See how Sweden compares →

The Swedish diplomat who shaped the UN’s role in mediating conflicts and launched its first peacekeeping force, and died in a plane crash in Africa while seeking a ceasefire.

Dag Hammarskjöld sits in the near the center part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and centered on liberty and authority. The clearest positions are strongly institutional on institutions, strongly globalist on nation and strongly peace-first on war and peace. The profile is close to the middle on liberty and authority and environment.
