Cynically,  Kofi Annan states  :
 
The evil that destroyed 6 million Jews, and others, in those camps is one that still threatens all of us today," Anna told a news conference. "It is not something we can consign to the distant past and forget about it."

"Every generation must be on its guard, to make sure that such a thing never happens again, "Anna said. "Of course that work is still far from complete."

Annan was in charge of the UN Peacekeeping forces that left the Tutsis defenseless against the genocide committed against them by the Hutus in Rwanda. He was warned by several reliable sources—including forces on the ground in Rwanda—that this was going to occur and was occurring but ignored the warnings and then tried to cover up his own complicity.
 
As the representative of the UN  and as head of the Peacekeeping forces during the crisis in the Balkans, he also did not denounce or take any action to frustrate the genocide committed against Bosnia Muslims by Serbs. He actually argued against the use of force to defend the Bosnians, who later were massacred by the thousands. 

The Sudan has seen two genocides transpire over the last few years as Sudanese Arabs in the northern part of the country try to eliminate black Christians and black Muslims in the southern and western part of the country.
 
As an aside, he also had no objections to the Durban Conference Against Racism from degenerating into an anti—Semitic hate—fest where participants excluded Jewish groups from participating and where screaming mobs called for another Holocaust to occur.
