NEW YORK - Secretary-General Kofi Annan has requested an initial $92.4 million to fortify U.N. buildings around the world, a recognition that organizational security does not meet international standards.
The money would be used primarily for structural upgrades at the headquarters building in New York, at peacekeeping missions and at U.N. tribunals in Tanzania and the Netherlands, according to U.N. officials, who say the extra-budgetary request was spurred by an Aug. 19 bombing at the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad.
