Dag Hammarskjold, the UN’s second Secretary-General said- "The United Nations was not created to take humanity to heaven, but to save it from hell.”
Dag Hammarskjöld, a Swedish economist and lawyer, served as UN Secretary-General from 1953 to 1961. He played a vital role in resolving the Suez Canal dispute, supporting African decolonization, and posthumously received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1961 for his efforts to address the Congo crisis. However, his involvement in Africa faced criticism from the Soviet Union and France.
