Tribute: Boutros Boutros-Ghali

It would have been easy to predict that Boutros Boutros-Ghali would enter Egyptian politics: he was born into the world of diplomacy. His grandfather, Boutros Ghali, had been Egypt's foreign minister and finance minister, and would become its prime minister in 1908. As Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Boutros Boutros-Ghali would play a major role in the peace agreements between President Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. He would later serve as the United Nation’s Secretary-General during a tumultuous time of the Rwandan genocide, the Angolan civil war, and the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia. He died at the age of 93. But you can hear his interview with Leonard from 1999, when he discussed his years at the United Nations.
