The last thing the UN is trying to do is reduce slavery throughout the world!
There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach and in the destruction of lives.
The porn industry makes more money per minute world wide than any other industry. Oh yes Annan, that is supporting human rights for sure when 14 year olds can be dragged from country to country for sex.
