82.32. Action By Members Of Science For Peace

May 7, 1982
1 min read

Science For Peace is described in our manifesto as an organization which “will be action oriented: it will define itself by its actions, which will normally be taken by individual members or sub-groups”. If we are to suceed in making a significant contribution towards achieving our objectives, members of Science For Peace must make personal initiatives.

In this issue of the Bulletin members are urged to take the following actions:

  1. 82.14. – recruit new members and form Chapters of Science For Peace across Canada.

  2. 82.15. – renew their own membership and consider joining the Canadian Peace Research and Education Association.

  3. 82.17. – promote Disarmament Referenda and consider joining Operation Dismantle.

  4. 82.19. – write your MP about the ISMA proposal.

  5. 82.20. – write to Prime Minister Trudeau supporting the Minority Report on Security and Disarmament.

These actions constitute the minimum set for effective participation in the work of Science For Peace. We need much more — “your ideas, energy and involvement to help us confront the deadly threat of war waged with weapons of mass destruction”. We need personal initiatives of members in research and education directed towards peace.

The organizational structure of Science For Peace reflects this need. We now have an expanded Executive, which includes as well as the president, secretary and treasures also executive directors for the Bulletin, for Education and for Research.

E-7705 

An important e-petition about Canada peacekeepers headcount

Science for Peace believes the UN peacekeeping mission program is an important tool for minimizing conflicts around the world. Guided by impartiality and undertaken only with the consent of warring parties, missions under this program are critical in the efforts to transition violent societies to peace.

 

We know that Canada has a long history of supporting these missions and has earned a significant reputation for its expertise in this area. Thus we have been dismayed by the fact that the actual number of Canadian peacekeepers has been drastically reduced over the last decade. Despite the paucity of our country’s contribution, we know that Canada is nonetheless recognized for its leadership and know-how.

 

We want to dramatically enlarge the contingent of Canadian Peacekeepers and play our part in the worthy project of reducing violence in this turbulent world. As well, in light of ongoing changes in Peacekeeping technology, we believe Canada should invest majorly in tech training and support for our Peacekeepers, and at the same time furnish such skill development to countries less able to provide this for their own contingents.

 

To focus public attention on this critical issue, we have created an e-petition to the government and are seeking your support.

Please have a look and sign e-7705 if you agree.
