About time.
The head of the UN refugee agency, Ruud Lubbers, has resigned following allegations of sexual harassment.
In a letter to Secretary General Kofi Annan, Mr Lubbers denied the allegations and said he was quitting because of a lack of confidence in him.
Mr Annan accepted the resignation, thanked Mr Lubbers for his work, and said a new page had to be turned.
The allegations against Mr Lubbers were contained in a confidential UN report leaked by the press on Friday.
I'd say several pages need turning, including Annan's.
