Abstract
Abstract Throughout and following the UN and US intervention in Somalia, religious experts, such as Pope John Paul II, were largely ignored. Between 1992 and 1995, the Pope provided five constructive principles of intervention, and if these principles had been taken seriously the outcome in Somalia would have been better. In addition, the Pope and the diplomatic corps of the Holy See suffered personally with the Somalis; 22 people in a Somali Catholic mission were among the first to be killed in the Somali crisis in 1989. Religious leaders, such as the Pope, are a valuable source of detailed and intimate knowledge of many crisis situations.
