Martti Ahtisaari receives his Nobel Peace Prize in 2008 at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway. Ahtisaari, who also served as president of Finland, has died. He was 86.HELSINKI — Martti Ahtisaari, the former president of Finland and global peace broker who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008 for his work to resolve international conflicts, died Monday. He was 86.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called Ahtisaari “a hero of peace, security and conflict prevention,” adding that “I admired his peace work in the Western Balkans.” When the Norwegian Nobel Peace Committee picked Ahtisaari in October 2008, it cited him “for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts.”
The Namibian government was grateful for Ahtisaari’s work and later made him an honorary citizen of the country. Namibian President Hage Geingob said on X that Ahtisaari was “a friend of the Namibian liberation struggle and a leading peacemaker who played through the United Nations a pivotal role in midwifing the birth of a new Namibia.”
