| Description: |
An expression of the substantial involvement of UN volunteers in UN peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, the aim of this book is to convey a better understanding of the work of volunteers in conflict situations. It is a collection of first-hand accounts of the volunteers themselves. |
| Synopsis: |
This book brings together the personal experiences of individual UN volunteer specialists who served in a wide range of recent missions. Thomas G. Weiss and Larry Minear, co-directors of the Humanitarianism and War Project, place these first-hand accounts in a broader historical and institutional context and offer some reflections on the UN volunteer experience for the international community as a whole. |
