Mohamed Mostafa ElBaradei (Arabic: محمد مصطفى البرادعي, romanized: Muḥammad Muṣṭafá al-Barādaʿī, Egyptian Arabic: [mæˈħæmːæd mosˈtˤɑfɑ (ʔe)lbæˈɾædʕi]; born 17 June 1942) is an Egyptian law scholar and diplomat who served as Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from 1997 to 2009, then as vice president of Egypt on an interim basis from 14 July to 14 August 2013.[1]
As Director General of the IAEA, he and the organization were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 "for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way".[2] At the end of his tenure, he was appointed "Director General Emeritus of the International Atomic Energy Agency". ElBaradei was featured in the Western press due to his views regarding Egyptian politics, particularly the 2011 revolution which ousted President Hosni Mubarak and the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état.
