Kofi loses "No Confidence Vote"
2004-11-20
A union representing United Nations staff has voted "no confidence" in the world body's senior management. It is the first time in the labor organization's history that it has cast such a vote, which is largely symbolic and has no effect over any U.N. officials' jobs. The vote was tallied behind closed doors Friday afternoon at U.N. headquarters in New York. The move was in response to a series of scandals plaguing the United Nations.
