The seven-decade quest to maximize Canada’s continental shelf
For Canada, establishing sovereignty over its continental shelf resources has been a law of the sea priority since the Second World War. Large quantities of oil, gas, and minerals are contained in the seabed; hence, there is a strong economic imperative to establish coastal state jurisdiction. Historically, instead of taking unilateral actions, as many coastal states have, Canada has preferred multilateral channels. At the First and Second Confer…
Can the United Nations Do Anything
The persistent question of whether United Nations is doing good job, which simple-minded pollsters keep putting to their publics, puts issue upside down. The United Nations cannot do anything; only its members can. International institutions are not ends in themselves; they are means to ends. They are not self-propelled; they have to be used with wisdom and foresight by member states.John W Holmes, 1986'The above quotation by John Holmes - distin…
Canada at the United Nations 1945-1989
For the past 60 years, Canada has remained a stalwart supporter of the United Nations (UN). Canada's performance at the UN today is predicated on its long history of participation in that body, and knowledge of this history is essential to a thorough understanding of current developments. This article draws lessons from Canada's involvement with the UN, beginning in the early 1940s when plans for the UN were first being discussed and ending in th…
Canada's Human Security Agenda
INTRODUCTIONHuman security is a central pillar of Canadian foreign policy; hence it is important to determine the government's efficacy in this area.

Individual Leadership and Structural Power
This article examines the interrelationship between and the relative importance of individual leadership and structural power in promoting (or impeding) regime implementation. The theoretical debates on structural power and individual leadership are related to a particular case of regime implementation: the efforts of the Preparatory Commission on the International Seabed Authority and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to make the…
United Nations Reform
Edward C. Luck, President Emeritus, Senior Policy Advisor, United Nations Association of the United States of America This book is important reading for anyone interested in the future of the UN.

The diversity of views and subjects reflects the breadth of the UN's global agenda and the exemplary contributions Canadians have made to the world body. Many of Canada's …

Canada and the International Seabed
This stronger alliance gave priority to negotiating an internationally acceptable treaty and safeguarding Canada's land-based nickel industry. A second coalition - officers from the Department of Finance, the Department of Industry, Trade, and Commerce, and the Ministry of State for Science and Technology - contended that the push for quantitive restrictions diverted attention from the more crucial areas of protection of technological and financi…
State Autonomy and Canadian Foreign Policy
The article assesses the utility of Eric Nordlinger's statist approach in explaining Canada's policies on deep seabed mining at the United Nations Third Conference on the Law of the Sea. Nordlinger argues that government decision-makers in liberal democratic societies enjoy considerable autonomy in translating their preferences into public policies even when opposition is mounted by major groups outside government circles. Nordlinger's thesis on …
Deep Seabed Mining
culmination of nine years of complex negotiations at the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of Sea (unclos hi). Of all the issues covered by the convention, those pertaining to deep seabed mining proved to be the most contentious because the interests of the developed and developing countries were frequently diametrically opposed. The Western industrialized states were both major mineral consumers and potential deep seabed mining countrie…
