Christopher, Warren

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Christopher, Warren (1925- )

US Democrat politician, secretary of state 1993-96. Trained as a lawyer, he was deputy attorney general under President Jimmy Carter 1977-81 and led negotiations for the release of US hostages in Iran. In 1992 he masterminded the selection of President Bill Clinton's cabinet team; in September 1993 he secured the signing of a historic Israeli-PLO accord in Washington, DC; and in November 1995 he brokered a peace agreement for Bosnia-Herzegovina. Regarded as a skilled negotiator, unrestricted by strong political bias, he retired after President Clinton was re-elected for a second term.

In 1991 he headed an inquiry into a report released by the Los Angeles Police Department, alleging police brutality and racism prior to the Los Angeles Watts riots of 1965.
