  Nubar Pasha - LoveToKnow 1911
NUBAR PASHA (1825-1899), Egyptian statesman, was born at Smyrna in January 1825, the son of an Armenian merchant named Moghreditch, who had married a relative of Boghos Bey, an influential minister of Mehemet Ali.
Abbas Pasha, who succeeded Ibrahim in 1848, maintained Nubar in the same capacity, and sent him in 1850 to London as his representative to resist the pretensions of the sultan, who was seeking to evade the conditions of the treaty under which Egypt was secured to the family of Mehemet Ali.
Nubar's bold design, for which alone he deserves the credit, was to induce these seventeen powers to consent to abandon their jurisdiction in civil actions, to substitute mixed International Courts and a uniform code binding on all.

As an honorary title, "Pasha" in one of its various ranks is equivalent to the british title of "Lord".
Three grades of Pasha existed, distinguished by the number of yak- or horse-tails (three, two and one respectively; a symbol of Turco-Mongol tradition) or peacock tails, which the bearers were entitled to display on their standard as a symbol of military authority when on campaign.

Nubar worked for the reform of the Egyptian legal system and was responsible for the introduction of the mixed courts in 1876 -- one of the reasons for his lack of popularity with the Egyptian intelligentsia.
Nubar, however, did not win all his battles against the British and when Khedive Tawfiq realised that he was no longer able to protect him against the occupying forces, he dismissed him.
Nubar formed a ministry in 1894 for the new khedive, Abbas II, but he was retired in favour of Fahmi Pasha after a year.

Ismail sought this alteration mainly because he disliked his uncle, Halim Pasha, who was his heir-presumptive, and he is supposed to have imagined that he would be able to select whichever of his sons he pleased for his successor.
He was given a palace near Cairo to live in, and for twelve years he passed an uneventful life, farming, and establishing a reputation for good sense and fair dealing with his fellah tenants.
He held this office only for a few months; but this was long enough to show that, if he was unambitious and not particularly intelligent or energetic, he had the wisdom to refrain from taking a part in the intrigues which then formed the chief part of political life in Egypt.

According to Berdj Terzian, AGBU Egypt president, the decisive factor was the personality of the founder, Boghos Nubar: "Boghos Nubar's father, the celebrated Nubar Pasha, served as prime minister of Egypt for three terms and for a period was also regent.
The positive response, and the incumbent growth of the union, amazed even Boghos Nubar himself." In its first few years the AGBU was dedicated to developing organisational and logistical machinery.
Six years later Boghos Nubar was already old and ill enough to resign; immediately he was named honourary president for life.
