Campaign: A United Nations Memoir

Nothing in these writings should be taken as a deliberate derogation of the dignity of United Nations member states, or the respect for their citizens mentioned in these pages. As years go by, activities recorded here become worth remembering. United Nations experience is like being thrown into a cauldron of mass culture, not of one nation, but of the globe. When embroiled in daily skirmishes with delegates from all over the world, the wickedness of yesteryear is pushed to the back of one's subconscious. The endless interaction with United Nations individuals from all over the world has a cathartic and sobering effect. You finally accept to work with representatives from countries whose ancestors enslaved, humiliated, tortured and tormented your ancestors.
