The "Four Freedoms" was an expression coined by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a speech to the United States Congress in 1941. Roosevelt Institute Co-Chairman Ambassador William J. vanden Heuvel presented the award to Mrs. Nane Annan on the Secretary-General's behalf following a ceremony at the Abbey of Middelburg, The Netherlands — the ancestral home of the Roosevelt family. Below are links to past issues of the UN Chronicle and its online edition that are particularly relevant to the Four Freedoms.
