About This Item
1960. Dag Hammarskjold was a Swedish economist and diplomat who served as the second Secretary-General of the United Nations. Hammarskjold still remains the youngest person to have held the post, being only 47 years old when he was appointed in 1953. His second term was cut short when he died in the crash of his DC-6 airplane in Northern Rhodesia while en route to cease-fire negotiations during the Congo Crisis. He is the only person to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize posthumously. Hammarskjold has been referred to as one of the two best secretaries-general of the United Nations, and his appointment has been mentioned as the most notable success for the UN. President John F. Kennedy called Hammarskjold "the greatest statesman of our century.
