The Story of UNMIL

Peacekeepers sit on the back of a truck, travelling down a dirt road

The United Nations Mission in Liberia, established in 2003, was critical to restoring peace and security and re-establishing the democratic institutions of governance in the country, following two brutal civil wars that had destroyed Liberian lives and dreams.

Considered as one of the most successful of UN peacekeeping missions, UNMIL ended its mandate on 30 March 2018.

This book is an in-depth look at the multi-faceted interactions that the Mission leadership and both uniformed and civilian members of the Mission conducted with Liberian leaders, government officials, political parties, civil society organizations, media, military and police, and ordinary Liberians to build the foundations of a sustainable peace.
