SHASHI THAROOR: A PHOTO TRIBUTE from MaximsNewsNetwork by Dr. Max Stamper

     UNITED NATIONS - / MaximsNews Network / 27 January 2010 - MaximsNewsNetwork, News Network for the United Nations and the International Community, is pleased to honour the international work of Dr. Shashi Tharoor with this brief photo tribute and to thank him for his early support of our news service at the United Nations.

Dr. Shashi Tharoor is currently Indian Minister of State for External Affairs and a member of the Indian Parliament from the Trivandrum constituency in Kerala. 

"India's place in the world is of great importance,” said Tharoor. 

“India is a country which for the longest period of time, since the days of Jawaharlal Nehru, has had an honoured place in the world...and I wish to make my own contribution for strengthening that very honoured place." 

Shashi Tharoor had previously been United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information where he led the Organization’s communications strategy to ensure coherent and effective external messages and served as an influencial speaker for the world body during the tenure of Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Dr. Tharoor was the official candidate of India for the position of U.N. Secretary-General in 2006 and came in second out of the seven final candidates running for the office. 

Dr. Tharoor is also a distinguished and prolific author and human rights advocate.

While he was United Nations Under-Secretary-General, Dr. Tharoor was an early friend and supporter of MaximsNews.com where he was a contributor of opinion columns as well as a friend and advisor to its editor and publisher. 

Thanks to specific intervention by Tharoor, MaximsNewsNetwork became the first exclusively online news website to be given U.N. media accreditation and his early support was instrumental in creating today’s global news network.

Prior to joining DCPI, Tharoor served as Director of Communications and Special Projects in the Office of the Secretary-General and as Executive Assistant to the Secretary-General (1997-2001).  

As Special Assistant to the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations (1989-1996), he assisted two successive heads of United Nations peacekeeping operations in managing the challenges of unprecedented growth and evolution in peacekeeping at the end of the cold war.

From 1991 to 1996, he led the team in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations responsible for the United Nations peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia. 

In 2003, the Secretary-General appointed him United Nations Coordinator for Multilingualism.

Tharoor's United Nations career began in 1978 on the staff of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva.  

He was Head of the UNHCR office in Singapore (1981-1984) during the peak of the Vietnamese "boat people" crisis.

Tharoor is also the author of numerous books, as well as numerous articles, op-eds and literary reviews in a wide range of publications. 

He is also the recipient of several journalism and literary awards, including a Commonwealth Writers' Prize.

In January 1998, Tharoor was named by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as a "Global Leader of Tomorrow".

Tharoor is an elected Fellow of the New York Institute of the Humanities and a member of the Advisory Board of the Indo-American Arts Council.

Born in London in 1956, Tharoor was educated in India and the United States, completing a Ph.D. in 1978 (at the age of 22) at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he also earned two Master's degrees.

Tharoor was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in International Affairs by the University of Puget Sound, United States.
