The United Nations, or UN, is a huge organisation, with more than 191 member countries. But which part of it actually holds the power? Pam O'Toole Who does what and when is always a matter of great confusion. The Secretary General, for instance, might come out and say I think such and such should happen. Kofi Annan who's the first secretary general to rise from the ranks of the United Nations itself - he was actually a member of the Secretariat before he became Secretary General - so he might prefer a particular course of action but on the other hand, if the Security Council then adopts a resolution that goes in a different direction, it's the Security Council vote that carries the weight.
