The Envoy : Inside Syria Peace Negotiations

During the months before the fall of Aleppo, we gained exclusive access to Staffan de Mistura, the UN’s special envoy for Syria and symbolic representative of the international community. We followed him at work as he tried to rouse the UN into action and stop the Russian-backed bombardment. A rare and fascinating look at process of diplomacy, when an institution’s espoused values collides with realpolitik.
