France honors the memory of Jimmy Carter, the former president of the United States, a statesman and an ardent defender of human rights.
Jimmy Carter shaped history through his tireless efforts on behalf of peace, human rights and international dialogue. As the craftsman of the Camp David accords, he played a decisive role in the signing of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, illustrating his deep commitment to diplomacy as a tool for conflict resolution.
Awarded the Nobel Peace in 2002, Jimmy Carter maintained an exemplary lifelong commitment to a more just world. Through the Carter Center, which he founded with his wife, Rosalynn, he worked relentlessly to promote development, improve access to healthcare and resolve conflicts around the world. His dedication inspired entire generations.
France offers its heartfelt condolences to his family and the American people.
