In Memoriam: Kofi Annan
The U.S. Institute of Peace mourns the loss of Kofi Annan, who served as the United Nations’ secretary general during a turbulent decade and was awarded the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for his career-long effort to strengthen the United Nations’ role. “We have lost a great soul and a relentless champion for peace, human rights and human dignity,” said USIP President Nancy Lindborg. “Thank you for your life of service and for inspiring so many to do the same.”
