The fourth Scretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant, served just over ten years from 1961 to 1971. He was followed in office by Kurt Waldheim and then by Javier Perez de Cuellar, both of who served two five-year terms. In fourth place was the third Secretary-General of the UN, Dag Hammarksjold who served about 8 and one-half years before dying in office, the only Secretary-General to do so, when his plane was shot down over the former Belgian Congo, where he was going in an attempt to negotiate a resolution to that civil war. He is also the only person to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize posthumously (having done lots more to EARN it than recipients of late!)
