Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is being remembered by world leaders for his contributions to peace and human rights.
World leaders representing some of the United States' closest allies as well as nations friendly to the country memorialized former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer paid tribute to Carter's spirit of helping others, particularly his country, in helming the historic Camp David Accords, the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, during his presidency and, afterward, promoting democracy and low-cost housing.
'His presidency will be remembered for the historic Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, and it was that lifelong dedication to peace that saw him receive the Nobel Peace prize,' Starmer noted that though Carter's presidential legacy is clouded by the Iran hostage crisis, which began in late 1979, he made bold and lasting moves long after he left the White House. The Arab League, which is made up of 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa, on Monday commended Carter's'tireless efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East, culminating in the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty in 1979.' 'We also recall with gratitude his genuine and ongoing defense of the rights of the oppressed Palestinian people,' the statement added.'He was a man characterized by courage and honesty in his political stances.' Pope Francis noted his'firm commitment, motivated by deep Christian faith, to the cause of reconciliation and peace between peoples, the defense of human rights and the welfare of the poor and those in need,' the statement added. French President Emmanuel Macron venerated Carter on Sunday for speaking for those without much voice and for fighting for a more peaceful world
