Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the former secretary-general of the UN who clashed bitterly with the Clinton administration, has died at the age of 93.
曾与克林顿(Clinton)政府发生尖锐冲突的联合国(UN)前秘书长布特罗斯布特罗斯-加利(Boutros Boutros-Ghali,见头图右)逝世,享年93岁。
An Egyptian diplomat who became the first African and the first Arab to hold the post, Boutros-Ghali took charge of the UN in 1992 when the international organisation appeared to be coming into its own after four decades of Cold War gridlock.
这位埃及外交官是担任联合国秘书长一职的首位非洲人和首位阿拉伯人。他于1992年开始执掌联合国。在经历了40年的冷战僵局之后,这个国际组织当时似乎正在赢得它应有的地位。
However, the UN was buffeted by crises in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia during his tenure and his relations with the US were so strained that Washington blocked his 1996 re-election, making Boutros-Ghali the only secretary-general to serve one term.
然而,在布特罗斯-加利任期内,联合国却连遭索马里、卢旺达和波黑危机的打击,他与美国的关系变得如此紧张,以至于美国政府在1996年堵死了他的连任之路,令他成为唯一一位任期只有一届的联合国秘书长。
The campaign to unseat him, which was led by then secretary of state Madeleine Albright, demonstrated a level of influence at the UN that Washington might find difficult to repeat today. But it was also a reminder of a time when the UN seemed more central to global problems than it has in recent years.
