From the Editor

Jan 1, 1999
1 min read

We would remind members of Science for Peace that this Bulletin is only one of our periodic publications. The other is Peace Magazine, which is partly supported by us, and is an excellent source of news and background information on a wide variety of matters of concern to all who seek to advance the cause of peace and justice in the world. Recent issues have contained, among many other contributions, authoritative articles on the International Criminal Court, the Middle Powers Initiative and the continuing threat of nuclear weapons, as well as accounts of recent events in Chiapas, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Algeria and other places where conflicts are occurring or peace is precarious. We urge you all to read this valuable magazine and to subscribe to it if possible.

We hope to publish the next issue of this Bulletin about the beginning of April. Please send any contributions to the Science for Peace Office by March 1.

May 1999 be a year of peace, prosperity and happiness for everyone.

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.
