Description

Although the quiet diplomacy of the U.N. Secretary-General doesn't often capture the headlines, this documentary goes behind the scenes to show how the nations of the world are rediscovering the capabilities of the united Nations.

The Gulf War between Iran and Iraq, the agreements on Afghanistan, the Cyprus conflict, the question of Namibia and the Falkland/Malvinas war are examples of situations in which United Nations peacemaking and peacekeeping was, and continues to be, involved.
