- Marcel_André_Boisard abstract "Marcel A. Boisard (born Geneva 1939) is a Swiss intellectual and diplomat.He completed his studies in Switzerland, Germany and the United States and obtained his PhD from the Graduate Institute of International Studies. He started his international career in early 1960s with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. He was recruited by the Government of Burundi within the framework of the negotiations with the, then, European Common Market. Appointed Chairman of the African experts, he participated in numerous meetings. At different times of his career and at different levels of responsibilities, Boisard served the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), exclusively in the field and during armed conflicts: Algeria, Yemen, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. He was often called upon to cross the front lines between the belligerent parties and negotiate cease-fire and humanitarian truces. In 1975, he was appointed Fellow of the Graduate Institute of International Studies. Beside lecturing and conducting a research programme on East-West relations, Boisard published rather extensively: over 30 titles (books and articles), dealing mainly with cross-cultural relations, Muslim and Arab worlds, multilateral negotiations and inter-governmental organizations.Quote from the Book review of Foreign Affairs of Fall 1979, on L’Humanisme de l’Islam : “Knowledge, understanding, and a broad view mark this work, which is both an exposition of the history and values of Islam and a plea for the extension of current concepts of international law and relations to reflect the diversity of the world’s cultures and religions”. The book has been the subject of a dissertation by Ms Roberta Mendola, at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature of the University of Genova, Italy, in 2008.In 1980, he joined the United Nations. In 1992, he was appointed Executive Director of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). In 2001, he became Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations. UNITAR is one of the primary training providers in the field of multilateral diplomacy and economic and social development. Each year, the Institute organizes over 200 programmes for the benefit of some 30,000 persons. Boisard was known for advocating diplomacy in place of military solutions, and internal solutions in place of imposed external solutions, in conflict zones such as the Niger Delta. He relinquished his functions in February 2007.Marcel André Boisard was bestowed with the Order of Merit of the Arab Republic of Egypt, by late President Anwar Sadat.".
