| - Andrew Thomson is a New Zealand born UN doctor and co-author of the international best seller "Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures" Graduating top of his year from Auckland School of Medicine in 1983, Thomson has dedicated his life to humanitarian aid. He has worked as a medical officer in the UN in New York, Cambodia and Haiti. He has also worked with the international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda. His main work was in exhuming mass graves to gather forensic evidence to prosecute government officials. Thomson's interest in humanitarian work came about when he was a medical student at the University of Auckland where he befriended Vary a Cambodian student who was one of the 60 doctors who survived the notorious killing fields. "Emergency Sex" was published in October 2004 in a shroud of controversy as officials as high up as Kofi Annan tried to stop the book from being published. Thomson was sacked for his role in the book but with the help of the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower's association, Thomson was reinstated and promoted. The book has been optioned for television. Randall Wallace, script writer for Braveheart, is working on the screen play. In 2006 Thomson received a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Auckland. Thomson is currently a Senior Medical officer with the UN but is currently living in Cambodia with his wife and daughter. (en)
