The correct answer is option 1, Rubens Ricupero. Rubens Ricupero delivered the speech of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the 5th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the absence of Kofi Annan. It is important to note that Rubens Ricupero is a Brazilian diplomat and economist who has served as the Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) from 1995 to 2004. He played a crucial role in representing Kofi Annan at the conference and delivering his speech. Pascal Lamy, mentioned in option 2, is a French politician who served as the Director-General of the WTO from 2005 to 2013, but he did not deliver the speech in question. Celso Amorim, mentioned in option 3, is a Brazilian diplomat who has held various positions including Minister of Foreign Affairs, but he was not involved in delivering Kofi Annan`s speech at the conference. Robert Zoellick, mentioned in option 4, is an American economist and former President of the World Bank, but he was not involved in this particular event.
