Press encounter upon arrival at UNHQ (unofficial transcript)
Press events | Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General
Q: Have you heard any information that the UN itself is a target, because we have seen security and we have heard about the threat to target this building?
SG: I have no such information. Once before, yes, but not now. I think it is precautionary.
Q: How are the precautions in this building? Do you worry coming into work in the building every day?
SG: Do I worry coming in? Not at all, not at all. I think, we have work to do and we are going to get on with it.
Q: [inaudible, on Resolution on terrorism adopted by the Security Council on Friday evening]
SG: I think it was an important resolution, and it should form the basis of an international coalition that will rally all Member States around the world to fight terrorism. In a way it provides a basis and states what governments are expected to do. I think in that respect it is a very, very useful resolution.*****
