What Price, Peace?

The New York University Law School Magazine contains “a rare in-depth profile of Mohamed ElBaradei (LL.M. ’71, J.S.D. ’74, LL.D. ’04), who runs the International Atomic Energy Agency.”

The 2005 Nobel Peace Prize winner believes that, to forestall violence, the world’s powers need to address human rights injustices and quality of life imbalances. “It’s not just poverty per se, it’s the sense of humiliation and injustice. When somebody feels humiliated,” he says, “they just go bananas.”

Also, make sure to check out ElBaradei’s 1970s “Dino Ironsides” ‘stache.
