Vorlage:EngvarB Vorlage:Use dmy dates Jamsheed Marker, Hilal-e-Imtiaz (24 November 1922 – 21 June 2018), was a Pakistani diplomat. He was notable for his tenure as Ambassador to the United States serving from 17 September 1986 to 30 June 1989 during the administrations of Prime Ministers Muhammad Khan Junejo and Benazir Bhutto. He helped negotiate the Soviet military withdrawal from Afghanistan.[1]

From 1995 through 2005, Marker taught a course in "Diplomacy in International Relations" at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida.

In 2003, Marker received the Hilal-i-Imtiaz Award (Crescent of Excellence) by the President Pervez Musharraf.[2]

Early life

Marker was from a Parsi family of Pakistan.[3] He obtained his early education from The Doon School,[4][5][6] and from Forman Christian College University, Lahore.[2] In early days at school level in Dehradun located in India, Marker played cricket there and later at F.C. College Lahore.[2]

Career

Cricket commentator

Marker was a radio cricket match commentator.[2][7] His first broadcast was from the Bagh-e-Jinnah, also known as Lawrence Garden, in Lahore when India visited Pakistan on their first cricket tour in 1954.[8] He teamed up with cricket commentator Omar Kureishi for the first time as a Radio Pakistan cricket commentator.[9]

Diplomat

He worked in his family's shipping business until April 1965, when he was appointed Pakistan's High Commissioner to Ghana, with concurrent accreditation to Guinea and Mali.[10] He afterward represented Pakistan in Romania, the Soviet Union for three years, Canada, East Germany, Japan, the United Nations Office at Geneva, West Germany, France, the United States and finally the United Nations in New York City.[2][10] Marker served as Ambassador of Pakistan continually for thirty years, in ten different capitals, and nine further concurrent accreditations.[11]

He was appointed Ambassador to the United States in 1986 and helped negotiate the Soviet military withdrawal from Afghanistan.[1] In 1999 he served as United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Special Representative to East Timor.[12] Annan is reported to have hailed Marker's "empathy for both sides in the talks".[13] The Portuguese foreign minister praised Marker's "sophisticated and calm approach" while the Indonesian foreign minister said Marker's "diplomatic skills smoothed the way whenever there was a 'snag in the negotiations'".[13]

The British journalist Richard Lloyd Parry, in his book In the Time of Madness,[14] recalls Marker's words of praise for the Indonesian police and the "superb leadership" of their commander Timbul Silaien after the referendum on independence for East Timor and its bloody preamble. Within days, these same Indonesian security forces were engaged in the deportation and, in some cases, the killing of East Timorese.[14]
