232 OBITUARIES In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Warren attended Yale University to study English Literature, in which he excelled, graduating magna cum laude (highest honours) and winning the prestigious Fulbright scholarship to study at Cambridge, where he completed a Master’s degree in History.Throughout his years at university,Warren also was very active in sports.Yale rated him one of their top squash players, and the game remained a passionate pastime for him throughout his life. In 1961, Warren began what would become a distinguished career in the US Department of State, eventually serving as the USA’s last Ambassador to the former nation ofYugoslavia. He also served at the embassies in Moscow, Paris and Caracas, and as the United States Ambassador to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which was held in Vienna. Throughout his service, Warren believed in an active US strength responsibly accomplishing good causes, a position highly influenced by the philosophies of Dean Acheson and Cold War policies. His penchant for action and fervent commitment to promoting human rights, however, made Warren increasingly ill at ease with the Clinton administration’s distrust of American power, as well as the waxing Republican readiness to use international power unilaterally. On the one hand, Warren was horrified by American inaction during the early years of Balkan disintegration, and recalled his Belgrade years viscerally in his book Origins of a Catastrophe. In that book he bemoans that “Western diplomacy was reduced to a kind of cynical theatre, a pretence of useful activity, a way of disguising a lack of will. Diplomacy without force became an unloaded weapon, impotent and ridiculous.”Yet, on the other hand, the diplomatic action for which Warren strived was meant always to improve the enjoyment of rights throughout the world. Arthur Hartman, the former US Ambassador to France and the Soviet Union with whom Warren served, recalled him as “the fellow who always brought us back to the human element of our jobs”. Warren’s diplomatic marriage of action and compassion led to mounting frustration while serving as the US envoy to Yugoslavia, a post that he held
from 1989 until George H Bush recalled him in 1992 in protest against escalating violence. After his recall, Warren became the director of the State Department’s Refugee Bureau, a post from which he resigned in 1994 after 33 years of diplomatic service in his own protest against US non-intervention to protect Bosnian Muslims. After leaving the US Department of State in 1994, Warren taught at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington until 1996, and then at Columbia University as Professor of International Diplomacy until 2000. During these years, he wrote two award-winning books.The first was his analysis and memoir ofYugoslavian fractionalisation and the international response, Origins of a Catastrophe. His other award-winner, First Great Triumph: How Five Americans Made Their Country a World Power, chronicled the history of American diplomacy during the Spanish-American War. Throughout his career, Warren also held posts in Partners for Democratic Change, the American Academy of Diplomacy, the Carnegie Council of Ethics and International Affairs and Human Rights Watch. For his work in Jewish emigration, the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews celebrated his effort by giving him the Shcharansky Award. General Colin Powell, US Secretary of State at the time of Warren’s death, remembered him as one “among our finest career ambassadors” and “an eloquent defender of human rights and refugees”, and mourned his passing as “a great loss to American diplomacy and to our State Department family”. Personal friends recall him as a generous host with his wife Teeny in their beautiful home in Glen Falls, Virginia, which overlooked the Potomac River. In addition to his squash playing, Warren was also fond of tennis and flyfishing, and long walks around his summer cottage in Glandore Harbour, on the Southwest Irish coast. Warren is survived by his wife Teeny (née Corinne Alsop Chubb); his two daughters, Corinne who lives in Massachusetts, Lily in London; and his son Tim in Washington, DC. 233 OBITUARIES
