When Eritreans went to the polls in 1993, their overwhelming vote in favour of becoming a sovereign state brought a formal end to one of Africa's longest wars. A major success for United Nations electoral assistance operations, the referendum also contributed greatly to stability in the Horn of Africa during a particularly volatile period in the region's history and provided yet another illustration of the intrinsic links between democratization, development and peace. This publication includes more than 40 key documents relating to the UN's involvement with Eritrea. A detailed chronology of events is also included.
