美國外交官羅夫‧邦區 (Ralph
Bunche) 於1971年12月9日去世
在聯合國巴勒斯坦代表團的主要調停官在1948年遇刺身亡後，羅夫‧邦區接下這份工作，並且成功以談判方式結束了第一次以阿戰爭 (Arab-Israeli
War) 。由於邦區對1949年停戰協定的貢獻，他贏得了那年的諾貝爾和平獎。後來他還負責監督聯合國在蘇伊士運河 (Suez
Canal) 、剛果 (Congo) ，以及賽普勒斯 (Cyprus) 的維和行動執行情況。此外，邦區也擔任「美國有色人種促進會」 (National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People，NAACP) 的董事達22年之久。在他生命中的最後十年裡，邦區相當支持民權運動，他甚至以61歲高齡參加在阿拉巴馬州賽爾碼 (Selma) 與蒙哥馬力 (Montgomery) 地區的遊行活動。終其一生，邦區都為了和平談判而努力。
When the chief United Nations mediator of the Palestine mission was suddenly assassinated in 1948, Ralph Bunche took over and successfully negotiated an end to the first Arab-Israeli War. His role in this 1949 truce won him the Nobel Peace Prize. He later oversaw U.N. peacekeeping missions to the Suez Canal, Congo, and Cyprus. He served as a board member for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for 22 years. In the last decade of his life, he actively supported the civil rights movements, even marching in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, when he was 61 years old. All his life, Bunche was a man who negotiated for peace.
