词条 ElBaradei, Mohamed
释义
ElBaradei, Mohamed
Egyptian lawyer and government official
born June 17, 1942, Cairo, Egypt
Egyptian lawyer and government official who was director general (1997– ) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In 2005 ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for their efforts to prevent the use of atomic energy for military purposes.
Following in the footsteps of his father, Mostafa, a former president of the Egyptian Bar Association, ElBaradei also studied law. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Cairo in 1962 and a doctorate in international law from New York University in 1974. During the 1960s he was a member of the Egyptian diplomatic service, twice serving on missions to the UN in New York City and in Geneva. From 1974 to 1978 he was assistant to Egypt's foreign minister. In 1981 he became a senior fellow in charge of the International Law Program at the UN Institute for Training and Research, and he was an adjunct professor in international law (1981–87) at New York University.
In 1984 ElBaradei began working for the IAEA. The agency gradually came to take an active role in attempts to prevent nuclear proliferation, with efforts first centred on Iraq and The Sudan, in which cases the agency claimed success, and later on North Korea and Iran. ElBaradei worked as counsel and, beginning in 1993, as assistant director general for external relations. Appointed director general of the agency in 1997, he was reappointed to a second term in 2001 and, despite opposition from the United States, to a third term in 2005.
Although ElBaradei sometimes took a tough stance toward uncooperative governments, he was also known as an advocate of patient diplomacy. In 2002 he challenged U.S. claims that Iraqi President Ṣaddām Ḥussein had restarted Iraq's nuclear program—allegations that were later proven false—and he resisted U.S. efforts to impose sanctions on Iran.
