News Briefs United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan Asks World Not to Forget Mideast, Poverty and AIDSDecember 20, 2001 At a year-end news conference, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said for many of the world's people, 2001 was not so different from 2000 or 1999. "Just another year of living with HIV/AIDS, or in a refugee camp, or under repressive rule, or with crushing poverty, or watching crops dwindle and children go hungry as the global environment comes under even greater threat." Annan, who with the UN itself received this year's Nobel Peace Prize, said the international organization needed sufficient resources to carry out its tasks. "I call upon all member states to overcome their differences, and provide the organization with the funds we need to carry out the vital work that the world expects of us," he said.
