Statement by Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on the
Death of Jorge Santistevan de Noriega

April 23, 2012

Rosalynn and I, along with our Americas Program colleagues, were saddened to learn of Jorge Santistevan de Noriega's passing on April 18. Jorge was a courageous Ombudsman of Peru during the difficult 2000 elections, a member of the Friends of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and a friend who joined me in promoting democracy and human rights in the Americas.
