With the thawing of the Cold War it seemed that at last the UN could concentrate on the real issues affecting the world: preventing and resolving conflict, and fighting poverty, disease, injustice and crime. At first there were spectacular successes - the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, the Iran-Iraq ceasefire, the liberation of Kuwait, and peace settlements in Namibia, Angola, El Salvador, Cambodia and Mozambique. The UN, it seemed, could do no wrong. But by 1993 the bubble had burst, and the UN's credibility had been seriously undermined by its failure to halt the bloodshed in Angola, Bosnia and Somalia. Meantime, spending on peacekeeping had risen more than tenfold, from $260 million to $2.7 billion. In 1993 an exhausted Goulding was transferred by Secretary Boutros-Ghali to head the UN's political department." "In this account of seven years of peacekeeping, Marrack Goulding gives us a unique insider's view of what went wrong and also of what the UN achieved during this critical period, of UN peacekeeping activities, and also to work behind the scences with two very different Secretaries-General, Javier Perez de Cuellar and Boutros Boutros-Ghali. In this thought-provoking account of an organization in crisis he pulls no punches, but readily admits that 'many of the mistakes were my mistakes - I was as intoxicated as everyone else.'"--Jacket.10aGoulding, Marrack.20aUnited NationsxOfficials and employeesvBiography.26aNations UniesxForces de maintien de la paix. 7aGeschichte 1986-19922swd 7aEmployees2fast 7aPeacekeeping forces2fast 7aBiographies2fast  ihas work:aPeacemonger (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCY8DJt8f7Dfmjx6HPfMFJC4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork  2lcccBKkJZ6374mG73n0  hNO HOLDINGS IN GHUCC - 134 OTHER HOLDINGS  c2852d2852  00102lcc40708REFaGAFCbGAFCcGENd2024-12-10l0oJZ6374 G73p2024-4356r2024-12-10 07:33:53tc.1w2024-12-10yBK
