France's health minister Bernard Kouchner (R), who will head the United Nations civilian operations in rebuilding Kosovo, gestures at U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan during a news conference at the European U.N. headquarters in Geneva July 6. Annan, in Geneva for a session of the U.N.'s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), named Kouchner last week to take on the job as his special representative to oversee the creation of a new administration for Kosovo.
