The Secretary-General is appointed to a five year term. UN Secretaries-General normally spend two terms in office; however, sometimes, they will serve only one. The position of UN Secretary-General is supposed to rotate by geographic region, but that rule is often broken; since Mr Boutros-Ghali served only one term, a successor that was also from Africa was chosen, Kofi Annan, and after Mr Annan had finished his first term, the member states were so impressed with Annan's performance that he was appointed for a second term

In truth, however, member states reappointed this evil man because they feared being called racists if they didn't. Fear (aka, political correctness) is a very powerful force.
Time to send this evil man, Koffi Annan, back to his country.
