In an interview with the BBC to mark his 80th birthday earlier this year, Annan admitted the UN's shortcomings, saying it "can be improved, it is not perfect but if it didn't exist you would have to create it."
Wareysi uu la yeeshay BBC-da HardTalk si uu u cadeeyo sanadii 80aad ee bisha Abriil, Mr Annan wuxuu qiray in dhibaatooyinka QM ay tahay, isaga oo leh "waa la hagaajin karaa, ma fiicna, laakiin haddii aysan jirin waa inaad abuurtaa."
