presents:

Benny Widyono After serving as a provincial director in the United

Nations Transitional Authority on Cambodia
(UNTAC) in 1992-1993, Dr. Widyono was named
personal representative of the United Nations
Secretary-General in Cambodia in 1994. He
remained in that post until 1997 when he retired
from the United Nations after 34 years. In
retirement, Widyono has served as an economic
advisor on Southeast Asian issues both in academia
and in the business world. Since 2006, Widyono is
Professor of Economics at the University of
Connecticut at Stamford. His book Dancing in
Shadows: Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge and the
United Nations in Cambodia, published in 2007 is
not only a political memoir but also an account of
the flawed efforts at UN peacekeeping and the
inadequacies of the international response to
genocide in the aftermath of the Cold War.
