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 includes individuals who served in two key UN institutions: the International Court of Justice and the Secretariat. The main focus of the book is on the Chinese civil servants who held positions in the United Nations Secretariat. At the beginning of the book are two comprehensive essays: "An Overview of the United Nations International Civil Service System" and "A Historical Review of Chinese Civil Servants in the United Nations." The former systematically examines the United Nations' international civil service system, 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 not only extensive experience as United Nations international civil servants but also profound knowledge and research into the United Nations' personnel system and the historical evolution of Chinese civil servants. The academic rigor, historical depth, and practical value of these two essays serve as a guiding introduction to the entire book. At the end of the book is a compilation of the full list of Chinese civil servants who worked at the United Nations from 1945 to 2003, including both former and current members. This was an extensive and labor-intensive effort, making it an invaluable resource for studying the relationship between China and the United Nations.
