united-nations: #ThrowbackThursday Today we remember Boutros Boutros-Ghali.  The Egyptian diplomat served as sixth Secretary-General of the United Nations (1992-1996). He guided the organisation through a tumultuous early 1990’s and helped shape the UN response to post-Cold War realities, drafting a seminal report on preventative diplomacy, peacemaking and peacekeeping.  Boutros Boutros-Ghali died in Cairo on 16th February 2016, aged 93.
