ongoing Middle East conflict, and continued its stewardship of troubled territories like Kosovo and East Timor. Human Rights abuses were vigilantly monitored, and armed conflicts -- especially in Africa -- promted an increased commitment from the world community. The UN peacekeeping forces Sierra Leone were substantially bolstered; also a whole new mission was established on the disputed Ethiopia-Eritrea border. YEAR IN REVIEW captures these and other highlights of world-wide work of the United Nations in the year 2000, included increased efforts to halt the spread of AIDS, and the harnessing of computer technology to assist global development. A Place to Stand, 1996, 14 min As citizens of United Nations Member States, our voices do count as we see to reaffirm our common humanity at the dawn of a new millennium. The six segments of this 14minute 52-second video examine the UN's history and achievements in the areas of peacekeeping and global security, human rights, assistance to refugees and displaced persons, sustainable development and environmental protection. The ideals and aims enshrined in the Charter of this 50-year old international organization serve to strengthen our belief that the United Nations gives us a place to stand, a place to act. No Place to Hide, 1995, 50 min Praised as the best idea of the century. Considered as an extravagant muddle. United Nations Peacekeeping is in the news as never before. How did the blue helmets came into being? What is their future? These questions are addressed by British-born writer and diplomat, Sir Brian Urquhart, one of the architects of peacekeeping and head of UN peacekeeping in the 1970s and 80s. This programme not only features rare archival footage but also examines current operations and crises through the voices of peacekeepers, diplomats and journalists involved in them. It presents the history of the UN peacekeeping and analyzes recent operations which have stumbled into the quagmire of civil and ethnic conflicts like those found in Bosnia and Somalia. Urquhart puts forward a provocative idea for improving peacekeeping: the creation of a permanent international rapid reaction volunteer force. Soldiers for Peace, 1998, 27 min Since their inception in 1956, the United Nations peacekeeping forces have been on duty continuously in some of the world's most sensitive trouble spots. During 1988, two new peacekeeping forces were created: one to monitor the Afghanistan accords, and the other, the Iran-Iraq cease-fire. In awarding the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize to these heroic forces, the Nobel Committee paid tribute to "their demanding and hazardous service in the cause of peace". This video shows today's peacekeepers in action and the excitement and logistical challenges in setting up a new force. Shot on location in Fiji, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Iraq, it follows soldiers from their homes in Fiji to their peacekeeping assignments in southern Lebanon. United Nations Peacekeeping: Situation Report, 1987, 27 min Some 10,000 soldiers are currently serving with United Nations peacekeeping forces. What are their tasks? What problems do they face?

has not yet been able to fulfil entirely the mandate entrusted to it by the Security Council. However, by its presence, it maintains a semblance of peace and restricts armed conflict that might otherwise envelop the entire Middle East. The film tells the story of the effects of war on a land and its people. A Day in June: Disengagement in the Gohan, 1975, 27 min. In June 1974, a United Nations peacekeeping force took up positions in the war-torn Golan Heights. Its mandate was to observe that the cease-fire agreements signed in Geneva were adhered to by Israel and Syria. Twelve hundred men made up the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). The terrain of the Golan differs sharply from the sands of Sinai and, because of this, there was another consideration - the return of a civilian population to no man's land. Soldiers in Sinai: A Peacekeeping Story, 1975, 27 min From the creation of the United Nations Emergency Force, the film tells the story of how men were flown to the Sinai desert on short notice to take up positions between two opposing sides, a peacekeeping operation that followed in the wake of the 1973 war in the Middle East. Their mission was to stop the fighting, separate the opponents and provide the pause necessary for diplomacy to make peace. The film shows how troops from many nations, speaking many languages, using different equipment and accustomed to different foods, learn to work together as a unique international peace force.
