The library honours 243 staff members who have died in the service of the world body, including those killed together with Mr. Vieira de Mello in the attack on the UN’s Baghdad headquarters on 19 August, 2003.’

Good to hear
A friend of mine worked with Sergio on various UN projects. He had a very high opinion of him. This sounds like a good tribute.
