...Grievous Loss The death of U.N. diplomat and humanitarian Sergio Vieira de Mello in the attack on U.N. headquarters in Baghdad was shocking [Sept. 1]. Vieira de Mello, the head of the U.N.'s mission in Iraq, was an indefatigable servant of peace.

He inspired trust and stood for the individual making a profound difference. The displaced, war-torn, oppressed...

In a career that spanned more than three decades, Vieira de Mello dedicated his keen intellect and considerable charm to rebuilding war-torn states, from Bangladesh to Mozambique. The Brazilian diplomat won accolades for helping restore a measure of civilian order to Kosovo in 1999. His greatest acclaim resulted from his work from 1999 to 2002, when he oversaw the transformation of East Timor into an independent democracy after...
