UN Secretary-General expresses deep sadness at Jimmy Carter's death
UN Secretary-General Guterres on Sunday expressed his deep sadness at the passing of former US President Jimmy Carter at his home in Plains, Georgia. He died at the age of 100. The Democratic Party icon lived longer than any president in US history.
President Carter served in the office from 1977 to 1981. He established a major hub for diplomacy and conflict resolution in the form of the Carter Centre. He received the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts.
The former US President elected to stop medical treatment last year, choosing instead to get hospice care at home. He suffered an undisclosed illness. Incumbent President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden led the tributes.
In his statement, UN Chief Guterres highlighted President Carter’s leadership and contributions to international peace and security. Carter turned his attention to addressing inequality, human rights issues and inadequate housing after leaving office.
“President Carter’s commitment to international peace and human rights also found full expression after he left the presidency … He played a key role in conflict mediation, election monitoring, the promotion of democracy …,” Guterres added.
The UN Secretary-General extended his deepest condolences to the Carter family and all citizens of the US. President Carter lost his partner of 77 years, Rosalynn, last year. He is remembered for his efforts to protect human rights and peace.
