From the Editor

Aug 1, 1995

I have referred more than once in these pages to our arrangement with Peace Magazine whereby we pay for publication of eight pages in each issue. Those of you who read Peace Magazine may often feel that the articles published in our section, while interesting and useful, usually have no particular connection with the specific concerns of Science for Peace. The reason for this is that we are not very often offered articles dealing with these concerns. I am sure there are many Science for Peace members who have particular knowledge about matters of interest to the membership as a whole. If you are one of these, won’t you please write a short article and send it to Peace Magazine? The address is 736 Bathurst St., Toronto M5S 2R4.

Science for Peace is planning a campaign to recruit student members when the academic year begins. If you think you might be able to assist in this, you can call Jenny at the Science for Peace Office, 978-3606, between 1 and 5 P.M. on Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

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.
