We’re often tired of their rhetoric and demagogue speeches, in what many of us see as fuelling empty promises about making the world a better place. Speaking for myself, I can’t think politicians from our time that I can say hand on heart that I truly believe in their good intentions, integrity and honourable values. All but one, who unfortunately was taken away from us five years ago.

Sérgio Vieira de Mello was a man who lived his life to honour the principles for which the United Nations was created: To help ease the suffering of people and mediate conflicts around the world. Sérgio Vieira de Mello was a pivotal figure within the United Nations that legitimised the organisation’s existence. A charismatic figure and remarkable diplomatic, he worked to resolve conflicts in several regions including Lebanon, Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, Kosovo and Timor-Leste. He died five years ago in a coward attack in Iraq.
