Without a Gun: Australians' Experiences Monitoring Peace in Bougainville, 1997-2001

Bougainvilleans invited these volunteers and constantly determined the conditions in which they worked. They were required not to act but to bear witness. Month after month they held the ring and provided facilities and services while peace negotiations dragged on to their conclusion in 2001. What is unique is not just the monitors achievements, but the impact on them of working in a multinational force of men and women, soliders and civilians.Wehner, Monica is the author of 'Without a Gun: Australians' Experiences Monitoring Peace in Bougainville, 1997-2001' with ISBN 9781740760133 and ISBN 1740760131.
