Former US President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100, US media reported. Known as a champion of human rights and global peace, Carter served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981.
He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts to promote democracy and human rights worldwide. Carter, who had been in hospice care since early 2023, was surrounded by family at the time of his passing.
Carter’s post-presidential years were marked by his extensive humanitarian work through the Carter Center, focusing on conflict resolution, election monitoring, and disease eradication.
