Memorandum to the New un Secretary-General
Community Learning and University Policy
For at least a decade now, the University of Winnipeg (U of W), an urban institution on Treaty One land in the heart of the Métis Nation, has challenged existing academic models and practices, and has incorporated strategies that address the social divide between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in order to more effectively serve the learning needs of its surrounding community. This article demonstrates how an inner-city university has used …
New Technology for Peace & Protection
New technological advances in areas such as digital information, algorithmic forensic data analysis, autonomous surveillance vehicles, advanced robotics, and multispectral sensors (sometimes all working together) can help avert war, introduce more effective peacekeeping and peacemaking initiatives, lessen the impact of conflict on innocent people, and help rebuild war-torn states. When international humanitarian action becomes urgent, by way of k…
R2p
Recent tragedies in Burma, Zimbabwe, Congo and Darfur demonstrate in all too dismaying terms that the international community has a long way to go towards ensuring that when a government manifestly fails to protect its population from a humanitarian catastrophe the precepts of national sovereignty don't trump human rights. The promise of the principle of the “responsibility to protect” (R 2P), embodying the imperative of international action to p…

Lloyd AxworthyToronto: Knopf Canada, 2003, xiii, 450pp, $37.95 cloth (ISBN 0-676-97463-5)Lloyd Axworthy was Canadian foreign minister for four and a half years, from early 1996 to fall of 2000. It was in many respects a good time to be foreign minister, especially from a Canadian point of view. Canadians are always unusually preoccupied with Great Neighbour, and Great Neighbour, in those days, was governed by Bill Clinton and Democrats, generally…
Human Security and Global Governance
The meaning of security is being transformed. Security traditionally has focused on the state because its fundamental purpose is to protect its citizens. Hobbled by economic adversity, outrun by globalization, and undermined from within by bad governance, the capacity of some states to provide this protection has increasingly come into question. This incapacity is particularly obvious in war-torn societies. The state has, at times, come to be a m…
The Mouse is Mightier than the Sword
Grand Chief Phil Fontaine, the head of Canada’s Assembly of First Nations, once gave me a wonderful gift — a talking stick. It is a technology that goes back thousands of years — for when handed to the user it is supposed to imbue the speakers’ words with courage, honesty and wisdom — not always guaranteed, alas, because that depends on the person holding the stick. For our First Nations people it carries great significance and responsibility — w…
A Ban for All Seasons
The Ottawa ProcessOn 3-5 December 1997 in Ottawa, representatives from 122 countries signed a convention to eliminate the manufacture, use, and export of anti-personnel landmines. Witnessing them were the secretary-general of the United Nations, Canada's prime minister, delegates from some twenty other observer countries, and a host of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and humanitarian groups.As the number of signatories mounted to unpreceden…
Neighborly Love
Canada and Human Security
The end of the Cold War was hailed by many at the time as the beginning of an era of unparalleled peace and prosperity. There was enormous optimism that the international community, released from the grip of superpower rivalry, would turn its attention to global problems, such as poverty, the environment, and population growth. The economic forces unleashed from the constraints of centrally planned economies would create new wealth and raise livi…
The Minister Writes
In recent weeks there have been a number of inaccurate reports concerning government services available to Indochinese and other refugees. The nature and extent of the misinformation currently circulating on this subject have compelled me to address the issue per- sonally. While we all recognize that it is extremely difficult to correct any media misinterpretation of the facts, I am con- cerned that the media coverage may distort the public under…
