Chanting "Justice for Bosnia," about 30 activists protested against the Harvard Foundation's award to United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali at Leverett House yesterday.
Boutros-Ghali will receive a citation from the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations for his contributions to world peace and international relations.
One student leader agreed that, in light of the ongoing problems in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Boutros-Ghali's citation is undeserved.
"I don't think Boutros Boutros-Ghali's record of peacekeeping is stellar," said Mohammed N. Khan '95, president of the Harvard Islamic Society.
Supporters of the protest said they do not expect to sway Boutros-Ghali's opinions on Bosnia but hope that community awareness of the problem will increase.
