UNITED NATIONS \u2013 The 192-nation U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday unanimously approved a second five-year term for U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, who analysts and diplomats see as a solid ally of Washington.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The former South Korean foreign minister, who took over as U.N. secretary-general from his predecessor Kofi Annan in 2007, was re-elected to the world body\u2019s top job by acclamation, effective next Jan. 1.<\/p>\n

Ban, 67, was unopposed, making his re-election a virtual certainty after the Security Council last week recommended he continue at the helm of the United Nations. He thanked the U.N. member states for the \u201cgreat honor\u201d they bestowed on him but later told reporters he had much unfinished business.<\/p>\n
