The World's Most Powerful People

#64 Antonio Guterres

Age: 60



Former Portuguese Prime Minister heads U.N. agency which works to repatriate and assist more than 34 million refugees and displaced people in 110 countries; agency has twice won the Nobel Peace Prize, has ability to provide immediate emergency assistance to hundreds of thousands of people. Completely powerless over most people, most of the time, but hugely powerful to millions of souls in extremis.
