Film Screening: United Nations: Last Station Before Hell

December 3, 2015
3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. EST
Location: Intercultural Center (ICC) ICC Auditorium

In fall 2015, the United Nations celebrates its seventieth anniversary. The original mission of the United Nations was "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" by maintaining peace and security. Members of the UN devised the novel concept of "soldiers for peace," but can peace be enforced militarily? Furthermore, what does the UN do to keep the peace? In a world that is so different from the one that the UN faced after World War Two, how does the UN engage in peacekeeping and peace enforcement?

United Nations: Last Station Before Hell explores these challenging questions through field investigations and interviews with key decision-makers in UN peacekeeping. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film's director Pierre-Olivier Francois, moderated by Lise Morjé Howard.

This event is co-sponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs, the Department of Government, and the Mortara Center for International Studies.
