of fear and distrust to rebuild peace in a war torn society. When bitter
conflict on Bougainville Island ended in 1997, the combatants invited the

island and contributed to the success of the world¹s first unarmed
international peacekeeping operation.

According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the

so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
