BREAKING Madeleine Albright, first female U.S. secretary of state, dies at 84
Her death was confirmed in an email to staff of the Albright Stonebridge Group, a global strategy firm founded by Albright.
Albright was a central figure in President Bill Clinton's administration, first serving as US ambassador to the United Nations before becoming the nation's top diplomat in his second term. She championed the expansion of NATO, pushed for the alliance to intervene in the Balkans to stop genocide and ethnic cleansing, sought to reduce the spread of nuclear weapons, and championed human rights and democracy across the globe.
She was a face of US foreign policy in the decade between the end of the Cold War and the War on Terror triggered by the September 11, 2001 attacks, an era heralded by President George H.W. Bush as a"new world order.
She saw the US as the"indispensable nation" when it came to using diplomacy backed by the use of force to defend democratic values around the world. "We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future, and we see the danger here to all of us," she told NBC in 1998."I know that the American men and women in uniform are always prepared to sacrifice for freedom, democracy and the American way of life."
