The United Nations and the Independence of Eritea.

Twelfth Volume in 'Blue Books' Series

The 1993 referendum in Eritrea, which marked the end of one of Africa's longest wars and brought about a peaceful transition to democracy, was a significant achievement for the United Nations. The Organization played a critical role not only in the electoral process which gave the Eritreans the right to self-determination, but in a continuing assistance programme, which is helping to move the country towards long-term stability and economic growth. The United Nations operation in Eritrea is described in detail in the latest volume of the Blue Books series, The United Nations and the Independence of Eritrea, published by the Department of Public Information.
