"Marcel A. Boisard (born Geneva 1939) is a Swiss intellectual and diplomat. He completed his studies in Switzerland, Germany and the United States and obtained his PhD from the Graduate Institute of International Studies. He started his international career in early 1960s with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. He was recruited by the Government of Burundi for conducting negotiations with the European Economic Community, within the framework of Yaoundé Convention on Europe-Africa Association. Appointed Chairman of the African experts, he participated in numerous meetings. At different times of his career and at different levels of responsibilities, Boisard served the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), exclusively as delegate in the field and during armed conflicts: Algeria, Yemen, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. He was often called upon to cross the front lines between the belligerent parties and negotiate cease-fire and humanitarian truces. He had to watch over the application of the Geneva Conventions for the protection of wounded military, prisoners of war and civilian populations in armed conflicts of the Middle- East. He participated in the release of the royal family of Yemen and the repatriation of Egyptian prisoners in 1963, he organized the simultaneous repatriation of Israeli prisoners and agents and Egyptian prisoners of the Six-Day war, in 1968Marcel A. Boisard : « Il y a cinquante ans, Israël récupérait tous ses agents ». Le Temps, 23 janvier 2018, and he negotiated, in September 1970, the liberation of Western hostages hijacked to Dawson’s Field airport in JordanMarcel Boisard, in Alexander Bligh: Israeli Prisoner of War Policy, p 178. In 1975, he was appointed Research Fellow of the Graduate Institute of International Studies. Beside lecturing and conducting a research programme on East-West relations, Boisard published rather extensively: over 30 titles (books and articles), dealing mainly with cross-cultural relations, Muslim and Arab worlds, multilateral negotiations and inter-governmental organizations. Quote from the Book review of Foreign Affairs of Fall 1979, on L’Humanisme de l’Islam : “Knowledge, understanding, and a broad view mark this work, which is both an exposition of the history and values of Islam and a plea for the extension of current concepts of international law and relations to reflect the diversity of the world’s cultures and religions”. The book has been the subject of a dissertation by Ms. Roberta Mendola, at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature of the University of Genova, Italy, in 2008. In 1980, he joined the United Nations. In 1992, he was appointed Executive Director of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). In 2001, he became Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations. UNITAR is one of the primary training providers in the field of multilateral diplomacy and economic and social development. Each year, the Institute was at the time organizing over 200 programmes for the benefit of some 30,000 persons. They benefited some 100 States, including some rather "closed" nations, such as the Democratic and Popular Republic of Korea, the Libyan Jamahiriya, Myanmar, etc... Boisard was known for advocating diplomacy in place of military solutions, and internal solutions in place of imposed external solutions, in conflict zones such as the Niger Delta. He relinquished his functions in February 2007. Since then, he published extensively in newspapers with large international audiences and in specialized reviews. His last book, entitled "Une si belle illusion; réécrire la Charte des Nations Unies", has been well received. Quote from the Review Choisir: "Far from being a severe manual, the book is pleasant to read and stimulates the intelligence and the sensitivity of the readers" Marcel André Boisard was bestowed with the Order of Merit of the Arab Republic of Egypt, by late President Anwar Sadat.

""Psycho Man" is a single by heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was originally released on the Reunion album in 1998, and was the first of two new singles from the album, the other being "Selling My Soul." The song reached number 3 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. The song was later included in Ozzy Osbourne's 2005 box set Prince of Darkness. The music and lyrics were written by singer Ozzy Osbourne and guitarist Tony Iommi. "Psycho Man" and "Selling My Soul" are the only Black Sabbath songs to be credited just to these two members. In Canada, the song reached number 24 on the RPM charts. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/028020/f2/nlc008388.6995.pdf In 1999, "Psycho Man" was remixed by Danny Saber for No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees; music critic Robert Christgau regarded it as a highlight of the album. As a drum machine would be used for "Selling My Soul", "Psycho Man" would prove to be the last original Black Sabbath song to feature Bill Ward on drums.
