On September 21, 2011, the Atlantic Council hosted its Second Annual Global Citizen Awards Dinner in New York. As last year, it brought together leaders from the United States, Europe and the world -- including senior government officials, ambassadors, chief executives of some of the world's most influential global companies and media leaders. A second award was presented to Senator John Kerry, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the United States Senate and one of America's leading statesmen and foremost thinkers on foreign policy. He is a long-standing advocate of constructive US international leadership and engagement who has played a pivotal role in normalizing relations with Vietnam, served as a trusted US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, advanced the Middle East peace process, and shaped the debate on Libya by calling for international intervention.
