Features: The Chinese in the United Nations, 1945—2003 is a book dedicated to the study, documentation, and recollections of Chinese civil servants working and engaging in activities within the United Nations, spanning from 1945 to 2003. The book primarily features individuals who served in the United Nations Court of International Justice and the Secretariat. The main focus of the book is the Chinese civil servants who held positions in the United Nations Secretariat. At the beginning of the volume are two comprehensive essays: "An Overview of the International Civil Service System of the United Nations" and "A Historical Review of Chinese Civil Servants in the United Nations." The former systematically examines the international civil service system of the United Nations, while the latter provides a holistic overview of the historical development, current status, and future prospects of Chinese civil servants since 1945. Both authors bring extensive experience as former United Nations international civil servants, as well as deep knowledge and research into the United Nations' personnel system and the historical evolution of Chinese civil servants. These two essays are highly academic, historically significant, and practically valuable, serving as the guiding introduction to the entire book. At the end of the volume, a comprehensive list of all Chinese civil servants who worked at the United Nations from 1945 to 2003 is compiled, including both former and current personnel. This was an arduous and time-consuming effort, making it an invaluable source of material for studying the relationship between China and the United Nations.
