We invite you to learn more about four of these conflicts;  Suez 1956, Congo 1961, Bosnia 1992, and Mali 2014.<br /><br /> Hear the stories of 16 people relating their experiences at the heart of the conflicts, and their lives in Sweden.  Those who went on UN missions tell us about their choice to do so, and what it was like to come back home again. There are other stories, too, from family members, about what it was like to be left behind, at home. All these stories share a common core – courage.","backgroundTitle":"The United Nations","backgroundText":"In the shadow of the Second World War, an organization was founded to create peace in future conflicts. The founders of the UN nurtured high hopes that the organization would prevent conflicts, and render any future wars impossible. These hopes have yet to be fulfilled, but so far, the world has been spared another world war.<br /><br /> During the Cold War, the world was divided into two ideological blocs, with the United States on one side, and the Soviet Union on the other. This division made any agreements and peace efforts very complicated.<br /><br />  The UN was formally founded by the five great powers of China, France, The Soviet Union, Great Britain and the United States are, since then, permanent members of the UN Security Council, with veto rights. This means the nations can prevent decisions about efforts in which they do not want to take part. The efforts are not always about humanitarianism and solidarity alone. Sometimes, politics and the differing interests and positions of various nations outweigh such concerns. Where the aid is directed might depend on where it is of most use to the aiding nations.","quoteText":"”It’s difficult to say which is which – courage or adventure”","quoteName":"Carl Axel Blomdahl –
