Primary sources / OR edit
I tagged this section for primary sources, as it relies on this IPN catalog entry. Even putting aside the question of IPN reliability on these matters, the dossier entry conflicts with itself - e.g. he's on leave 6.12.1948-1.09.1950 partially overlapping with being in the UN delegation 6.10.1949-24.06.1951. Some of the text on top of the IPN entry doesn't match the service record on the bottom. Furthermore, I tagged this for OR as some of the text doesn't appear in the dossier itself (e.g. the responsibilities of these various units) - it is unclear from where this came from and whether it was accurate at the time of his service (as organizations do change).

And more sepcifically, the whole segment from 1949 to 1956 is particularly very loosely based on the source (for 1948-1951 the source conflicts with itself, and 1951-1956 describes the assignment in a manner that isn't in the source).
