He was appointed Attorney General of Ireland in the governments of Garret FitzGerald, before becoming European Commissioner for Competition in the first Delors Commission (1985-89). He subsequently became Director General of GATT (now WTO). Peter Sutherland is currently serving as Chairman of BP, of Goldman Sachs International and is the UN Special Representative for Migration. We met him at his house in Dublin, prior to the Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. What made you such a convinced European? From a very early stage, as a university student already, I was a committed European. We could see at first hand in this country the enormous suffering created by extreme nationalism which in turn was a reaction to injustice. Nationalism – often combined with religion, as was the case in Northern Ireland – has often led to conflict throughout history. According to one opinion poll I saw years ago the Irish are the proudest people of all; they have the greatest sense of their own nationality.
