"Looking Out from and Back to New York: The Personal Perspective of
a Political Affairs Officer in United Nations Peacekeeping."
Mr. Grene discussed, "My own
experience of the dynamics of peacekeeping
at the United Nations Headquarters as as a desk officer in the Department of
Peacekeeping Operations,
Secretary of the General Assembly's Special Committee on Peacekeeping
Operations and officer in the Policy and Analysis Unit." He also reviewed
this in the light of his current position in the field in Port-au-Prince,
as well as during a brief stint during the start-up phase of the operation
in Ethiopia-Eritrea.
