UNITED NATIONS CAREER RECORDS PROJECT

REPORT OF RESULTS OF STAGE I

(1989 - 92)

Richard Symonds

Introduction 1. Stage I of the UN Careers Records Project (UNCRP) was carried out between 1989 and 1992 under the auspices of Mr Richard Symonds, and St. Antony’s College, Oxford, for which a Report of the First Stage was prepared by Mr Symonds.This blue-covered report of 34 pages, summarized contributions of about 330 former UN staff, or those who had been associated with UN organisations. This Report was made up of three Parts:

• Part I Organisation of the project, describes its background, objectives, method of work, relations with institutions, and gives some reflections on a further stage, the role of the Bodleian Library, and Acknowledgements (pages 3-6);

• Part II The Results of the Project¸ describes the nature of contributions made, access to materials and summarises responses to the main questions given in the questionnaire relating to the number of agencies represented, nationality of correspondents, the professions of parents, level of education of respondents, profession of spouses, previous employment of respondents, method of first entry to UN agencies, reasons for leaving and consultancies carried out after leaving. It then summarises (pages 6 – 26) salient features of the responses of each of the respondents, grouped by UN agency.

• Part III Some Reflections, provides two and a half pages (pages 26- 29) of observations by the author of various conclusions which can be drawn from the questionnaires and Part II above.

2. Subsequently, in 1995, the Bodleian was able to obtain funds for the engagement of an archivist specialist, Mr Martin Jennings for the purpose of analyzing, classifying and cataloguing contributions made by respondents to the UNCRP. The result was the issuing of a publication “Catalogue of the papers of the United Nations Career Records Project1 Bodleian Library, University of Oxford” on the Bodleian website. In order to facilitate reference by hard copy users, the Stage II project reproduced this catalogue as a Word document, with a full index.

3. It was also noted that the original Stage I report did not appear to have an index of contributors, particularly of the 330 people who submitted questionnaires. Stage II thus prepared a List of contributors to Stage I (Bill Jackson, March 2008), in the form of an Excel table of all these contributors, while summarizing salient features, including name, birth/death years, nationality, UN agencies served in, years served, positions held, status /location of contributions to UNCRP in the Bodleian Library, completion of Part I and keywords and subject areas for researchers.. 4. The above three documents constitute the main outputs relating to the Questionnaires completed under Stage 1.

THE UNITED NATIONS CAREER RECORDS PROJECT PART I THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PROJECT The Background to the Project A noticeable development since the end of the Second World War has been the great expansion of the international civil service, both in numbers and function, after the modest scale of activities of the League of Nations system. Rather little research has been done about the kind of people who worked in the service of U.N. agencies and how, retrospectively, they viewed their careers. Several projects have been concerned with the careers of eminent people in the League of Nations and United Nations systems. Thus, the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace some years ago interviewed senior survivors of the League of Nations. The United Nations, UNICEF and the World Bank have interviewed a few of their senior members but the records are not available. The Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale has interviewed people who were concerned with particular political episodes in U.N. history. So far as is known, however, there has been no systematic attempt to obtain, record and analyse the recollections of former officials of the United Nations system at all levels. Yet to future researchers such information is likely to be of considerable value, particularly in relation to the first generation of those who served the U.N. agencies and shaped their traditions in the formative phase after 1945. Aspects which are likely to be of interest include not only their career experience and their impressions of the agencies for which they worked, but also their motivation and their social and educational background. British nationals have had an important role both in the League of Nations and United Nations systems, and more experts were recruited by U.N. agencies in the 1950s and 1960s from Britain than from any other country. It was therefore natural that an initiative for a U.N. Career Records Project should come from the British Association of Former U.N. Civil Servants (BAFUNCS) which had a membership of about 800 former officials of U.N. agencies and felt that it would be a sad loss if the recollections of those who had served the U.N. system in its formative stage should go unrecorded. Although BAFUNCS took a decision to this effect at its annual reunion in 1988, it did not have the resources to undertake such a project itself. The University of Oxford had a long history of co-operation with the League of Nations and with the United Nations, of which the Bodleian Library is a depository. It also had been host to the Colonial Records Project which to some extent could serve as a model for the U.N. project. St. Antony’s College, Oxford, a graduate college with a strong interest in international affairs, agreed to provide an office and administrative services for a U.N. Career Records Project which was funded for a three-year period by the Ford Foundation of New York and the Rhodes Trust of Oxford. The project was launched in September 1989. Richard Symonds, who had served for 25 years with U.N. and UNDP and was a Senior Member of St. Antony’s College, became its Honorary Director. Its Secretary, Diana Hartnell, had also served for many years with U.N. agencies. The project was guided by an Advisory Committee on which representatives of BAFUNCS, St. Antony’s College and the Bodleian Library served, together with several members in an individual capacity. Its Chairman was Professor Adam Roberts, Montague Burton Professor of International Relations in the University of Oxford. The Committee’s membership is shown in Appendix 1.

14

Objectives of the Project The Advisory Committee approved a Statement of Objectives, whose main points were as follows:

(a) The main objective of the project is to acquire, record and maintain memoirs, recollections and other written or illustrated materials of U.K. nationals, whether living in Britain or abroad, or of people of other nationalities and its Specialized Agencies. This includes people who worked in Secretariats at Headquarters; in regional or country level offices; and on mission as officials, experts or military observers.

(b) In addition, the project receives materials from U.K. nationals who served as Permanent Representatives, government representatives at general conferences, and on governing bodies of U.N. agencies. In some cases, the same people served at different times as government representatives and as international officials. Another category whose materials may be collected on a selective basis is that of British nationals who served with nongovernmental organizations accredited to U.N. agencies.

(c) The project occasionally accepts materials from nationals of other countries who do not live in Britain.

(d) In all cases, the project exercises discretion as to what materials it agrees to receive and maintain. It acts in full consultation with donors.

(e) The project seeks to complement, rather than duplicate, materials which are in official U.N. records and in the archives of U.N. agencies; U.N. official records and archives often, by their nature, omit important aspects of U.N. activities and decision-making processes.

Method of Work

The project commenced by sending out a circular letter to the 800 members of BAFUNCS asking them to complete a questionnaire and to send contributions regarding their experience in whatever form they wished. Subsequently, further address lists were used which were obtained from associations of former staff members of ILO, FAO, UNESCO and the World Bank, as well as those of the Association of Former United Nations Civil Servants (AFICS) in New York and Geneva. Contributions were also invited through notes placed in various journals, and a number of former U.N. agency officials were traced through private contacts. Discussion with government departments led to contacts with a number of retired officials who had represented the United Kingdom at U.N. agencies.

Those respondents who were former officials of U.N. agencies were asked to complete a questionnaire (Appendix 2). This was intended both for statistical purposes and to provide biographical information which could be attached to individual contributions. All respondents were invited to contribute their recollections in whatever form they considered appropriate. These are contained in Appendix 3.

Relations with other Institutions

It had been the hope of those who initiated the project that similar activities might be organized independently in other countries and that this might lead to collaboration between national projects. There has been correspondence and discussion of such possibilities with institutions and individuals in U.S.A., France, the Netherlands, and the Nordic countries. A project was set up early in 1992 in

15

Copenhagen by the Nordic Association of Former International Civil Servants (NAFICS). In the U.S.A., the project has co-operated with the Yale Institution for Policy Studies which is interviewing people concerned with particular episodes of U.N. history. It has also corresponded with U.N.A. of the U.S.A. regarding their proposed “Video Oral History” of the U.N.

Papers on the project have been prepared for circulation to the World Federation of U.N.A., the Section of Archivists of International Organizations of the International Council of Archives, the Academic Council on the U.N. System (U.S.A.) and the European International Studies Association. A meeting of the Federation of Association of Former International Civil Servants (FAFICS) has been addressed by the Hon. Director.

A Further Stage

It will be sent from Part II that the project has to a considerable extent achieved its aims. At the end of September 1992, the office at St. Antony’s College will be closed; the responsibilities of the Hon. Director and Secretary will cease; and the materials will be transferred to the Department of Western Manuscripts of the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The publicity which the project has received is leading to interest on the part of scholars and researchers on access to the materials. Indeed, the transcripts of interviews with Sir Robert Jackson have already been made available to his authorized biographer. It is therefore urgent for the project’s papers to be catalogued. A further grant from the Ford Foundation has been made to the Bodleian Library to finance a part-time cataloguer at the Bodleian Library for a two-year period. During this period, the collection will be kept open for further contributions and the Advisory Committee will remain in being. BAFUNCS will keep its new members informed of the project and its members may occasionally be able to undertake interviews. The Bodleian Library will be responsible for all further activities from 1 October 1992. A final report on the use of funds in the first stage of the project will be prepared after that date.

The Bodleian Library

The Bodleian Library, named after its founder, the Elizabethan diplomat and scholar, Sir Thomas Bodley, is the principal library of Oxford University and one of Britain’s four copyright libraries. The Department of Western Manuscripts holds one of the country’s largest collections of modern political papers. The holdings are drawn from the private papers of politicians, public servants, journalists and others active in public life during the last 150 years. The largest single grouping of material relating to the U.N. is located in the papers of the Oxford scholar and internationalist, Gilbert Murray (1866-1957). Like many of his contemporaries, Murray’s involvement with the U.N. grew out of his earlier activities in the League of Nations and the League of Nations Union. The papers of the former journalist and international civil servant, William Clark (1916-85) are another major source, particularly for Robert McNamara’s Presidency of the World Bank. Smaller amounts of material can be found in nearly a dozen more collections including the papers of Prime Minister, Clement Attlee (1883-1965) and the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL). The topics covered in these collections include the 1945 San Francisco conference, UNESCO, the United Nations Association, and the U.N. Third Special Conference on Disarmament in 1988.

In its role as a U.N. Depository Library the Bodleian receives a copy of virtually every U.N. publication intended for general circulation ranging from the records of the General Assembly to papers published by bodies in, or associated with, the U.N., including UNESCO and the ILO. Independent publications by Specialized Agencies, such as UNICEF, are purchased to complement the official holdings. The material is available in the Official Papers Section.

Acknowledgements

At the conclusion of the first stage, warm thanks may be expressed to the Ford Foundation for the grant of £20,214 and to the Rhodes Trust for a grant of £5,500; to St. Antony’s College for administering the project and providing a base for the project; to the Bodleian Library for professional guidance; and to BAFUNCS for publicizing the project, and to those of its members who conducted interviews. Oxford University has proved a very suitable home for the project, not only because of its various associations with the League of Nations and United Nations. The project has received valuable collaboration from the Rhodes House Library whose colonial records project holds the papers of many colonial officials who subsequently had careers with U.N. It has also been able to co-operate with the Refugees Study Project at Queen Elizabeth House. The project also wishes to thank officials of the United Nations and its Specialized Agencies, as well as officials of the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Overseas Development Administration and Department of Health for their advice and help. PART II THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT The Nature of the Contributions

In addition to the questionnaire which was sent to former officials of U.N. agencies, all respondents were invited to contribute their recollections in whatever form they considered appropriate. The contributions varied in length from memoirs and autobiographies of several hundred pages, to letters of only a few pages. They have mostly been of the following kinds:

(a) Accounts of careers of former U.N. agency officials, prepared specially for the project, usually of about 5-20 pages. Some deal with careers at Headquarters, some with careers in the field, often as technical assistance experts; some deal with both. Some cover whole careers, even going back to the League of Nations period; others describe particular episodes or particular aspects.

(b) Copies of autobiographies and memoirs, originally written with the prospect of publication, or for private circulation.

(c) Collections of diaries, reports, correspondence and photographs.

(d) Cassettes. In some cases, these are self-recorded. In others, they are records of interviews by the Project.

Access to Materials

Contributors were asked to return a form agreeing to access to and use of the materials. Very few requested restrictions or a time embargo.

17

The Questionnaires

Questionnaires were sent only to people who had been directly employed by U.N. agencies. Government representatives and military officers are thus excluded from this analysis. 233 replies were received. Several of those who replied had served with more than one U.N. agency. The replies covered service with the following agencies: U.N. 57, FAO 54, World Bank 53, ILO 41, WHO 27, Unesco 24, UNDP (including TAB and S.F.) 20, UNRRA 14, UNHCR 6, UNICEF 5, UNIDO 5, IAEA 5, UNRWA 5, ECA 4, ITU 4, IMF 4, UNCTAD 3, IRO 3, ICAO 3, ECA 3, IMCO 2, UNRISD 2, UPU 2, WMO 2, WFP 2, UNFPA 2, IMCO 2, ESCAP 1, GATT 1, UNITAR 1.

Among the most interesting information emerging from the questionnaires was that about a third of the respondents had worked in colonial services before joining a U.N. agency. The highest proportion of these served in FAO, the World Bank and WHO. The U.N. agencies, as their development work was expanded rapidly, needed to find people with tropical experience, and at about the same time British administrators and professionals were becoming redundant in the process of decolonisation. Nationality

25 respondents had nationalities other than British at birth. Professions of Parents

Over half the respondents replied to this optional question. The largest numbers of fathers were in business and commerce (29), followed by teaching and education (24), engineering (18), government service (14), ministers of religion (13), armed services (12), medicine (9), farming (9), colonial services (7), manual workers (7), accountants (5), lawyers (3), international officials (2), and other (12).

Of mothers, by far the largest number were described as housewives. Of the rest, most were teachers (24), nurses (8), secretaries (7), and artists, actresses or writers (6). Level of Education

The highest level of educational qualifications obtained by respondents were: professional diplomas (66), postgraduate degrees (42), B.A., M.A., or B.Sc. (83), and secondary education (19). At the postgraduate level, London provided most degrees, followed by overseas universities, Cambridge and Oxford. At the graduate level Cambridge came first, followed by London and Oxford. Profession of Spouses

Not all respondents who had been married answered this. The largest number of spouses were U.N. agency officials or employees (28), teachers (28), secretaries (18), government service (14), and medicine and nursing (12). Previous Employment of Respondents

In some cases more than one profession was mentioned. After the 80 who had served in Colonial Services come other government services (56), teaching and education (46), armed services (30), private sector (27), engineering (13), medicine (7), and law (3).

18

Method of First Entry to U.N. Agencies

First entry to U.N. service was obtained by direct application by 79 respondents and through personal contact with U.N. agency officials by 73. 38 were proposed by government offices; 29 were directly approached by U.N. agencies; and 9 were proposed by professional institutions. Reasons for Leaving

Age limit (119); expiry of contract (32); family and personal reasons (11); resignation for unspecified reasons (17); for academic posts (10); for private sector (6); for government posts (5); dissatisfaction (5); early retirement and transfer to other U.N. agencies (3); health and overwork (3); other reasons (7). Consultancies after Leaving

121 respondents were re-employed by U.N. agencies. This figure is not very meaningful because it is not possible to distinguish between officials retiring after a permanent career, and “experts” recruited for specific assignments. It appears, however, that a significant number in each category were re-employed.

A Summary of Contributions Received

[Respondents who appear under more than one heading are asterisked,] United Nations - General

Several respondents have referred to Sir Brian Urquhart’s autobiography A Life in Peace and War as a fascinating and authentic commentary on the first 40 years of U.N. To supplement this, Sir Brian has promised to send the project copies of transcripts of interviews which he has given.

There are several descriptions of the early days of U.N. A copy has been obtained from the Yale Project of an interview with Lord Gladwyn who was Executive Secretary to the Preparatory Commission of U.N. in 1945.

Dame Mary Smieton (1946-48) who was brought from Whitehall as the first Director of Personnel describes the confused situation which she found in New York where individual units were recruiting staff without references to the Personnel or Finance Departments, so that salaries were unpaid. Appointments had to be regularized; and a system of recruitment had to be organized which took into account geographical distribution; also a promotions policy. She comments on the misunderstandings arising from differing American and British administrative traditions.

Ms. Nina Nash has contributed a note on a recruitment mission to Czechoslovakia in 1946.

*Sir Robert Jackson, in transcribed interviews with the project, discusses his assignment as Assistant Secretary General for Co-ordination in 1946 and its abrupt termination by Trygvie Lie. Transcripts have also been received, for the project to copy, of interviews held with Sir Robert in New York in 1985. In addition to questions covered in the interviews conducted by UNCRP, he discusses in these his involvement with UNICEF and his role in Bangladesh, Zambia, Kampuchea, and Cape Verde.

Early recruits were only allowed to take £25 each out of Britain. Several respondents mention their initial domestic problems but also the kindness and hospitality extended to the

19

newcomers by American organizations and families. Their children tended rapidly to become Americanised. There seems a general impression that there was more camaraderie and better co-ordination in the single storey office at Lake Success than later in the 39 storey U.N, headquarters building. There are several references to the bitterness in the Secretariat during Senator McCarthy’s attacks on U.N. when Trygvie Lie was felt to have betrayed the spirit of the Charter by allowing the F.B.I. free access within Headquarters.

There are a number of accounts of long careers. T.B. Kirkbridge (1945-74) came to U.N. from Standard Oil via UNRRA. For many years he was responsible for preparing the U.N. Budget, which he did on conservative lines. When the developing countries pressed for a great expansion and for a system of programme budgeting, he preferred to move to the U.N. Geneva office as Director of Administration and Budget Services. He had been warmly supported by U Thant, but later saw morale decline and took early retirement. On the whole, however, he had a successful, satisfactory and happy career.

The project holds 5 boxes of the papers of the late D.B.H. Vickers, Legal Counsel to the U.N. In addition to refugee questions in URRA and UNRWA, these deal with the West Irian dispute, relations of U.N. agencies with South Africa and Rhodesia, National Liberation movements, Slavery and Involuntary Servitude. There are also documents concerning the Rev. Michael Scott.

A career which covered an exceptionally long period was that of Ms. A.M. Midwinter Vergin who served from 1930-40 in the League of Nations in its Editorial and Economic Intelligence Departments and Treasury. She next became the first woman Clerk to the House of Commons and later worked in the Foreign Office as a member of British delegations to founding conferences of U.N., UNRRA and FAO. She joined U.N. in 1946 and worked mainly in the Social Affairs Department until retirement in 1969. Afterwards she represented UNRWA in Geneva. She considered that there was a prejudice against women in higher grades and that her experience would have carried her further in U.N. had she been a man.

Another woman with a long U.N. career was Ms. Imogen Mollett (1947-76) who worked in New York as translator, precise writer, as Secretary of the Publications Board and in Recruitment. She took early retirement when promotion was blocked by geographical distribution.

R.W. Walsh (1963-81) came to U.N. from the Colonial Service and worked with ECA, with the Public Administration Division and in Personnel at Headquarters, and with ECE in Geneva. He considered that there was a strong element of luck in recruitment and that U.N.’s system of annual performance reports was useless. His most enjoyable work was in staff training. Despite frustrations and disappointments he regarded this second career as very satisfying.

A.C. Gilpin came to New York in 1952 from ECAFE, worked in the Department of Economic Affairs until 1957 and then with TAB until 1960. He was Chairman of the Headquarters Staff Committee and was impressed with the understanding and percipience of Hammarskjold on staff problems. His memoirs also give a picture of the family life of a British staff member in New York.

In a later period Sir Andrew Stark, after being attached to the U.K. Permanent Mission as a member of the committee on Reorganization of U.N., joined the Secretariat as Under Secretary General for Administration and Management, 1968-71. The project has transcribed an interview with him. One of his responsibilities was Personnel. He discusses the attitude to the International Civil Service of various nationalities as well as pressures from Government

20

regarding appointments and promotions. He considered the vast majority of U.N. officials as capable of doing their jobs.

A.G. Brown (1954-84), who served as an Economist at Headquarters and as Director of the OPEX scheme has contributed an unpublished paper written in 1986 on “Reliving the North-South Dialogue in U.N.”.

H.W. Singer (1946-69) UN/UNCTAD/ECA has contributed copies of papers on various economic and trade problems.

M. Pilkington who worked with the U.N. Field Service 1950-82 in a short note described the “chaos” of its inauguration. Security Council Affairs

Sir Edgar (then Brigadier) Williams has presented the project with brief notes made while he served in the Security Council Affairs Department in 1946. These refer to some of the political questions before the Council and to the staffing of the Secretariat. He recorded how “we all become too important for our age group and can’t readily jump down, and [were] used too to quick results”.

*J.R. Symonds served with the U.N. Commission for India and Pakistan (1948-49) whose efforts led to a ceasefire in the Kashmir War but not to a final settlement. He ponders whether the Commission might have achieved more if it had been less cautious and legalistic. He mentions problems of leadership of the secretariat of the mission. His account is part of a recorded interview of his Indian experiences made by the British Library. Trusteeship

W.F. Cottrell (1947-65) came from the Sudan Political Service to the Trusteeship Department, of which he eventually became Deputy Director. He contributes reports of various Trusteeship missions with photographs. He comments adversely on interference by some senior officials in normal recruitment and promotion procedures; also on the practice of recruiting new people whenever new work arose instead of entrusting it to existing staff. He regarded his period with U.N., however, as the most satisfying in his life. His career is more fully described in his published autobiography Better Born Lucky.

*W.A.C. Mathieson, in a recorded and transcribed interview, describes his experiences as Counsellor on Colonial Affairs with the U.K. Delegation to U.N. in New York (1951-54). As such he was a U.K. Representative on the Trusteeship Council, supporting Sir Alan Burns who came over from London. He comments on his colleagues on the Council and on some of the U.N. officials with whom he dealt. He also discusses missions to Trust Territories on which he served. He considers that the fact that Tanganyika was a Trust Territory accelerated the pace of independence in East Africa. United Nations Operation in the Congo (ONUC)

The U.N. operation in the Congo was unique at the time, inasmuch as U.N. found itself virtually responsible for organizing and running the activities of an administration which had collapsed. The project is fortunate in having obtained several substantial accounts based on contemporary letters and papers.

*A.C. Gilpin (1960-5) served as U.N. Representative in Kasai, Assistant to the Representative of the Secretary General, Deputy Chief of Civilian Operations and Deputy Resident Representative of UNTAB. His account, of 200 pages, describes day-to-day work

21

and problems, quoting from letters and notes written at the time with a connecting narrative. It is unusually vivid and is supported by numerous photographs.

*J.M. Saunders was Chief Administrative Officer and Deputy UNTAB Resident Representative (1964-65). (There were two Deputies.) His account of about 100 pages consists of extracts from letters written to his wife and background notes, together with copies of documents on administration.

*Dr. A.E. Brown was Deputy Chief of Mission of WHO in the Congo (1962-4) and was virtually Director of Health Services. His substantial contribution mainly consists of reports and correspondence with WHO headquarters and its staff in the Congo and with the Congo Government.

The project has obtained a copy of A Spectator in the Congo – Memories from the Diary of an Onlooker at the Violent Birth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by the late Winifred Tickner. This was written as a book but apparently was not published. Mrs. Tickner was the wife of F. Tickner, U.N. Representative in Kasai in 1961. Her account records the problems of domestic life in the disturbed conditions which prevailed.

Among papers of the later D.B.H. Vickers, was one by Major M.G. Abhyankar Curing the Open Wound – a survey of the U.N. operations in the Congo. This describes the U.N. military operations. The author’s role is not specified. Technical Assistance

U.N. was responsible for giving technical assistance in areas in which there were no competent specialized agencies. For this purpose, a Technical Assistance Administration (UNTAA) was set up, later to become the Office of Technical Co-operation (OTC). Eventually UNIDO hived off to Vienna taking with it responsibility for assistance in industry.

*J.S.D. Dey (1960-64) was an Expert in Management Accounting in Egypt. Subsequently he transferred to ILO, which took over responsibility for advice on management. He applied to join U.N. after reading an inspiring article about U.N. technical assistance in the Readers Digest. He found the briefing given by UNTAA in Geneva superficial by contrast with that given later by ILO. One of his colleagues as an expert in Egypt spoke no Arabic, English or French and the Egyptian government vetoed the extension of the contract of another colleague. The results of the project were disappointing except for the Fellowships element, but even in this a number of the fellows on returning left the project to work for U.N. agencies elsewhere or in the private sector.

W. Wood (1970-81) served as an expert in Public Administration in the Dominican Republic, India, Iran, Colombia and Project Manager in Liberia. He contributed an account of the Liberian project which was suspended after a coup d’etat. Economic Commission for Africa (ECA)

D.W.R. Hill (1968-79) came from the Colonial Service to become Regional Adviser in Economic Surveys. He considered that among obstacles to efficient work were the recruitment of staff for political rather than professional qualifications; also, the extreme difficulty of getting rid of incompetent staff and poor clerical support. He managed to develop a useful series of economic data, but lack of reliable national data led to late recognition of the serious food situation in the Seventies. Economic Commission for Europe (ECE)

22

B.N. Davies (1948-78) came from the Central Statistics Office of the U.K. Cabinet Office to be Senior Statistician and Director of the Statistical Division. The work was completely satisfying – professionally, personally and materially.

Sir Claus Moser, in a taped interview, discussed the work of the Conference of European Statisticians at ECE and of the U.N. Statistical Commission in New York. He found the former a particularly effective body of professionals, well supported by the Secretariat and rather little affected by political controversy.

C.T. Saunders (1965-73) worked in the Economic Research Division. He too found his work satisfying. ECE was responsible for many useful agreements and standards. Some problems arose from the different methods of work of the international staff, but the Commission had a useful educational function in this respect. He had great difficulty in obtaining support from Whitehall in finding U.K. candidates for ECE posts. Social Affairs

P. Kuenstler (1956-79) gives an account of his activities in Community Development and Youth Work in which social affairs is seen as something of a poor relation in the U.N. system. Peacekeeping

In the U.N. Force in Cyprus, the chief of Staff was usually British. The project holds the transcript and tape of an interview with Lt.-Gen. Sir James Wilson who served in this capacity 1964-1966 and as Acting Force Commander. Sir James has also donated copies of chapters of his unpublished memoirs regarding his U.N. experience as well as of lectures on the subject. He found no conflict of loyalties between his responsibilities to U.N. and to the U.K. Government. The mandate of UNFICYP and the support from U.N. Headquarters served its purpose well and the support and understanding from U.N. Headquarters were excellent. He also discusses the diplomatic aspects of his role.

Field Marshall Lord Carver was Chief of Staff of UNFICYP in 1954, after previously commanding the British Peacekeeping Forces. He has contributed copies of several unpublished lectures on the subject. He has also written about this experience in his autobiography Out of Step.

Brigadier M. Harbottle was Chief of Staff of UNFICYP in 1966-68). Subsequently he devoted most of his time to studying and writing about international peacekeeping. The project has copies of some of his papers but it is his intention eventually to present all of them to the Bodleian Library.

General Sir Frank Kitson who was Chief of Staff of UNFICUYP (1967-8) has drawn the project’s attention to relevant chapters in his books Low Intensity Operations and Bunch of Five.

General Sir Robert Pascoe contributes a detailed account of a clash between Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot forces in which he was involved as a UNFICYP Company commander in 1967. Joint Inspection Unit

M.E. Allen (1978-84) in a transcribed taped interview described his experience as a JIU Inspector after retirement from the Foreign Office. Although the Inspectors were instructed by the General Assembly, some governments (not the U.K.) exercised pressure on their

23

nationals. The JIU’s reports tended to become gradually less effective and the U.K. Government made no attempt to replace him when he retired. U.K. Government Representatives at U.N.

Several interesting impressions have been received from retired officials who represented the U.K. government at the U.N. in New York and Geneva.

Sir Donald Maitland was U.K. Permanent Representative in New York (1973-4). In a transcribed interview he discusses the Yom Kippur War and world economic crisis which arose from the increase in oil prices. He also considers the relative advantages of having a professional diplomat or politician in the post. He subsequently served as U.K. Representative at the EEC where he felt that “we were all on the same side”, whereas in New York situations were often confrontational, with the valuable exception of the monthly informal lunches of the Security Council.

Sir Crispin Tickell who was U.K Permanent Representative to U.N. (1987-90) has contributed copies of lectures which he gave at the time on the Role of the Security Council, among other questions.

Sir James Bottomley was U.K. Permanent Representative in Geneva (1976-78). In a letter to the project he recollects this as a period when members of the EEC were feeling their way towards common policies. He describes how because in the Geneva agencies, except ILO, decisions were reached by consensus, the serious bargaining used to take place on the final night of the session.

P. Carter who was Senior U.K. Representative in Geneva (1961-63) has contributed a brief note.

S. Golt , who was Deputy Secretary in the Board of Trade, contributes a note on the Brandt Report written in 1970.

Sir Bernard Ledwidge, in a transcribed interview, cites an impression of how U.N. Technical Assistance operations in Afghanistan appeared to the British Embassy in 1952-6. He is critical of the quality of the early experts, except in the health field, but it improved towards the end of his stay.

The project has a record of an interview with Ben Whitaker regarding his experience as a member of the U.N. Human Rights Sub-Committee (1975-78). The George Ivan Smith Papers

These comprise one of the broadest ranging items in the collection, relating to the political, public information and economic and social activities of U.N. George Ivan Smith was born in Australia but now lives in England. After setting up Radio Australia and working in the BBC, he U.N., set up its broadcasting services and became Director of External Affairs of its Department of Public Information. He worked closely with Hammarskjold who he accompanied on a number of missions. He was twice Director of the U.N. Information Centre in London, served in the Congo, and set up the UNDP offices in East and Central Africa where he was simultaneously Personal Representative of the Secretary General. His papers include correspondence with many political and public figures in Britain and Africa and elsewhere. Arrangements are being made for them to be donated to the Bodleian at a later date. Anti-Slavery Society

24

Col. J.R. Montgomery, who was Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society 0 has contributed an account of his role behind the scenes at debates of ECOSOC, bringing to light current instances of slavery, and also recollections of missions to investigate slavery.

United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and International Relief Organization (IRO)

It has been difficult to contact former officials of UNRRA because most of its work terminated in 1947. Its operations are of particular interest as they were the earliest to be undertaken by UN and many of its officials went on to serve in other UN agencies, carrying the UNRRA tradition and practices with them. British nationals were somewhat favoured in the hasty recruitment process because UNRRA’s European office was in London. A number of officials employed in the displaced persons side of UNRRA’s work were transferred to IRO in 1947.

*Sir Robert Jackson, who was Senior Deputy Director General, describes the shake-out in 1945 of officials who had been recruited from whoever was available during the war, and Churchill’s consequent indignation at the dismissal of his protégés. He sees UNRRA’s operations as a considerable success, inadequately recorded. He reminisces on the style of Governor Lehmann and Mayor La Guardia as successive Directors General; his many anecdotes include the circumstances of the dismissal of General Morgan in Germany.

Dame Iris Murdoch in a transcribed taped interview describes her work with displaced persons in Austria (1945-46). She gives a favourable impression of UNRRA’s operations and staff. *J.R. Symonds, who worked in 1946-47 first in camps in the American zone of Austria and then as the UNRRA Representative in the supply operation in the Russian zone, is somewhat more critical.

Ms. Joan Luckett describes in detail the organization of UNRRA camps in Germany. She later served with ICAO and FAO. Dr. A.E. Brown recollects his astonishment at being appointed as the Chief Medical officer of UNRRA’s mission in Hungary at the age of 28. this led into a long career with WHO.

Ms. T.B. Callow-Miles served with UNRRA (1945-6) in Germany and Austria and subsequently with IRO until 1950. she provides a vivid account of the improvisations of, and heavy responsibilities in, the early days of the D.P. programme in Germany.

D.C. Newton, a Canadian, has sent an account of setting up the UNRRA displaced persons operation in Austria in 1945, based on letters written at the time. He has promised to contribute copies of further episodes in his U.N. career.

United Nations Development Programmer (UNDP) and its Predecessors – U.N. Technical Assistance Board (TAB) and U.N. Special Fund (S.F.) *A.C. Gilpin served with TAB (1957-60) and with its successor, UNDP (1965-74). His account of his experiences as UNDP Regional Representative in Southern Africa 1965-74 (about 150 pages) is largely based on letters written at the time. It covers not only the regular activities of UNDP, but political aspects, with a note on some Zambian personalities. Other parts of his contribution are described under “United Nations”, and “Congo”. As a general reflection he considers himself “extremely lucky to have been in at the early stages, when idealism was rampant – of course it still exists but rather less rampant – and before administrative bureaucracy inevitably developed”.

25

*J.R. Symonds served with UNTAB (1950-65) and with UNDP (1972-79) in New York, as Representative in Europe (Geneva), as Resident Representative in Ceylon, Yugoslavia, Greece and Tunisia, and in short postings in Africa. His contribution contains chapters on each assignment and some unpublished reports. His general impression is that the work of a Resident Representative was more rewarding in the early days, when he had a small staff but represented most of the U.N. agencies, than in the 70’s when the staff had greatly expanded and when several U.N. agencies had their own country Representatives. He deplores the trend by which a number of Resident Representatives came to see themselves as “Excellencies”, assimilated to the Diplomatic Corps, a characteristic which is also commented upon unfavourably in several contributions from former Technical Assistance Experts.

T.M. Unwin (1964-83) came from the Colonial Service to serve as Assistant, Deputy and Resident Representative in Malawi, Turkey, the Philippines and Papua-New Guinea. His last three years were on secondment as UNHCR Representative in Uganda. In a letter, he observes that where – as in Africa – there was not a viable civil Service, technical assistance tended to be a waste of time. He records UNDP and the U.N, as once having had excellent services; in later years the level fell through infusions of ex-Ministers and others whose main concern was their own careers.

Ms. A. MacMillan (1956-59) served as Secretary in the UNTAB office in Iran and gives brief impressions of three successive Resident Representatives, each of whose different styles she admired.

A letter from an American national, Myer Cohen, Deputy Administrator of UNDP, very briefly describes his distinguished UNRRA and UNDP career.

Ms. P. Guillebaud (1953-86) served mainly as a Project Officer at UNDP Headquarters and also as Deputy Resident Representative in Angola. She contributes a brief note on the latter experience.

A copy has been received of an account, published in India, of the experience of an Indian national, Sudhir Sen, who worked at Headquarters for UNTAB and then as its Resident Representative in Ghana and Yugoslavia. He also served as Deputy Administrator of the U.N. Temporary Executive Authority in West Irian. His greatest burden was his “bureaucratic masters with hardened arteries and closed minds”. At headquarters “progress was measured in terms of dollars spent, not results achieved”. In spite of this he describes a number of successful initiatives.

*Sir Robert Jackson, in a transcribed interview, discusses the Capacity Study which he conducted for UNDP

International Labour Organization (ILO) The careers of British officials of ILO were affected by two special factors. It is a tripartite organization of governments, employers and workers, and it has a continuous history going back to 1919. Another characteristic was that whereas in most other U.N. agencies it was unusual for a staff member without higher education to be promoted from the General Service to the Professional Grade, this was not uncommon in ILO. It would appear that resignations from ILO were less frequent than in some other U.N. agencies.

The project has acquired in the papers of the late D.B.H. Vickers, the typescript – undated – of a book by C.W. Jenks, at the time Assistant Director-General of ILO, International

26

Organizations in the conflict of Laws. Enquiries made to ILO seem to indicate that this is unpublished.

W. Farr (1957-82) who worked at Headquarters mainly in the Personnel Department, of which he became Chief, contributes a particularly informative paper. He points out that ILO was the only U.N. organization which recruited its staff by competition. The calibre of the staff was very high when he joined ILO, but became diluted with the great expansion of the technical assistance programme. He considers that ILO legislation has immeasurably improved the lot of workers in the developed world. Technical assistance was more successful in Asia than in Latin America and Africa, partly because of the large number of military regimes in those regions.

When he first joined ILO, about 90% of international staff acted as true international civil servants. By the time he left, the percentage was about 70%. The core of the Secretariat remained cohesive and dedicated, with some appointments being made at the periphery under political pressure. Despite the frustrations, the writer records his career as very satisfactory.

V.T. Chivers (1954-88) rose from the position of Clerk (G.3) to Secretary of the Staff Insurance Fund (P.5). He served mainly at Headquarters in Geneva, but was for several years in New York and Bangkok. His paper of 59 pages is called A Career in Administration in the ILO. He reflects critically on the lack of decentralisation of decision from Geneva, the lack of financial incentive to work outside of Headquarters, and the poor career prospects of local staff in the field. He also comments on the competition between U.N. agencies for projects. Despite these criticisms he enjoyed his career and felt that in ILO personal qualities and hard work counted for much more than academic qualifications.

W.C. Churchward (1963-78) served as an Expert on vocational Training and as Project Manager in African countries and in Kuwait. He found this work “very productive and worthwhile...99% of my experts were first class and the officials I deal with highly supportive.”

P.P. Colborne (1966-81), an Industrial Training Expert, has provided brief descriptions of missions in Thailand, Malaysia, Liberia and Bangladesh, all of which he considered successful.

*J.S.D. Day (1960-88) (see also under United Nations) worked in the Management Development Branch at ILO Headquarters and also carried out missions in South Korea and Turkey which were successful because of the enthusiasm and diligence of the counterparts. After retirement, he carried out further short assignments on contact. Reflecting on Technical Co-operation, he comments on the unfortunate results of the poaching of key local staff to work at attractive salaries in international organizations, as well as on lack of follow-up after termination of projects. He regards the productivity of ILO staff as having decreased because of the recruitment of unqualified or unsuitable staff for geographical reasons or in response to pressure from national officials to employ their friends and relations. There was over-staffing and virtually no assessment of performance.

H. Dunning (1966-77) came to ILO from the T.U.C. as Chief of the Workers Relations Branch which he regarded as one of the most interesting posts in the U.N. system. He considered that the staff of ILO were by and large devoted to their organization, and competent. There was, however, a tendency to waste resources on unnecessary travel and unmerited promotion, and on an enormous output of documents.

27

G.R. Lunt was an ILO Adviser in Management Training (1960-78) in Poland, India, Bulgaria and Cyprus, and also worked for two years for UNESCO. Of seven projects on which he worked only two were successful. He criticizes the planning and execution of Technical Assistance projects and the poor preparation and briefing of experts. Looking back, however, he found the work “most rewarding”.

B. Loveridge (1952-75) served as an Expert in Co-operatives and Project Manager in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. He criticizes lack of continuity in projects and considers that there ought to have been more planners in the UNDP offices, which should also have made more use of local nationals as professional staff.

L. Pickett (1963-87) was another Co-operative specialist who served as Expert, Regional Adviser in Africa and the Middle East, and later at Headquarters. He found the attitude of the Third World to “us ex-colonialists surprisingly positive and sympathetic”. He regarded his work, visiting and working in 60 countries “with great satisfaction” except for the anxiety caused by spending 15 years on successive one year contracts. He makes some detailed criticisms of technical co-operation.

D.R. Stuart-Williams (1972-80) was an Expert and Project Manager in the field of Social Studies; he served in 7 duty stations, covering 16 countries. He makes a number of criticisms of technical assistance programmes, including poor procedures for selection of Project Managers and vested interests, such as excessive efforts of UN agencies to obtain any kind of technical assistance in order to earn overhead costs from UNDP.

Food and Agricultural Organization Lord Boyd Orr, in his published autobiography gives an account of his election as FAO’s first Director-General and of his period of office. D.M. Lubbock (1946-51), who was his first Personal Assistant, amplifies this in his contribution to the project. He comments on the origins of FAO and on the hostility of the U.K. Government to Boyd-Orr’s proposals for a World Food Board.

Another early recruit was *O. Lloyd (1952-59) who describes how he was peremptorily taken out of the Colonial Office by the Deputy Director General of FAO, Sir Herbert Broadley, who needed a Whitehall trained assistant. He remembers the Director General, B.R. Sen, as a brilliant administrator, fearless and sometimes ruthless; and his Deputy, Sir Herbert Broadley, as a superb draftsman. The Director General’s office was so busy that all got on well together.

Later contributions come both from those who served at Headquarters and those who were in the field. Morale seems generally to have been higher in the field than at Headquarters.

R.A. Bishop (1952-77) served as an Economist at Headquarters and as FAO Country Representative in Turkey. He observes that FAO did not recruit the best available people and suggests that recruitment should be undertaken by competition, except for a limited number of appointees at the Director General’s discretion; the latter would depart at the end of his mandate. R.A. Bishop took early retirement with feelings of disappointment and frustration.

Another long-serving official, Mrs. H.V. Klein Innace (1951-84), was a Statistician and Commodity Specialist. At the beginning (though FAO was known when it moved from Washington to Rome as the “Funny American Organization”) her colleagues were mostly young, idealistic and hardworking; the B.R. Sen era was one of expansion and job satisfaction. Afterwards staff morale suffered because salaries were no longer attractive and the Organization became more politicized. She suggests that FAO was more effective when

28

its work was mainly in information, analysis and technical assistance rather than when, later, it tried to become a development agency.

K.E. Snelson (1964-83) was an Irrigation Officer in the FAO-World Bank Co-operative Program in Rome which helped Governments to identify projects. This was subject to fewer bureaucratic and financial restraints than FAO’s other work, but being constantly on mission was stressful and eventually affected his health.

Another Irrigation engineer based at FAO Headquarters, A. Zagni (1984-87) found the work most rewarding professionally but the uncertainty of tenure made it unsuitable for someone in his fifties.

In the Field, B.G. Goodier (1964-76) served as an Expert and Project Manager of the Land and Water Use Division in Venezuela, Peru and Indonesia. He criticizes the failure of FAO to put pressure on its personnel in Latin America to learn Spanish and the World Bank for recruiting key people in developing countries to posts in Washington, to the detriment of their countries’ progress. In Indonesia, he found the Government confused by so many offers of aid from various sources. His assessment of results is mixed, but he made many permanent international friendships.

K. Meecham (1967-84) served as a Fisheries Officer and Project Manager in Africa and Asia. He considered that staff training, particularly of Project Managers, was inadequate. He suggests the need for more decentralization and follow-up. Despite some disappointments, he found the work extremely satisfying.

Another Expert who describes his career as most satisfactory is E. Knew (1959-72) who worked both for FAO and UNIDO as a Hides and Skins Specialist in Sudan (where he had excellent counterparts) and Fiji.

A.C. Firth (1965-78) served as a Project Manager and Forestry Expert in Latin America and Fiji after being a member of the British Administration in Belize. His wife was able to work as a nurse in some countries but prohibited from doing so in others. He comments on the anxieties resulting from uncertainty as to renewal of contracts and the “ritual” of the stream of consultants who visited projects.

J.W.Davis (1958-72) worked as a Soils Chemist in Iran, Nigeria, Tanzania and Thailand. In a paper on “Life in the Field with FAO”, he dwells on the element of change in this kind of career, whose continuation always depended on whether there happened to be another post available at the end of each contract. His recollections were of helpful and considerate support from Rome. The paper, and an Appendix of correspondence, gives a useful picture of the work and life of an FAO Expert. In conclusion, he considers that he benefited greatly from the experience and that the work was financially “vastly rewarding”. The results were mixed – more successful in training counterparts in Thailand and Northern Nigeria than in Iran and Tanzania. Finally “all U.N. people I met have worked with enthusiasm and a sort of missionary zeal.”

A. Seager (1960-63) worked as Agricultural Adviser for both FAO and the World Bank after the termination of his career in the U.K. Colonial Service. He criticizes U.N. Agencies for “reinventing the wheel” and paying inadequate attention both to previous studies and to the reasons for the practices of local cultivators.

Ms. Sheila Cassidy after four years with WHO moved to Rome where she worked from 1955—86 with FAO, except for 3 years with WFP. She started as a secretary and ended as a P.2,

29

mostly in Disaster Relief. She considered that the achievements of U.N. and FAO in Bangladesh and in Africa were inadequately recognized by the media and that the great majority of FAO personnel were devoted to their jobs. A weakness was the failure of officers (not secretaries) to learn languages.

T. Alun Jones has provided a memoir which covers a colonial and overseas business career before describing his work with the FAO – World Bank Co-operative Programme as an Agricultural Adviser. Its field teams “displayed a tremendous sense of purpose” and the work was the most satisfactory of his career. He criticizes the Bank’s preference for large project loans which were beyond the capacity of some governments to absorb.

The project has obtained a copy of the privately published Selected Writings of Karl Olsen, an American who studied at Cambridge and married a British national. For some 30 years he was the key figure in the FAO’s technical assistance programme and guide to the hundreds of experts who were employed by FAO.

An essay has been received on the International Civil Service by the late Mrs. Jean Fairley Orbaneja, who was for many years Budget Officer at FAO Headquarters.

Some reflections on FAO have been received from two former officials who represented the U.K. Government

A.J. Peckham was U.K. Representative to FAO in Rome (1977-80). He comments on the unfortunate consequences of bad relations between FAO and WFP, the use of patronage and the declining role of British staff – despite all of which some departments continued to do good work. Representation of the U.K. in WFP and IFAD, was more agreeable than that in FAO.

*W.A.C. Matthieson was Under Secretary in charge of the International Division of the Ministry of Overseas Development and Deputy Secretary (1964-75). He attended meetings of the FAO Council and General Conference where he had a good relationship with the “imperious” Dr. B.R.Sen. He more or less took charge of the election campaign of Sen’s successor, Boerma and gives an inside story of the latter’s election, as well as that of his successor Dr. Saouma.

D.F. Howson (1980-86) was an expert in agricultural machinery, based in India, Thailand and Ethiopia. His contribution deals mainly with problems of persuading agriculturalists to adopt new methods. In India and Thailand the work was successful. In Ethiopia there was poor support from the government, and the expert terminated his contract because the living conditions made it impossible for his wife to join him. He suggests that FAO’s motto should be “Fiat papyrus” or “The pen is mightier than the ploughshare”.

A.S.M. Hall (1963-8) came to FAO from the Colonial Service in Tanzania.. He served in FAO as marketing adviser in Mauritius, Project Manager in Iran and at Headquarters. In a particularly reflective contribution he suggests that help in the cultural assimilation of unfamiliar techniques may be more important than actual technical assistance. He considers that the changes which followed the Jackson Capacity Study stifled professional initiatives in FAO.

United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Several contributions have referred with approval to the book by Richard Hoggart, Assistant Director-General (1970-75) An Idea and Its Servants; this supports Unesco’s objectives, but criticizes its management. One contributor comments that Sir Julian Huxley, Unesco’s first

30

Director General, in his autobiography describes an unfortunate precedent set for the method of staff appointments.

A brief account of the early period at Unesco Headquarters comes from H.L. Elvin who was Director of the Education Department (1950-56); he discusses the relative arguments for concentration or spreading around of Unesco’s resources and contrasts the role of a senior international official with that of a national civil servant. He considers that the long sessions of the Conference and Executive Board hampered the work, and that there was too little devolution of responsibility. Nevertheless “the record is one in which those concerned can take some pride”.

A.J.A. Elliott (1952-80) who served in Paris and was also Chief of Mission in Ethiopia, has contributed a comprehensive account of 22 pages on his career written as much for his family as for the project. This seems a deterioration in the Organization from the time when members of the Executive Board came to speak for governments instead of as individuals. This decline was accentuated by the McCarthy witchhunt of 1954 and later by an increasing politicization. The note also discusses the broader political problems of the Specialized Agencies during the Cold War.

C.T. Crellin, who was with Unesco from 1968-85, mostly in Asia, comments on some general problems. He observes that Unesco officials were often influenced by the governments of their countries because they had less security of tenure than those of most other U.N. Agencies. He also points out that Unesco, unlike UNICEF, did not recruit young officials with a view to developing their careers. Over a period of 20 years Unesco salaries became less attractive. Personal interest is described as a negative element in career development.

A.N. Gillett has contributed three boxes of letters, diaries and other materials from his career in Teacher Training in the Philippines, Thailand and Iran (1954-65).

P. Mawhood contributes an account of the Unesco African Training and Research Centre (CAFRAD) in Tangier, where he was an Expert and Deputy Director (1964-67).

F.T. Russell, whose materials are in Rhodes House, Oxford, worked for both U.N. and Unesco as a Statistical Expert in Southern Africa and the Caribbean. He makes interesting comparisons between this experience and his previous work in the Colonial Service.

C.M. Townsend worked for Unesco (1961-81) as an Education Specialist in Arab States and at Headquarters. He sees African aspirations and conflict over geographical distribution of posts as responsible for the “debacle” when the USA and UK withdrew. In spite of the difficulties, he “always felt privileged to serve the Organisation”. He quotes with approval Richard Hoggart’s description of the role of Unesco in reminding the rest of the U.N. system of the social implications of development programmes.

E.K. Townsend Coles served as Adult Education Specialist in Greece, Afghanistan, Botswana and at Headquarters (1971-82). He considered that there was a decline in professional calibre at Headquarters because of use of short-term contracts, lack of rotation between Headquarters and the Field and politicization of appointments. His most satisfactory experience was as a UNESCOPAS official, directly responsible to the Botswana Governments.

C. Newbury has contributed copies of reports written in 1959 whilst a Research Officer in Social Sciences at Headquarters.

W.E.F. Ward describes his experience as a U.K. Government Representative in the early days of Unesco (1945-66), when he had the task of expounding and defending Britain’s colonial

31

education policies, which he also undertook in the U.N. Trusteeship Council. This contribution is part of a wider account of his career, deposited in Rhodes House.

*W.A.C. Matthieson (taped and transcribed) gives an account of representing the U.K. Overseas Development Ministry at the Unesco General Conference. He comments both on Unesco programmes and on the style of René Maheu as Director General and that of Malcolm Adiseshia as Deputy Director General.

W.H. Dodd, who was a member of the Unesco Executive Board (1983-5), has contributed 3 boxes of papers, mainly referring to the U.K.’s withdrawal from the Organisation.

L.H. Palmier worked at the Unesco Research Centre for Social and Economic Development in Southern Asia (Delhi) (1962-5) and at the U.N. Research Institute for Social Development in Geneva (1966-7). His contribution is embargoed.

World Health Organization (WHO) WHO recruited many British nationals, particularly those with tropical experience. The project has, however, received fewer contributions from them than from some other large agencies, partly because an association of former officials of WHO was only in the course of formation at the time when circulars were sent out and a mailing list was not therefore available.

A substantial contribution of broad interest has been received from *Dr. A.F. Brown who was Health Adviser and WHO Representative in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Ethiopia, and also served in the Congo and in the WHO Regional Office in Alexandria. Copies are included of many of his letters describing not only his professional work but the political and social background. He has also written “vignettes” – descriptions, often entertaining, of particular episodes.

Dr J. Galea served between 1962 in African and Asian countries, mostly as Senior Public Health Administrator and WHO Country Representative. He discusses the merits and disadvantages of the delegation of authority in WHO to its regional offices. Whilst proud of WHO’s achievements, he makes constructive criticisms of its procedures. WHO’s influence in guiding progress in the health sector is seen as decreasing.

Another contribution which describes a field career in several countries is that of E.C.C. Wren (1958-69) who took part in malaria eradication campaigns in Zanzibar, Liberia, Southern Rhodesia, Colombia and Surinam. In 5 cassettes, which have not been transcribed, he comments on his experiences in each country and derives from it both particular and general conclusions.

Ms. E.E. Bennett, Public Health Nurse, has contributed reports on her work in Western Samoa and India and a lighter account of incidents in Afghanistan.

Dr. A.R. Mills who served with WHO (1969-77) as Regional Adviser in Medical Education and WHO Representative in Nepal, contributes a brief note. He found his work interesting and rewarding but considered that communications between field workers and heads of divisions could be improved.

J.R. Cullen describes the total failure of a WHO malaria research team in the Belgian Congo in 1956 because of lack of co-operation from the government

32

Ms. V.M. Fearne’s moving autobiography relates her family’s dismay and opposition when she left a secure clerical post in the Bank of England to train as an Occupational therapist and how her work with WHO in Iran, Ceylon and Burma gave her the self-confidence which she had lacked.

Dr. H.B.L. Russell (1956-69) joined WHO after serving with the U.K. Overseas Medical Service in Geneva. He made an epidemiological survey in Ethiopia, was Public Health Adviser in the WHO E. Mediterranean and S.E. Asia Regional Offices and was WHO liaison officer with ECA. He did not find himself useful in the last post and resigned to teach at Edinburgh University. Despite some waste of money in supporting projects which governments failed to continue, he considered WHO to be one of the most successful U.N. agencies.

Two Chief Medical Officers of the U.K. Government who each served on the WHO Executive Board and represented the U.K. in the World Health Assembly, have contributed detailed impressions of WHO.

Sir George Godber was a member of the WHO Executive Board and U.K. Representative at the World Health Assembly between 1960 and 1973. A taped interview with him has been transcribed. The interview dealt with some of the political questions which arose, as well as substantive questions such as malaria eradication, family planning, and smoking. There are comments on the style of Dr. Candau and Dr. Mahler – both seen as great men – and on the consequences of WHO’s decentralised structure.

Sir John Reid was a member of the WHO Executive Board (1973-87), of which he became Chairman, as well as being U.K. Representative at the World Health Assembly. In a note written on this experience and in a taped and transcribed interview, he covers many of the same questions as his predecessor, Sir George Godber, over a later period. He sees WHO as having moved from being a somewhat paternalistic donor type of organization into being an international health co-operative.

The World Bank The World Bank, like the International Monetary Fund, although a Specialized Agency was somewhat aloof from the U.N. system. It did not adopt the U.N. salary scales or participate in the Joint Staff Pension Fund; there were no geographical quotas for employment of staff and the only working language was English. The British benefited, and the Bank drew considerably on British colonial experience. In addition to the contributions summarized below, the Bodleian Library holds the papers of W.D. Clark who was Director of Public Information and Vice President of the Bank.

Personal reflections are contributed by D.C. Pickering (1967-89) who came from the Colonial Service to work in the Agriculture Department in Washington and in the Africa region. After a year, his dislike of life in Washington led to his resignation but he rejoined after a few years in England. He regards Black and MacNamara as the most effective of the Ban’s Presidents, though MacNamara’s reorganization led to tensions between central projects staff and those responsible for lending operations. In agriculture, the Bank was inclined to have too much faith in the application of new technology without due consideration for local traditions. Expansion led to a decline in communication between Bank staff and Executive Directors; also to differences of approach between “grizzled ex-Colonials” and “ young Turks” – economists recruited under the Young Professionals scheme. The impact of the drastic reorganization of 1988, on Bank staff, is described as an exercise acceptable to Americans, disconcerting for Europeans and traumatic for Asians. Despite frustrations,the writer’s career is summarized as interesting, challenging, and rewarding.

33

H.S. Thriscutt (1977-83) worked as a Senior Highway Engineer for the Bank in South Asia. He had previously been a member of the Colonial Service and a lecturer and a partner in firms of consulting engineers. He regards as a mixed blessing the replacement of ex-Colonials in the Bank by young professional economists. The latter brought in new ideas, but lacked experience of working in the developing world. Though he had worked in many countries, he and his family found social interaction in Washington more difficult than anywhere else. He enjoyed his work and felt that some useful things were accomplished. Much of his time was spent on mission and he concludes “to be an effective Bank staff member one does not need to be a genius: one needs only to be professionally competent, to be unfrustratable and to have the digestive system of a Yak”. It was essential to guard against the self-importance resulting from being buttered up by borrowers. He has presented the project with a photo album of a rural road project in India.

S. Please (1963-1983) served as an Economist and Regional Director. He has published essays on the Bank as The Hobbled Giant (1984). He has contributed copies of unpublished papers and of a transcript of an interview made for an oral history of the Bank. These are mostly concerned with economic and fiscal policy.

A Seager (1973-85) had previously worked in the Colonial Service and in FAO. He criticizes the Bank for not studying previous records and reports of the Colonial era when initiating work in newly-independent countries; also for ailing to give attention to the reasons for traditional agricultural practices.

J. Spencer (1967-78) served as a Financial Analyst and made appraisal reports in the transport sector. He observes and deplores the fact that in Asia and Africa, World Bank loans indirectly enabled governments to spend a disproportionate amount of their resources on armaments, to the benefit of Western industry. He considers that World Bank staff were handsomely paid.

A memoir of Sir Herbert Stewart, C.I.M. is contributed by Lady Stewart, his widow. Sir Herbert had been Agricultural Commissioner to the Government of India and headed Bank missions to several countries between 1955-62. Lady Stewart worked at the Bank before her marriage.

Sir Alec Cairncross (1955-6) has contributed an account of the establishment by the Bank of its Economic Development Institute, of which he was the first Director. The object was to train senior administrators from developing countries. The teething troubles of the Institute are frankly described as well as its success.

L.J.C. Evans (1961-73) worked in the Agricultural Department of which eventually he became head. He has contributed the text of a lecture on 40 Years of Development Aid (1988), describing the Bank’s activities in the agricultural field. Successes were higher in the sixties and early seventies than later, when activities were perhaps too rapidly extended in Africa.

G.S. Wyatt (1965-76) was Managing Director of the East African Power and Lighting Co. before joining the Bank in the Public Utilities Department and later in the Projects Department. He found the environment and debates delightfully stimulating though he was not in agreement with MacNamara’s methods of management. Most people in the Bank had a sense of mission, but morale and efficiency plummeted under later Presidents.

Ms. B. Donaghy (1957-77) worked in Records Management and “the Bank was small but had a tremendous air of dedication – it was a truly exciting place to work.” This was not the impression of two other respondents, both engineers, who wish to remain unidentified. The

34

first worked in Washington and in the field in the seventies and eighties. He criticizes the Bank for failing to select as staff concerned with projects officials who were good managers of people. The Bank’s Young Professional scheme was defective in this respect. The Bank’s annual performance review is considered unrealistic for project personnel. Salaries did not keep up with European levels. The reorganization of 1987 is seen as having a disastrous effect on morale. The writer adds some fascinating comments on national characteristics.

Another engineer who wishes not to be identified and who had a long career with the Bank, found it professionally rewarding before the reorganization of 1987. This led to demoralization of senior technical officers and domination by young economists without either project experience or understanding of the developing world.

J.A. Paint (1986-89) was an Alternative Executive Director for the U.K. He contributes a note on the World Bank reorganization of 1987. The implementation method is seen as a disaster, but one from whose shocks the Bank rapidly recovered.

International Monetary Fund L. Alvis has contributed a copy of his Saudi Arabian diary, April 1978, which gives an amusing account of the background to his negotiations.

United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) S. Skoumal (1970-80) was a Senior Industrial Development Field Adviser (SIDFA) based in Pakistan and responsible for UNIDO work in several other countries. He found the UNIDO Secretariat difficult to work with because of bureaucratic obstructions, low efficiency and low morale due to insecurity of tenure. His subsequent experience in the limited role of a UNIDO expert was much more satisfying.

Dr. R.A. Khan (1093-82) worked as a Scientific Consultant for WHO in many countries and as Project Manager and Expert for UNIDO. He served in 15 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Far East. Most of the countries were apathetic towards the objectives of the projects, the exceptions being Cape Verde, Vietnam and Zambia. Whilst administrative support was usually adequate, the “lofty diplomatic stance” of a few UNDP Resident Representatives was unhelpful. Evaluation of results was rarely undertaken, though WHO did more on this than UNIDO.

E. Knew (1970-72), who previously served with FAO, was a UNIDO Adviser and Project Manager in Fiji on the development of a leather industry. His recommendations were rejected by as Minister of Indian origin because a few Hindu families might be affected by effluent. He believed that the project would have gone ahead had the Minister been an ethnic Fijian.

United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) *J.R. Symonds gives an account of the negotiations which led to the establishment of UNFPA and attaches a copy of his report to the Secretary General of UN in 1968 on a proposed action role for U.N. in the population field. This is described more fully in the book which he wrote with Michael Carder on The United Nations and the Population Question (1973). He also comments briefly on a UNFPA mission to India in 1978 of which he was Rapporteur.

K.J.W. Lane (1972-85) served as UNFPA Representative in Bangkok, Tunisia and Morocco and undertook missions in many other countries. He comments on a deterioration in the quality of U.N. officials partly due to the inadequacy of Personnel Officers and also to the sense of impermanence on the part of British nationals. By comparison with the U.K. Civil Service, a serious

35

flaw in U.N. practice was failure to minute decisions. Because of the lack of discipline and amount of “dead wood” in U.N. Agencies, he found an international career less satisfying than one in national government. He had previously been Chief Secretary in the Gambia.

International Atomic Energy Agency *O. Lloyd (1958-74) went to Vienna from FAO to set up IAEA’s Technical Assistance programme and remained for 16 years. He participates in all the Agency’s preliminary assistance missions in Africa and the Middle East. He reflects on political implications and aspects of IAEA’s work. He found great satisfaction in his association with the U.N. Technical Assistance Board at which he represented first FAO and then IAEA.

F.P.W. Winteringham (1969-8) worked with WHO as well as IAEA. He discusses the implications for international organizations of the Chernobyl explosion. In general he sees the need not so much for reforms of the U.N. system as for the education of those aspiring to national leadership regarding the disasters which are likely to occur without international co-operation.

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) O.S. Knowles (1984-80) came to UNCTAD from the Kenya Government treasury Department and served as an Interregional Adviser with UNCTAD. He comments on political and administrative aspects of UNCTAD’s work. Access to his account is restricted. His broad experience included periods with the U.N. Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East, the U.N. Economic Commission for Africa, and the Economic Community of West Africa advising on trade questions. Among his general observations he concludes that U.N. advisers can only be useful if the government has an adequate administration, and that in inter-country projects there must be potential economic as well as political advantages to ensure success. He also comments on duplication and rivalry between agencies of the U.N. system.

J. Mark represented the U.K. Government at UNCTAD where he felt that the staff, though reasonably competent, did not altogether exhibit the characteristics of an International Civil Servant. He considered that the proliferation of international agencies, at the instance of Third World Governments, did not increase development and led to administrative complexity.

D. Williams has contributed a note written in 1972 on the Third UNCTAD Conference at which he represented the U.K. Government. He gives a detailed account of the British position and the reasons for it, and for differing from R. Prebisch’s dictum that “resolutions are the poetry of UNCTAD. They form its inspirations and express its aspirations”.

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) The late Sir Arthur Davies, who was Secretary General of WMO for 24 years, allowed the project to make a copy of his unpublished autobiography. This describes how, even during the Cold War, the World Weather Watch was developed with the joint assistance of the USA and USSR – a notable success for the functionalist approach to international co-operation. Sir Arthur’s U.K. Staff College training helped him to reshape WMO’s administration. The different style of Hammarsjkold, U Thant and Waldheim as Chairman of the Administrative Committee on Co-ordination (the “Cabinet” of Executive Heads of the U.N. system) is also discussed.

International Telecommunications Union (ITU) From ITU the project has two contributions – one from headquarters and one from the Field.

36

D.J. Musk reflects on a career which lasted from 1946 to 1980 at ITU Headquarters in Geneva. Whilst working on the technical side. He was also chairman of the Staff Association. Later he was an Editor and a Personnel officer.

J. Wilmot has sent “Essays” on episodes as a background to technical assistance in Korea.

International Maritime Organization (IMO) Sir Colin Goad came from Whitehall to serve with IMCO (later IMO) from 1963-73 and was its Secretary General from 1968-73. He has written a note for the project, which has also interviewed him and transcribed the tape. IMCO is of special interest in being the only U.N. agency to be based in the U.K. Its relations with the U.K. government are described as “proper rather than cordial”. Sir Colin’s note traces the origins of IMO and the reasons for locating it in Britain; also its evolution from being a small body whose activities mainly consisted of arranging meetings of Experts into one which expanded into the Third World through Technical Assistance programmes. The loss of the Torrey Canyon and consequent popular and governmental concern about pollution is seen as “the making of IMCO”. Sir Colin also reflects on the problems of running an international Secretariat.

M.H. Higgins, who worked with IMCO 1946-49 and 1959-63, has contributed a copy of the record of the case which he brought in 1964 against the Secretary General of IMCO before the Administrative Tribunal for wrongful termination.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) The late John Alexander-Sinclair’s widow has contributed a note by him on the setting up of the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees of which he was Executive Director in 1951-53. He also served with UNRRA, U.N. and FAO. Obituary notices are attached.

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) T.G. Davies (1949-80) served twice as UNICEF’s Representative in India, also covering neighbouring countries; in East and Southern Africa; in the U.N. Bangladesh operation; and at Headquarters. In taped accounts he discusses these assignments and gives an amusing account of how he was initially recruited in the bar of the Great Eastern Hotel in Calcutta with a letter stating that part of his salary would be withheld until the Indian government made a financial contribution to UNICEF. He compares the attitudes of UNDP and UNICEF to development and regards his UNICEF career as very satisfying.

J.M. Saunders has contributed copies of letters to his wife and other papers relating to the period when he was UNICEF Representative in Kampuchea in 1979-8 and was also the Head of the U.N. Team with the rank of Assistant Secretary-General. (Restricted)

United Nations Relief and Works Administration For Palestine Refugees in the Middle East (UNWRA) The project holds three boxes of the papers of the late *D.B.H. Vickers who worked for UNRWA and later became Legal Counsel of U.N. These consist mainly of reports and correspondence.

*C.M. Townsend was seconded from Unesco to UNRWA (1961-63). He comments briefly on a conflict of interests between Unesco and UNRWA.

37

United Nations Institute of Training and Research (UNITAR) Dr. Davidson Nicol, who was Executive Director of UNITAR (1972-82), has contributed a paper on “Research and Training at the United Nations – a Decade of Experimentation and Détente”. This not only relates UNITAR’s achievements, but gives a candid account of the failure of initiatives which were opposed by governments or were sabotaged by vested interests of other U.N. agencies. Dr. Nicol is a national of Sierra Leone, resident in Britain.

*J.R. Symonds, who was UNITAR’s Representative in Europe (1969-71), describes the work which he undertook on the feasibility of a United Nations Staff College and the controversy regarding responsibility for its direction. A copy of the Feasibility Study is included.

PART III SOME REFLECTIONS The League of Nations Secretariat was dominated by the British and French in a careful balance. Thus the first Secretary General of the League, Sir Eric Drummond, was succeeded by his French Deputy, Joseph Avenol; whilst in ILO a British Deputy Director, Harold Butler succeeded the French Director, Albert Thomas. Compromises between the two national administrative systems had to be found. For example, in ILO the French suspicion of a central registry was overcome by giving the Director’s Chef de Cabinet the right to extract items from the incoming mail.1 The staff were bilingual. According to Butler “Letters in ILO were written in French when clarity was required; in English when we wished to appeal to sentiment or imagination”.2

The senior officials recruited to the League in 1919 seem to have been younger than those who joined U.N. in 1945-6, with the notable exception of Commander Robert Jackson in UNRRA. Butler and the two first British Directors in the League, Dame Rachel Crowdy and Sir Arthur Salter, were all still in their thirties. Drummond liked to delegate responsibility and Salter recollected that “We had

1 E. J. Phelan, Yes and Albert Thomas, London, 1936, p. 66

2 H. Butler, Never Glad Confident Morning Again, London, 1950, p. 172.

work which gave full scope for everything in us. It was the happiest time of my official life.1 Junior as well as senior British officials were on the whole fully stretched because the staff was small. The League officials were also comfortable, as Ms. Midwinter Vergin remembers in her contribution to the project.

After the departure of Drummond, the Secretariat became demoralized by the appointment in senior positions of Fascists and Nazis and by the decreasing effectiveness of the League. Some of the ablest British departed before the end.2 A number of them later joined the staff of the U.N. and specialized agencies. Some indeed had continued with ILO in Canada and with the Economic Section of the League in the USA throughout the second war.

Despite the appointment of British nationals as the first Directors General of FAO and Unesco, in the post-1945 U.N. system the British started as junior partners to the Americans. The new system was more Anglophone and less francophone than that of the League. The Americans, in whose educational system précis writing was seldom taught, found the British particularly useful as draughtsmen. The British Civil Service was generally admired and British nationals were appointed in senior personnel posts in many of the agencies. There was something of an Anglo-American mafia of former colleagues in UNRRA who came to hold the key administrative posts throughout the U.N. system.

38

In the early days, New York was a less comfortable and convenient family station for the British than Geneva. “You exist, we live”, said a visitor from Geneva to one of the project’s respondents in New York. The USA was culturally absorptive. Some of the British were happy for themselves and their families to be absorbed. Others – particularly in the McCarthy period – sought transfer to Europe or even to the field.

Geneva, Paris and Rome, all within easy reach of Britain for holidays and schools, were popular posts. Secretaries were recruited by the European U.N. agencies through examinations in London. On the whole they appear to have been happier in Paris and Rome than in Geneva though there is insufficient evidence on this in the project material.

In the contributions received by the project, several themes can be discerned. One is that at the beginning, when international agencies were small, they were efficient, honest and friendly, but that as they expanded they became less competent and politicized partly because of the use of patronage. There is a tendency, however, to look back to the good old days, when everyone knew each other and before bureaucracy deadened the spirit, in most organizations which expand rapidly, whether national or international.

As for patronage, it could be recollected that this had been exercised in the favour of the British in the early days. Sir David Owen, for example, gave plentiful opportunities to U.K. nationals to commence rewarding careers in TAB/UNDP Field posts, which were not subject to geographical distribution. Throughout the U.N. system, more technical assistance experts were recruited from the U.K. than any other country in the 50s and 60s. It was not inequitable that later other nationalities

1 Lord Salter Memoirs of Public Servant, London, 1961, p. 205.

2 Ibid, p. 206 and J. Barros, Betrayal from Within, Yale, 1969.

should be favoured. Richard Hoggart has described “promotion sickness” as the most common cause of unhappiness in Unesco “driving staff members to bouts of frenetic marginal activities or long hours of simply staring over their desks, brooding over diplomatic privileges.1 Most of the project’s respondents, however, appear to have felt that since promotion depended more on geographical distribution than on merit, self-respect could be retained even if it did not take place.

A high proportion of contributors served in the field. Here a common theme is contempt for the ignorance and lack of intelligence of their superiors at headquarters. This is by no means peculiar to U.N. agencies. Similar attitudes can be found abundantly in the correspondence of colonial officials towards Whitehall, or military officers towards the general staff, and even of missionaries towards their head offices in Britain. In the U.N. agencies the feeling was usually mitigated if there were fairly frequent visits from headquarter to the field and a rotation of posts between headquarters and field staff. Most of the former colonial officials who joined the U.N. agencies enthusiastically embraced the new international loyalty, though they tended to be critical of over-staffing, of slow decision-making processes and “politicization”. An experience which helped them to adapt was that most had already served under African or Asian masters in the last stages of decolonisation. Another was that under British colonial administration an officer frequently changed jobs. What seems generally to emerge, despite frustrations, is thankfulness for the experience of a U.N. career when a number of their contemporaries who became redundant ended up as secretaries of golf clubs or in similar positions.

Replies to the questionnaires show that a high proportion of the British were recruited through direct contacts with U.N. agency secretariats. Some came in through influential networks of

39

professional institutions which were widely used by FAO and WHO, whilst U.N. and Unesco tended to circulate vacancy notices to governments, which presented pre-screened candidates for interview. Although in previous projects former senior officials of the League and U.N. systems have been interviewed in connection with studies of particular episodes, our exercise has been a pilot project in seeking to obtain the recollections of as many survivors as possible at all levels. Although the value of the material collected should be considerable to future researchers, it is much to be hoped that similar projects – perhaps with a different methodology – will develop in other countries, so that some of the issues and attitudes which emerge from the U.N. Career Records Project may be studied comparatively within an international framework.

Appendix 3 Some Guidelines for Contributors Contributors are invited to write about their experiences and to give their reflections in whatever way and at whatever length seems best. The following points are not a questionnaire but an indication of some aspects which may be taken into consideration. Because the structure and nature of the Agencies of the U.N. system varied considerably, all of these will not be relevant in each case and other points may be important in particular cases. Examples and incidents (with approximate dates) from personal experience will be particularly valuable in the work of U.N. Agencies. Whilst replies should preferably be typed on A.4 paper, the project will accept handwritten replies. Materials such as diaries, reports, photographs etc. are acceptable in any form. Observations on how objectives of international agencies were set Did they emanate from governments, secretariat or from outside pressures? To what extent were they attained? Reasons for success or failure. Information on preparatory work in setting up U.N. agencies and on their early days may be of special interest; also on the evolution of their policies, programmes and structure. The role of the secretariat and the international official Relationships with government, NGOs and other bodies. How far did the secretariat function as “an international civil service”, and obstacles to this. National characteristics of staff members and delegates and their consequences. The composition and functioning of the secretariat (a) Methods of recruitment, and promotion; intervention of governments in this. Consequences of national and geographical quotas. Methods of assessment of performance. Technical competence of officials. Style of leadership of executive heads and senior officials. The impact of personalities. Staff training and morale. (b) Systems of contracts and salaries: Did these cause “dead wood” to accumulate, or, conversely, did unsatisfactory conditions of service prevent capable people from being recruited or retained? Policies of recruitment and promotion of women in professional posts. The organization of the secretariat, degree of centralization to departments, and divisions, and to regional and country offices. Was the structure efficient in terms of decision making? How far and in what ways were regional and country level offices used for political purposes by the executive head, e.g. to help him to be reappointed? Staff Associations. Interagency co-operation at headquarters, regional, country or project level or through ECOSOC or ACC. Effectiveness of and relations with TAB/SF/UNDP resident representatives. Co-operation, duplication and competition between international agencies. Relations with bilateral programmes and non-governmental organizations. Technical assistance and co-operation and economic and social aid. Observations on how programmes and projects originated and of successes and failures, with reasons for them. Selection and briefing of experts. Relationships with governments, including counterparts. Refugee, relief and rehabilitation work.

Political work. This varies so much that a check list would not be appropriate; examples of successes and failures and the reasons for them will be particularly useful. Peacekeeping work, including Peacekeeping Forces. Research. What limitations were experienced due to lack of published information or co-operation of governments, pressure of time on drafting, intervention of national delegations or of other U.N. agency officials? Were the reports produced effective in fostering U.N. agency, governmental, or other actions? Public information. Whilst all agencies had full time information officers, many other officials also became involved in public information activities. How far were international agencies successful in obtaining recognition of the importance of their work and by what means? General reflections, e.g. (a) What reforms if any are needed in U.N. agencies? (b) For those who were employed in a U.N. agency, how satisfactory was this career? Examples of achievements, failures and frustrations; system of salaries and allowances; effect on families of life abroad; occupation or employment of spouses, education or separation from children; language factors; relations with local community or with national delegations or diplomatic missions.

Papers of the United Nations Career Records Project

Abstract: Recollections and memoirs of UK nationals in Britain or abroad, and of other nationals living in Britain, who were employed by the UN and its Specialized Agencies.

Shelfmarks: MSS. Eng. c. 4655-748, c. 4797, c. 5229 Extent: 96 shelfmarks Scope and Content

The international civil service has undergone a marked expansion since 1945 but remarkably little research has been carried out on the perceptions and composition of United Nations personnel. A number of projects have targeted senior members of UN Agencies (for example studies completed by the Agencies themselves) or personnel involved in specific incidents, such as the interviews carried out by the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale, but until now no effort has been made to record the experiences and opinions of former United Nations officials from throughout the Organization's structure.

Based at St. Antony's College, Oxford, under the Honorary Directorship of Richard Symonds, a retired UN official, the first stage of the United Nations Career Records Project (UNCRP) ran for three years from September 1989. The chief objective was to secure the recollections and memoirs of UK nationals, whether living in Britain or abroad, or of other nationals living in Britain, who were employed by the UN and its Specialized Agencies. Material was also sought from UK nationals who served as Permanent Representatives to the UN, or Government Representatives at conferences or on governing bodies of UN Agencies, as well as from UK nationals who worked with Non-Governmental Organizations accredited to UN Agencies. Although the project is thus primarily concerned with the influence of Britain on the UN (more experts were recruited by UN Agencies in the 1950s and 1960s from Britain than from any other country) there are, exceptionally, materials from nationals of other countries not living in Britain. (A fuller account of this phase of the project is provided in 'The United Nations Career Records Project, Final Report on First Stage 1989-92' by Richard Symonds.)

The contributions take two forms. Respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire by supplying biographical information and details of the length and nature of UN service. In addition to this, they were invited to contribute recollections in whatever form they desired, together with such contemporary papers as they considered appropriate.

The papers are divided into eight sections and each section is arranged alphabetically by respondents' surnames. Each respondent's papers are arranged chronologically by the date upon which the papers were received by the Project team. In the catalogue description which follows the contents of each box of a respondent's papers are listed by the date of the service to which they refer, so the folio numbers do not necessarily run in sequence in the text.

2

The first section contains the larger acquisitions. These include the papers of Viola Fearne concerning occupational therapy with the World Health Organization in Asia, 1971-3; Sir Robert Jackson relating to his time in UNRRA, 1945-7 and as Assistant Secretary-General for Co-ordination, UN 1948, as well as his work with UNDP, 1967-71, and the relief operations he organised in the 1970s; Michael Kaser concerning his work with ECE relating to Soviet Economics, 1951-63, and D. Burnell Vickers UN Legal Counsel, 1960-3, 1966-80, relating to a variety of matters including refugees, relations between UN Agencies and South Africa and Rhodesia and international slavery.

The second section is concerned with smaller contributions, the largest being that received from Klaus Samson, mainly comprising correspondence concerning his International Labour Organization work, 1977-87.

Section Three consists of questionnaires from those sending no contribution other than their completed questionnaire.

Material received from UK Government Representatives forms Section Four. First among these are the papers of William Dodd, relating to his work as UK Representative on the Executive Board of UNESCO, 1983-5, incorporating an extensive set of press cuttings concerning the UK withdrawal from UNESCO, 1983-90. Also included in this section are contributions from Sir Claus Moser, UK Representative to the UN Statistics Commission, 1960s-1970s, Sir Anthony Parsons, Permanent UK Representative to the UN, 1979-82, and Sir Crispin Tickell, Permanent UK Representative to the UN, 1987-90.

The fifth section comprises the papers of military officers serving with the United Nations Force in Cyprus, including Field Marshall Lord Carver, UNFICYP 1964 and Brigadier Michael Harbottle, UNFICYP 1966-8.

Section Six is made up of contributions from Non-Governmental Organization members, including Colonel J. R. Patrick Montgomery of the Anti-Slavery Society, 1963-80, and obituaries of UN officials including Lord Caradon, Permanent UK Representative to the UN, 1964-70.

Interviews with some twenty individuals concerning their UN careers were recorded between 1990 and 1993 by Ron Neath, a retired UN official, and the resulting cassettes constitute the bulk of Section Seven, which includes interviews with Dame Iris Murdoch, UNRRA 1945-6 and Sir Robert Rhodes James, UN 1972-6. This section also contains a number of recorded contributions which describe the work of UN Agencies, including WHO and UNICEF.

The final section contains contributions received after the start of cataloguing in the second stage. These include the contributions of Patrick Guilbride, FAO 1963-82 and Charles Harris, UN Consultant in Local Government 1965, 1968, 1971-2.

The UNCRP computer database, located in Room 132 of the Bodleian, is the primary source of information on the collection. The database has been constructed simultaneously with the catalogue and has enhanced search facilities. It provides rapid, direct access to the portion of the collection in which the reader is interested, by enabling the reader to search the database via the use of keywords such as the country, the subject or the UN Agency (or official) concerning which

the reader wishes to see information. It offers more detailed descriptions of some of the material described in the hard copy, and points the reader to any other papers or items contributed subsequently by the respondent, to be found in the Latest Accessions or Cassettes sections. It also provides printouts of any information required by the reader.

The first stage of the United Nations Career Records Project was funded by grants from the Ford Foundation, New York, and the Rhodes Trust, Oxford; the second by the Ford Foundation.

Restrictions on Access

Certain material is at present closed to readers. Papers contributed by John Saunders concerning UNRRA in Greece, UN in the Congo and UNICEF in Cambodia fall into this category as do less substantial contributions from John Alves, Celia Berry, Oliver Knowles, Anthony Zagni and Douglas Williams, together with several of Col. Patrick Montgomery's papers. Most will be available by the year 2005. Preferred Form of Citation

PART 3. LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS TO STAGE I, THROUGH QUESTIONNAIRES 3.1 Note for readers of the database of contributions to UNCRP Stage 1 (Bill Jackson, Oxford Region, March 2008) At the request of the Executive Committee of BAFUNCS, I prepared this database in early 2008. The main purpose was to extract key information from those contributions (approximately 130) which had been in the form of response to the original Questionnaire only – i.e. with no subsequent depositing of papers, publications or whatever by the respondent. The Bodleian has done a very good job of cataloguing what was received by way of papers and cassettes, and the resultant catalogue is instantly available online, by entering http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/modern/uncrp/uncrp.html

This yields an alphabetical listing of depositors, within categories such as ‘Major’, Minor’, ‘UK Representatives’ and Miscellaneous; and there is an Index of all such names, indeed also of main topics or subjects represented. However, aside from the fact that, understandably, the material deposited is not itself online (to access it, one has to have a reader’s card for the Bodleian, with permission to read manuscript material), there are some drawbacks to this arrangement for BAFUNCS members who may be especially interested in the UNCRP. The catalogue does not give the position/s which the respondent held in the UN or agency concerned. The listing of topics/subjects is rather restricted. And, so far, the category ‘Questionnaires’ does not list the individual names of those who responded by completing the Questionnaire only – they are simply indicated as ‘Alagiah to Muth’ and ‘Naylor to Wright’.

In those circumstances I judged it worth the extra effort to list all contributors, irrespective of category. That said, the following comments are necessary:

1) BAFUNCS members are required scrupulously to respect the privacy undertakings given to the Bodleian for the purpose of our making this database: (please read the attached declaration).

2) The year of birth (and occasionally death) as indicated in the online catalogue is included. Where such figures are in italics it means that I have established a date or dates independently of the catalogue. Likewise, additional information which I have included in italics under other columns has also been gleaned elsewhere (e.g. from the Internet), is not to be found in the papers in the Bodleian and is therefore solely my responsibility.

3) The terms ‘Major’ and ‘Minor’ as applied to contributions represent simply two categories used by the Bodleian and are not intended as any reflection whatsoever on the intrinsic value, as distinct from quantity, of the papers in question;

4) The necessarily very summary details of post/s held is my own, and I apologise for any inadequacies or inaccuracies which it may contain..

5) The word ‘Report’ is used to indicate that (very brief) reference to the material of the given depositor was made in the booklet “The United Nations Career Records Project – Final Report on First Stage 1989-92” dated St. Antony’s College, Oxford, September 1992.;

6) The letter ‘Q’ denotes that the listed person completed a Questionnaire only.

7) ‘***’ signifies that further research of the holdings is needed in order to fill the blank.

8) The penultimate column is entitled ‘Questionnaire respondent intends completing Part 1 also?’ This is designed to allow EXCO to formulate plans for follow-up to Questionnaire-only respondents where judged appropriate and desirable, in order to encourage depositing of papers, cassettes, etc. To this end, I had intended to include postal address, phone number and e-mail address. However, this seemed unnecessary because the BAFUNCS Membership List can readily provide these, and undesirable in view of privacy considerations. In any case, sadly, a significant proportion of Stage 1 respondents will have died since the early 1990s: BAFUNCS archives will doubtless yield several additional death years not available to me.

9) The UNCRP is already a valuable resource. Members, whether modest or distinguished, who have not yet contributed are most warmly encouraged to do so at their earliest convenience!
