Boutros-Ghali, Boutros
Boutros-Ghali, Boutros (1922– ) Egyptian politician, sixth secretary-general (1992–96) of the
United Nations (UN). As Egypt's foreign affairs minister (1977–91), he was involved in many of the Middle East peace negotiations. He briefly served as prime minister of Egypt (1991–92), before becoming the first African secretary-general of the UN. Early in his term he faced civil-war crises in the Balkans, Somalia, and Rwanda. A fiercely independent secretary-general, Boutros-Ghali managed to alienate US opinion and was blamed for the failure of UN peacekeeping in Somalia and Bosnia
