Kofi Annan "reluctantly" accepted another resignation on Tuesday. The latest one is from Under-Secretary-General for Management Catherine Bertini. It was Bertini who cleared UN auditor Dileep Nair of a wide range of allegations including corrupt practices and violating Staff Regulations in November 2004. Dileep Nair, as Canada Free Press reported in March, is the embattled-by-Paul-Volcker UN auditor accused of "misusing Oil-for-Food funds and violating UN Staff Regulations."

Nair left the UN last week maintaining his innocence. Bertini will leave the UN at the end of this month. Canada's Louise Fréchette, Kofi’s #2, who blocked Nair from reporting Oil-for-Food audit irregularities to the UN Security Council remains at the UN intact. [. . . . ]
