Report: Annan failed to fix Oil for Food program

September  9, 2005 

After a year-long investigation, a committee has found that Kofi Annan, head of the United Nations, failed to halt corruption in the Oil for Food program, which was supposed to provide food to impoverished Iraqi citizens. 
According to Paul Volcker, head of the Independent Inquiry Committee, "Our assignment has been to look for mis-or mal-administration in the oil-for-food program and for evidence of corruption within the UN organization and by contractors. Unhappily, we found both." 
The report emphasized that Annan knowingly allowed Saddam Hussein to continue making huge unethical profits off of the program.
