法新社称,德奎利亚尔的儿子弗朗西斯科·佩雷斯·德奎利亚尔接受媒体采访时透露,其父于当地时间3月4日晚在其家乡秘鲁去世。
“在经历艰难一周后,我的父亲去世了。他于今晚8时9分(秘鲁当地时间)去世,安息了。”弗朗西斯科说。
德奎利亚尔1920年出生于秘鲁首都利马,于1982-1991年期间担任联合国的第五任秘书长,是联合国历史上第一位、也是迄今为止唯一一位来自拉丁美洲地区的秘书长。
德奎利亚尔曾说,和平必须是一场“没有失败者的胜利”。在任期间,他通过促进对话和推动磋商,为世界上的许多国家和地区带来了和平这一宝贵的财富,堪称联合国价值观的忠实体现。
他坚持不懈地就塞浦路斯统一问题召开对话、领导了英国与阿根廷关于福克兰 / 马尔维纳斯群岛争端的调解工作、促成了1988年伊朗与伊拉克的正式停火、协调了前苏联从阿富汗的撤军工作、推进了柬埔寨的选举和新政府的成立,以及纳米比亚的独立过渡。
与此同时,他的团队还制定了中美洲发展计划,为尼加拉瓜在联合国监督下开展选举铺平了道路,这也是联合国有史以来第一次对一个独立国家的选举进行监督。在担任联合国秘书长的最后一天,他帮助美洲国家萨尔瓦多达成了和平协议,萨尔瓦多维和行动也是联合国历史上最为成功的维和行动之一。
According to AFP, de quaglial's son Francisco Perez de quaglial revealed in an interview that his father died in his hometown Peru on the night of March 4 local time.
"After a difficult week, my father died. He died at 8:9 p.m. (Peruvian local time) tonight and rested. " Francesco said.
De quaglial was born in Lima, Peru in 1920. He served as the fifth Secretary General of the United Nations from 1982 to 1991. He is the first Secretary General of the United Nations and the only secretary general from Latin America so far.
De quaglial once said that peace must be a "victory without losers". During his tenure, he has brought peace to many countries and regions in the world through promoting dialogue and consultation, which can be regarded as a faithful embodiment of the values of the United Nations.
He persistently held a dialogue on the reunification of Cyprus, led the mediation between Britain and Argentina on the Falkland / Malvinas Islands Dispute, facilitated the formal ceasefire between Iran and Iraq in 1988, coordinated the withdrawal of the former Soviet Union from Afghanistan, promoted the election of Cambodia and the establishment of a new government, and the independent transition of Namibia.
At the same time, his team also developed a central American development plan, paving the way for Nicaragua to conduct elections under the supervision of the United Nations, which is the first time in the history of the United Nations to supervise the elections of an independent country. On his last day as Secretary General of the United Nations, he helped El Salvador, an American country, reach a peace agreement. El Salvador's peacekeeping operation is one of the most successful in the history of the United Nations.
