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.
