08:02
how protracted the conflict, the parties must sit around the table to iron out their differences 00:08:09
and to make peace. At the criminal tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, 00:08:16
43 generals and politicians are on trial for genocide and crimes against humanity. 00:08:22
But trying all 800,000 suspects in the murders would take a century. 00:08:29
So Rwanda started the largest justice experiment in history, a village-based court system. 00:08:36
The UN development program trained a quarter of a million village judges. Convicts pay 00:08:44
for their crimes with community work, like building much-needed houses for war widows 00:08:50
and orphans. Off the shore of Italy, another ship of migrants 00:08:56
washed ashore. In a rapidly globalizing world, 200 million people are on the move looking 00:09:02
for opportunity. Some risk their lives in unknown waters or struggle to cross borders 00:09:09
illegally and fall prey to exploitation and abuse. 00:09:15
A summit meeting in New York focused on the problems but also the benefits of migration, 00:09:21
noting that the money migrants send home exceeds all international aid combined. 00:09:27
2006 marked a sad anniversary, 25 years of HIV-AIDS. 00:09:34
The face of the epidemic is increasingly young, poor and female. Twice as many young women 00:09:43
are living with HIV than young men. Only one in five has access to antiretroviral 00:09:49
medication. Ghensani Mavassi, the first HIV-positive speaker, to address the General Assembly. 00:09:56
Because of scientific advantages of the past 25 years, I have hope that when time comes 00:10:05
for me to take treatment, it will be available. All the 14,000 more who will be infected by 00:10:11
the end of today deserve this hope. 00:10:17
There is new hope for millions of people who cannot afford the drugs they need. Forty countries 00:10:20
established an investment fund to purchase quality drugs and diagnostics to combat AIDS, 00:10:25
tuberculosis and malaria. Floods in eastern Africa, droughts in many other parts of the 00:10:31
globe, snow disappearing on Kilimanjaro and Arctic icebergs melting faster than ever before 00:10:39
reminded the world that climate change is real. 00:10:46
A United Nations conference in Nairobi criticized a frightening lack of leadership in confronting 00:10:51
the biggest global threat. 00:10:58
And I would want leaders around the world to really show courage and to know that if 00:11:00
they do, their people and the population and the voters will be with them. 00:11:08
More than a billion people still have no access to clean drinking water. Nuriyo in Somalia 00:11:15
is one of millions of women who struggle every day to find water. 00:11:23
For a few in Mozambique, UNICEF has installed pumps driven entirely by children's playful 00:11:28
energy. 00:11:38
In 2006, the world's official development aid broke the $100 billion barrier. But global 00:11:42
arms spending is still ten times higher. 00:11:51
Prospects are mixed to reach the millennium development goals of eliminating extreme poverty 00:11:55
and hunger by 2015. But around the world, citizens are urging their governments to keep 00:12:00
on trying. 00:12:06
More than 23 million people stood up against poverty in 80 countries. It was the largest 00:12:07
coordinated movement in the Guinness Book of Records. 00:12:13
And people also turned out in hundreds of thousands to march against hunger. 00:12:18
With so much on its agenda, the United Nations is at the threshold of a new era. 00:12:23
After ten years at the organization's helm, Kofi Annan leaves office. 00:12:30
Yes, I shall miss what is, when all is said and done, the world's most exultant joy. 00:12:36
I yield my place to others with an obstinate feeling, a real obstinate feeling of hope 00:12:45
for our common future. 00:12:53
Thank you very much. 00:12:56
In October, the General Assembly elected Ban Ki-moon, Foreign Minister of South Korea, 00:13:02
to be the next Secretary General. 00:13:10
The UN is needed now more than ever before. And the world's people will not be fully served 00:13:14
unless peace, development, and human rights, the three pillars of the United Nations, are 00:13:22
advanced together with equal vigor. 00:13:30
I, Ban Ki-moon, solemnly swear as Secretary General of the United Nations... 00:13:35
