Jimmy Carter (2002)

James "Jimmy” Carter, 39th President of the United States, is well known for his conflict mediation efforts in the Middle East, Haiti and Panama. In 2002, Carter was honored for his continuing efforts in finding peaceful solutions to international conflicts, advancing democracy and respect for human rights, and promoting economic and social development. He said, "War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children."
