of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter

they come unarmed. Amongst the Peacekeepers was young Australian songwriter
Iain Campbell Smith, whose music and radio program became a legend on the
island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the

Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,
