The United Nations and El Salvador, 1990-1995

The United Nations and El Salvador, 1990-1995 chronicles one of the most comprehensive operations in the history of the United Nations - the United Nations Observer Mission in El Salvador (ONUSAL). The United Nations played a central role in the Salvadorian peace process, combining peacemaking, peace-keeping and, especially, post-conflict peace-building. Now, for the first time, the texts of more than 1000 key United Nations documents relating to the mission have been brought together in a single volume. Complementing the documents are an introduction by Secretary-General Boutros Boutros Ghali and a detailed chronology. The documents include: 1) Resolutions of the General Assembly and of the Security Council; 2) Reports of United Nations Secretaries-General; 3) the landmark report of the Commission on the Truth, "From Madness to Hope: the 12-Year War in El Salvador"; 4) Reports of the ONUSAL Human Rights Division; 5) the historic Peace Agreement between the Government of El Salvador and the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) signed at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City in 1992.
