TITLE: The
United Nations Authority in Cambodia (Occasional Paper 15)
|
|
|
ABSTRACT |
| Established in early 1992, the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) was without precedent in the comprehensiveness of its terms of reference. The 22,000-person entity assumed interim responsibility for overseeing the embryonic Cambodian government machinery in foreign affairs, public security, national defense, finance, and information. UNTAC's seven components involved civil administration, human rights, elections, military, police, repatriation, and rehabilitation. | |
|
The study gives the UN uneven marks for performance in the various sectors. Repatriation activities were largely successful while rehabilitation activities less so, although neither sector benefited from the synergies envisioned with other activities. The research was conducted by a three-person team in Cambodia in November 1992, updated by a visit by the author in May 1993. The views of more than 150 individuals were solicited in Cambodia, in national capitals, and at UN and aid agency headquarters in New York and Geneva.
