Adolf Ogi (Swiss Standard German: [ˈaːdɔlf ˈoːɡi]; born 18 July 1942) is a Swiss politician who most recently served as Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General on Sport for Development and Peace from 2001 to 2008. He previously served as member of the Federal Council (Switzerland) for the Swiss People's Party from 1987 to 2000.[1][2] He held the Presidency of the Swiss Confederation twice in 1993 and 2000.
Between 1979 and 1987, Ogi represented the Canton of Bern in the National Council (Switzerland).[3] He was among the rare examples of politicians in the Swiss parliament not having received a traditional tertiary education.[4] Ogi is also known for his significant achievements in the Swiss Olympic Association serving as its president from 2001 to 2008. After leaving federal office he has been an advocate for peace building on a global scale.
