In June 2003 Brazilian
diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello, Kofi Annan's special envoy to Iraq,
delivered a message of hope to a country shattered by war—an end to
occupation and promises of humanitarian aid, reconstruction, refugee
return, economic development and legal and judicial reform.
Unfortunately, Sergio’s
work in Iraq would be left unfinished. On August 19th, 2003 a bomb
exploded just outside the UN headquarters in Baghdad killing 22 people,
among them, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
