This has always been in my head as I make tough decisions. It's very important to me to know that I am perceived as an individual with strong ethics.

Boutros – Ghali and the Rwandan Genocide Born in Cairo on November 14, 1922 into a Coptic Christian family, Boutros Boutros-Ghali grew to become the sixth Secretary-general of United Nations (UN). In 1946, he graduated from Cairo University and furthered his education on to receive his Ph.D in international relations from the University of Paris. Serving as the first Arab and first African holding the leading UN position, according to (Encyclopedia Britannica, n.d.), he was faced with many challenging peacekeeping operations in Herzegovina and Bosnia, Somalia, and Rwanda. With this text, however, I seek to offer a non-judgemental scrutiny of Boutros Boutros-Ghali’s leadership before, during and after the Rwandan genocide. Boutros-Ghali, before the Rwandan genocide, was very instrumental in ensuring peace between the Israelis and the Egyptians.
