Austrian politician and diplomat (1918–2007)
Kurt Josef Waldheim (21 December 1918 – 14 June 2007) was an Austrian diplomat and politician who served as the fourth Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1972 to 1981, and the ninth President of Austria from 1986 to 1992. His tenure as U.N. Secretary-General was defined by the warming of Cold War relations between the United States and the Soviet Union during détente. His presidency was controversial after it was discovered he had lied about serving in the Wehrmacht during World War II and may have participated in war crimes in Yugoslavia and Greece.
