Boutros Boutros-Ghali belongs to the record of public life as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Boutros Boutros-Ghali as Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1992 to 1996.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali was born at Cairo in 1922. His recorded nationality is Egypt. He was educated at Cairo University and Sciences Po.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as politician, diplomat and writer.
His affiliations include United Nations and Cairo University.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His recorded fields of work are international relations and political science.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
That the work was done from Egypt matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali died in 2016 at the age of 94. The work outlived the arguments around it.
