On 24 October, Crisis Group's President and CEO Comfort Ero delivered a speech when receiving The Sir Brian Urquhart Award from United Nations Association, UK (UNA-UK).
The President & Chief Executive Officer of the International Crisis Group, Rob Malley, is stepping down after three years leading the independent conflict-prevention organisation to serve as Special Envoy for Iran for President Joe Biden in the new U.S. administration. Crisis Group has been my home away from home, on-and-off for nearly two decades. I take enormous pride in everything the organisation and my exceptional colleagues have done over the years on behalf of men and women around the globe who are victims of conflict. They have taught me so much, and I will take these lessons with me. I have no doubt that Crisis Group will continue to play an invaluable role in helping to prevent and resolve deadly conflict. I will miss my colleagues dearly and wish them every success”, Malley said.
