The Economist this week has a piece by UN Sec-Gen Kofi Annan on reforming the UN. It follows a report by the "UN High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change" which included Gareth Evans. The print edition (page 24) has him listed as "president of the International Crisis Group and former tourism minister." Well he did get around a lot.

Gra-gra fancied himself at one stage as a UN Sec-Gen and even learnt French to qualify, but has settle for president of the International Crisis Group. Before that "Biggles" was Australia's foreign minister and sometime paramour for ex-Democrat leader Cheryl Kernot...the Age has a full profile. And here we all were thinking Belgium was far enough away for him to stop doing damage.
