Description

Backpacks Full of Hope: The UN Mission in Haiti describes the experience of a Chilean general as Deputy Force Commander of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) right through the particularly turbulent year September 2005 to September 2006. It details the realities of commanding more than 7,000 men from eleven countries even as working to fulfill the mandate of the United Nations in Haiti―to make sure a safe and stable environment, to enhance the transitional government in a democratic political process, and to promote and give protection to the human rights of the Haitian people.

In spite of the enormous challenges of a complex scenario that included local violence and extreme poverty, the UN command succeeded in its mission, stabilizing the local situation and paving the way in which for Haiti to hold a presidential election.

In the beginning published as Mision en Haiti, con la mochila cargada de esperanzas, this work provides a new audience with insight at the peace operation and sheds light at the long-term endeavour of civilians, military, and local and international agencies to enhance Haiti’s path to prosperity.
