World leaders representing some of the United States' closest allies as well as nations friendly to the country memorialized former President Jimmy Carter as a peacemaker and humanitarian for the ages.
Carter, who was elected in 1976 and served one term, died Sunday at 100.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer paid tribute to Carter's spirit of helping others, particularly his country, in helming the historic Camp David Accords, the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, during his presidency and, afterward, promoting democracy and low-cost housing.
"His presidency will be remembered for the historic Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, and it was that lifelong dedication to peace that saw him receive the Nobel Peace prize," Starmer said in a statement late Sunday.
Starmer noted that though Carter's presidential legacy is clouded by the Iran hostage crisis, which began in late 1979, he made bold and lasting moves long after he left the White House.
