UNITED NATIONS — The lawyer for a woman who accused a senior United Nations official of sexual harassment said he believes that U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan covered up for an old friend by letting him keep his job despite the harassment charges.
The accusation follows Sunday's resignation by Ruud Lubber (search), the U.N. high commissioner for refugees. Lubbers, a former Dutch prime minister, has insisted he's innocent of charges that he sexually harassed female staffers and has said he felt insulted, accusing U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan (search) of giving in to "media pressure."
The sexual harassment allegations were made against Lubbers in April 2004. In May of that year, an investigation into those claims was launched by the United Nations and the investigators backed the woman's claims.
But in July, Annan ruled that no further action be taken. He also kept the report secret.

'Lewd' Rubbers
LOL.. the stopwatch..
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick..
60 Minutes must be working on this latest little scandal full-time. NOT!!!
Kofi's time is literally flying by; he's gonna get his, IMO.
Coverups are acceptable if it's done by a Marxist goat humper.
Isn't this a violation of international law???
right.......I'm sure SeeBS is sending in their top INTERN to handle this story......right after he takes his baby brother to school.........
We must have faith that the nature of most folks is to do the right thing and not the expedient thing...
And trust that our own government that has so generously supported the UN bunko squad all these years has had enough of the same old tired crap and corruption and coverups.
Switch around the R in Ruud and the L in Lubbers and it becomes more interesting.

Make way for Clinton...
Annan also is covering up for his theif of a son, Kojo.
Fox's Jonathon Hunt is doing a great job with the follow up on these UN stories.
and Mr. Rather asked, "Just what did you know and when did you know it, Mr. Annon"?
Yeah right.
This will just be swept under the rug like all the other UN BS.
Koffing Anus has his share of misfit "friends".
OMG!! ROFLMPO!!!
Have faith in Freepers! We have been changing the course of media history.
Isn't that the truth!
