During his tenure at the United Nations, Bolton was an outspoken advocate of U.S. efforts to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, to push Syria out of Lebanon and to bring African peacekeepers into shaky Somalia. Along with France's ambassador, he led the Security Council to approve a unanimous resolution to end the summer 2006 Hezbollah war on Israel. In addition, Bolton was also an advocate for human rights, arranging the Security Council's first deliberations on Burma's human rights abuses and engineering the Security Council's approval of 22,500 U.N. peacekeepers in Darfur.
