Students for Peace

Sep 20, 2002
1 min read

Students for Peace is the new student chapter of Science for Peace, located at the University of Toronto. The group, which is beginning its activities this September, will bring together students from all disciplines in order to learn about and discuss problems of peace, justice, and sustainability.

The group will use film screenings, speakers, discussion groups and more to facilitate education on issues related to the SFP agenda. This will include nuclear disarmament, human rights, the environment, sustainable development, global conflicts, weaponization of space, democracy and the like. Our objective is to foster a climate of open, fruitful dialogue, where all reasonable points of view are given voice, where diversity of opinion is encouraged, and where conventional wisdom can be openly questioned.

For more information or to get involved, please contact David Sandomierski (dsandomierski@canada.com) or Alex Mazer (mazer@canada.com).

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.
