The research reported in this paper was conducted in 2005 by Derek Brett, representative of CPTI to the United Nations in Geneva, and was funded by a grant from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. The Quaker United Nations Office, Geneva, made a substantial contribution to printing costs to allow the production of a longer report than had initially been anticipated.
