QUÉ SIGNIFICA U THANT EN INGLÉS

U Thant

U Thant

U Thant era un diplomático birmano y el tercer Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas desde 1961 hasta 1971. Nativo de Pantanaw, Thant fue educado en la Escuela Secundaria Nacional y en la Universidad de Rangún. En los días de clima político tensa en Birmania, él sostuvo opiniones moderadas que se colocaban entre nacionalistas fervientes y loyalists británicos. Fue amigo íntimo del primer primer ministro de Birmania, U Nu, y desempeñó varios cargos en el gabinete de Nu de 1948 a 1961. Thant tenía una actitud tranquila y despreocupada que ganó el respeto de sus colegas. Fue nombrado Secretario General en 1961 cuando su predecesor, Dag Hammarskjöld murió en un accidente aéreo. En su primer mandato, Thant facilitó las negociaciones entre el presidente estadounidense John F. Kennedy y el primer ministro soviético Nikita Khrushchev durante la crisis de los misiles cubanos, evitando así estrechamente la posibilidad de una catástrofe global. En diciembre de 1962, Thant ordenó la Operación Grand Slam que puso fin a la insurgencia secesionista en el Congo. Fue nombrado nuevo Secretario General el 2 de diciembre de 1966 por unanimidad del Consejo de Seguridad. En su segundo mandato, Thant era bien conocido por criticar públicamente la conducta estadounidense en la Guerra de Vietnam.

U Thant was a Burmese diplomat and the third Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1961 to 1971. A native of Pantanaw, Thant was educated at the National High School and at the Rangoon University. In the days of tense political climate in Burma, he held moderate views positioning himself between fervent nationalists and British loyalists. He was a close friend of Burma's first Prime Minister U Nu and served various positions in Nu's cabinet from 1948 to 1961. Thant had a calm and unassuming demeanor which won his colleagues' respect. He was appointed as Secretary-General in 1961 when his predecessor, Dag Hammarskjöld died in an air crash. In his first term, Thant facilitated negotiations between U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis, thereby narrowly averting the possibility of a global catastrophe. In December 1962, Thant ordered the Operation Grand Slam which ended secessionist insurgency in Congo. He was reappointed as Secretary-General on 2nd December 1966 by a unanimous vote of the Security Council. In his second term, Thant was well-known for publicly criticizing American conduct in the Vietnam War.
