Tariq al-Hashimi

While Tariq al-Hashimi has not amassed traditional awards, his political career is notable for its endurance and significance. As Vice President of Iraq from 2006 to 2012, he was a key figure in the country's post-invasion power-sharing government. His role as the highest-ranking Sunni Arab in that government made him a central player in efforts to maintain stability. Even after his fall from power, he has remained a vocal commentator on Iraqi affairs, continuing to shape public discourse from exile.
