peacekeeper. But who is Kofi Annan? The story of this man from Ghana who
rose through the United Nations ranks to become the organization's seventh
Secretary-General is explored in a companion Web site to the landmark PBS
documentary KOFI ANNAN: CENTER OF THE STORM. KOFI ANNAN Online, produced by
Thirteen/WNET New York, launches December 23, 2002 at http://www.pbs.org/un/

> KOFI ANNAN Online expands on the film's coverage to give visitors a sense
of the Secretary-General's role as the world's leading diplomat within the
context of the United Nation's global operations. Hotly-contested issues
facing the United Nations, from the International Criminal Court to weapons
inspectors in Iraq, are explored in online debates between prominent
commentators with insight into Mr. Annan's positions on these matters.

> The site also offers an interactive look into the inner workings of the
United Nations' system, from the Security Council to the International Court
of Justice, that challenges users to determine how the United Nations makes
its decisions. Detailed biographical information on Mr. Annan and past
Secretaries-General give a sense of the likely legacy of this global
peacemaker.
