It is with sadness that we are informing you of the passing away of Mr. Knut Hammarsköld on January 3, 2012 in Stockholm. Most of us have known Knut Hammarsjköld when he was our Director General from
1966 to 1984. He was a real gentleman and no doubt, we will keep him in our memories as a smart person.
