United Nations Reform

Jan 1, 1994
1 min read

A Workshop on United Nations Reform was organized by Science for Peace at University College, University of Toronto, November 23 & 24, 1993. The express mandate of the Workshop was “to make recommendations on United Nations Reform relevant to the mandate of the Commission on Global Governance.”

The Commission, chaired by Ingvarr Carlsson and Shridath Ramphal, will report in good time for the 50^th^ anniversary of the United Nations in 1995, with proposals for United Nations reform. The recommendations from the Science for Peace workshop, which will be published in Peace Magazine, were transmitted to the Coimmission shortly after the workshop.

The invited papers presented by nine speakers at the workshop will form the basis of a book, with solicited contributions, to be published by Science for Peace and Dundurn Press 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.
