Ralph Bunche was a long-serving UN official who went on to become a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate for his efforts to bring peace and stability to the Middle East. Bunche was the architect and director of subsequent United Nations peacekeeping operations and personally led the largest of these, the 1960 UN operation in the Congo. Until his death in 1971, he was the international negotiator and mediator most in demand all over the world.
Utilizing material from the UN Audiovisual Library, this production highlights Bunche’s 1949 speech at an American Association of the United Nations event as captured by UN media coverage.
