Former UN chief Javier Perez de Cuellar, who was known for his peace-making efforts including brokering a ceasefire in the Iran-Iraq war, died Wednesday in his native Peru, aged 100, his son said.
Perez de Cuellar served as UN secretary general from 1981 to 1991, when he was often described as a "pacifist by vocation and nature."
Following the collapse of the Fujimori regime in November 2000, Perez de Cuellar was appointed head of a government of "unity and national reconciliation."
