From the Editor

Jan 1, 1994
1 min read

For a number of reasons we have decided to limit the material published in this Bulletin, to a large extent, to items dealing with Science for Peace. These will include reports on past activities and announcements of forthcoming meetings, such as are presented in the present issue. Items of more general interest and concern will appear in the space that we purchase in Peace Magazine. We again urge members of Science for Peace to subscribe to this excellent magazine if they are not already doing so, not only for our own material but for the many other valuable articles that appear in every issue.

Members are invited to submit contributions either to the Bulletin or to Peace Magazine.

We remind you that membership renewal notices were sent out in mid-December. If you have not yet responded, please do so as soon as you can.

We wish you all peace and happiness in 1994.

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.
