Interview
Can the Iron Lady from the Baltics Save the United Nations?
by CURE

By Ayca Ariyoruk

Although Vike-Freiberga has not announced her candidacy for the top U.N. job, some observers speculate she may be what the U.N. needs. An inspirational leader, Vike-Freiberga offered hope to Latvians at times of desperation and demonstrated moral courage to do the right thing despite the consequences. Center's research fellow Ayca Ariyoruk met with the Latvian President on March 8, 2006 and talked about U.N. reform, NATO, Iraq and her personal journey that brought her from refugee camps to a presidential palace.
