In his address to the assembly before Bush's speech, Annan warned that the rule of law is at risk worldwide and urged heads of state present to revive their efforts to uphold it.
"Again and again, we see fundamental laws shamelessly disregarded -- those that ordain respect for innocent life, for civilians, for the vulnerable -- especially children," Annan said.
Annan pointed to Iraq where "we see civilians massacred in cold blood, while relief workers, journalists and other noncombatants are taken hostage and put to death in the most barbarous fashion."
"At the same time, we have seen Iraqi prisoners disgracefully abused," Annan said, referring to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal involving U.S. troops.
