Condolences on the Death of Former UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar 03/06/2020 10:56 AM EST Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State On behalf of the people of the United States, I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of former UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar to his family.  Javier Perez de Cuellar was an adept Peruvian statesman and a tenacious advocate for peace.  He led the UN for two terms with distinction and honor during a historic and challenging period.  The United States awarded him the highest civilian honor of the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991 for his extraordinary diplomatic efforts to obtain the release of American hostages from Lebanon.  We mark his passing by remembering his exceptional life.   Stay connected with the State Department: External links found in this content or on Department of State websites that go to other non-Department websites should not be construed as an endorsement of the views or privacy policies contained therein.    Update your subscriptions, modify your password or email address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.
