of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter' J+ h+ h0 P. a3 u/ [3 D+ d* S" }7 L
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the

Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the

process, and put responsibility for the safety of the Peacekeepers in the: G. N. F3 }5 t
hands of the militants and the people, rather than the other way around.
* [7 m) ^! q* o5 t; L# z6 KAlso, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,; o$ O5 ?" T2 Y4 P$ h8 t$ W6 ]
