|
|
Finland's former President Martti Ahtisaari received the Nobel Peace Prize on Oct. 10 for his efforts over more than 30 years to resolve conflicts around the world, from Namibia and Aceh, Indonesia, to Kosovo and Iraq.
Ahtisaari, who joined Finland's Foreign Ministry in 1965, spent 20 years abroad, first as ambassador to Tanzania and then to the United Nations in New York.
In 1994, Ahtisaari accepted the presidential candidacy of Finland's Social Democratic Party and won the election. He did not seek re-election in 2000 and has since worked on international peace efforts. (AP)
