The Production Unit was composed of three principal sections: Radio, TV/Video, and Print/Graphics. The Radio Section operated Radio UNTAC, which, at its peak, broadcast fifteen hours a day. Both the Radio and TV/Video Sections produced programmes dealing with issues such as political parties, political violence, voter registration, the Special Representative's activities, and the like. Prints/Graphics published and/or printed materials ranging from comic books to government documents to posters.
