December 30, 2024
United Nations, New York – United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has paid tribute to former US President Jimmy Carter, describing him as a “peacemaker” and “human rights champion.”
Carter, 99, passed away peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, on Saturday surrounded by his family.
In a statement, Guterres said that Carter “will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights.”
“He was a true global statesman who dedicated his life to building a better world,” Guterres said.
Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He is best known for his efforts to promote peace in the Middle East, including his role in brokering the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt.
Carter also established the Carter Center in 1982, a non-profit organization that promotes democracy, human rights, and conflict resolution around the world.
Guterres praised Carter’s work as a “tireless advocate for human dignity.”
“He played a crucial role in the advancement of democracy and human rights around the globe,” Guterres said.
“His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.”
Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his “tireless efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.”
He is survived by his wife of 76 years, Rosalynn Carter, and their four children.
