United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the organization he leads were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in reforming the 56-year-old institution and reshaping the world's post-Cold War pursuit for peace.
The award provided a huge boost for an organization that had been starved of funding by Washington and maligned by many in the U.S. Congress for its harsh criticism of Israel, its opposition to the death penalty and advocacy of an international criminal court.
