Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, a tireless advocate for global health and human rights, has died, it was announced on Sunday. He was 100 years old.
A Georgia Democrat, Carter was the longest-lived president in US history. He only served one term in the White House and was soundly beaten by Ronald Reagan in 1980. But Carter spent the decades afterward focused on international relations and human rights, efforts that won him the Nobel peace prize in 2002.
