The Work of the UN in Cyprus: Promoting Peace and Development

The United Nations has rarely been given a fair hearing with regard to its work in Cyprus. Despite facing competing demands on its limited resources, challenged by the local parties, and at the mercy of contradictory political directions at the international level, the UN has actually achieved more than is generally realized. This is the first volume to critically appraise all the major areas on the UN's peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peace building activities in Cyprus.
