FROM: MAJOR PLANTE, WAMIR FORCE PROVOST MARSHAL DATE: 29 OCT 94 SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT WITH THE UN MAJOR J-G PLANTE, CANADIAN ARMED FORCES, SECURITY BRANCH 1. In Apr 94, prior to leaving UNOSOM II for a posting to c UN~~IR, I filled out and forwarded to UNHQ my United Nations Personal History Form. I included a copy of my CV, which had been prepared just before leaving Canada for Somalia. At that time, my intention was to apply for a civilian job with the United Nations in a security related field. 2. As part of UNOSOM II, I was employed as the Senior Police Liaison Of cer wi the Somali Police, mainly responsible for their training and operations. Please find enclosed a copy of my Performance Evaluation Report. 3. On arrival in UNAMIR, on 18 Apr 94, MGen Dallaire temporarily employed me as his Deputy Logistic and Transport Officer. Ten days later, I was appointed as the UNAMIR Militar Spokesman. 4. I took that job to heart and over the subsequent months, I did my best to develop a good relationship with the various news media from around the world that came to cover UNAMIR's activities in Rwanda. Daily, and at times two to three t a day, I briefed the press, which on occasions, included up to 50 international journalists. Our records indicate that over 650 press members visited UNAMIR since early May 94. Please find, enclosed, several letters concerning my work as a Spokesman. 5. I have now served 31 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, both as an enlisted men and as an officer. During my career, I have been employed as a Military Policeman and as a Security Branch Officer and worked in many parts of the world. 6. I have also had the good fortune to serve on missions with the United Nations including ONUC, UNEF II, UNOSOM II and UNAMIR. have also, r short period of times, been employed UNFICYP c and in Lebanon. 7. Today, I am prepared to leave the Canadian Forces at 30 days notice, and look forward to embarking on another career with the UN. 8. Although nearly all of my training has been associated with Police, Security and Administration, including courses at the Canadian Police College and Canadian Forces Staff College, I nevertheless feel that the very intense daily exposure to the press I have had as a Military Spokesman in Rwanda enhances my versatility for a civilian job with your organization. Since I have always liked to travel, I am prepared to work anywhere in the world and on a very short notice. 9. Submitted for your consideration, Sir. c (I UNOSOM UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN SOMALIA TESTIMONIAL Major Jean-Guy Plante from Canada is a hardworking, dedicated and professional officer who puts in his optimum efforts to accomplish the assigned c mission. In UNOSOM II he has carried out a key roll as Senior Liaison Officer, Somali Police (SLO-SP). He proved his effectiveness and initiated a comprehensive programme which is going to be a solid foundation for the Somali Police. Major Jean-Guy Plante is a very good administrator and has the ability to plan, organize and implement his ideas. He has been successful in carrying out the Force Commander's commitment in the mission area. He is strongly recommended for future UN missions. c SIGNATURE: NAME: FULVIO VEZZALINI RANK: COLONEL APPOINTMENT: A/COS (MIL) DATE: 21 APRIL 1994 +6139927015 J3-0PS/NDOC/OTTAWR 625 P02 .TUN 30 '94 1i: .

Wells, CD c 1- July 1994 Dear I appreciate your comments in your 5 Jun 9~ FAX Note and find personal satisfaction, as Branch Adviser, that Maj Jean GUy Plante is serving you, UN~1IR and indeed the CF so well in the publi9 relations role. From all accounts, it is readily apparent that your job is a different one, from an operational viewpoint and the personal tragedy that you witness each day. The electronic capability the media these days can add to your frustration if that aspect is not we Ll, addresse.d. Jean-Guy, through not working in his area of professional expertise, seems to have a natural calling and is meeting the bill in assisting you in this area. c The Canada Day Photo, as you are aware, received immediate recognition from the Canadian Public of the demanding situation you face and the efforts you are ~akin9 to address humanitarian needs under the most diffiCUlt of circumstances. The DM e~pressed his appreciation for this media coup by an MP officer and Jean GUy can be proud of such recognition. r can attest that it doesnft come easily. May I offer my personal apprecia~ion to you for allowing the Security Branch (through Maj Plante) to participate in the UNJ01IR Operation. Please pass my well done to Jean GUy for living up to your expectations. Haj or CeneralRomeo DE:; i La; re, UC:': United Nations Assis~a~ce ~ SIC: P.O. Box 30481 Nairobi 20 July 1994 General Romeo Dallaire UNAMIR Kigali Dear General, I am writing to pass on to you our admiration for the excellent arrangements you have put in place for media liaison within UNAMIR. We have heard from many journalists, Canadian and international, about the remarkable assistance they have received from your contingent in Kigali, and particularly from Major Plante, who acts as press spokesman. They invariably find him open, professional and accurate in his press statements. They also welcome the fact that you yourself find the time to speak to them, despite the competing pressures for your time. The logistical arrangements put into place for visiting media are first class, and this despite the very real constraints you face in providing transport and accommodations for the visiting media. The result has been very positive media coverage for UNAMIR and, I might add t for the Canadian Armed Forces. Congratulations!

Signal from Australian Land HQ dated 280406Z Oct 94 B. Reply signal from AUSMED dated 020730Z Nov 94 1. At Reference A, Australia expressed concern that RwandatellRwandan Government are attempting to interfere with the operation ofthe Australian National Rear Link (AS NRL) communications. It appears that approaches have been made to Intelsat in Washington, to have the AS NRL service which are provided by an Australian company Telstra, suspended. One can only speculate that these moves have been made in an attempt to gain some financial benefit from the service. 2. My communications and legal staffhave investigated this matter in detail. This included discussions with Force Communications and Rwandatel authorities. The following information was ascertained: a. No known approach has been made to other contingents. b. Legal advice confirms that the AS NRL facility is allowable under the Status ofMission agreement signed between the Rwandan Government and the UN. c. Director Rwandatel advised that he was directed by the Minister for Telecommunications to pursue the matter with Intelsat Administration. Although the minister understood that the facility was to be operated as the AS NRL, they were concerned that no formal notification ofsuch was received. 3. My legal officer believes the matter is one which should be addressed by UN NY direct to the Rwandan Government instead ofgetting the Australian Government or Telstra involved as the issue directly relates to the UN - Rwandan Government Status ofMission Agreement. 4. I request that you endorse the recommendation ofmy legal officerand ask HQ UN NY to pursue the issue at their level. fi~0MM ~.~ W.

This came as a surprise to me as I was not made aware of the magnitude of the situation. It is my intention to review this situation with the Force Commander with a view to ensuring increased levels of understanding and cooperation between all UNAMIR personnel. The relationship between the military and the administration, as well as all other UNAMIR components, is of paramount importance to me and to the smooth functioning of the mission on a daily basis. I would be grateful for an account of any instance where there was a disagreement/lack of understanding that may have arisen, hampering the smooth implementation of projects or routine tasks. This should include dates, full documentation and an account of how the situation was resolved, citing the relevant military branch/unit concerned. If no situation of discordance between your section/unit and the relevant military branch/unit exist, please so indicate. Reports should be submitted to my office by no later than close of business on Tuesday November 8, 1994. The integration meetings that are currently being held, as emphasized by Mr. Medili, Director DPKO, are testimony to the priority the Force Conunander and myself give to the smooth flow of information and ideas between the military and ourselves. It is up to each one of you as Section or Unit Chief to use your initiative and good judgement to ensure that the momentum of the integration meetings carries on to the implementation and post implementation stages and that the administrative side of the Mission performs to its maximum potential. cc: SRSG FC ED DFC/COS TAC HQ Butare fi.L Co "".-.."",t' tA.....Ct• OPS 222 '7~ 'fJL f{-v'~ .....t-.t-~'t{iaA 7/11 lJ6November 1994 11 M4 Distribution List MANNING OF G2 CELL - TAC HQ References: A.

The ceremony was attended, among others, by senior Rwandese Government officials including the Vice President and Defence Minister, Maj. Gen. Paul Kagame, as well as representatives of c UNAMIR, including the CIVPOL Commissioner and the Political Adviser. In his statement on behalf of UNAMIR, the CIVPOL Commissioner, Cheick Oumar Diarra recalled the request made by the Rwandese Government three months ago for UNAMIR's assistance for the setting up of a police force, the main component of which is the gendarmerie. He said UNAMIR had responded favourably in order to help meet Rwanda's urgent needs in the area of public security. The cadets and officers who graduated today, he pointed out, represented the first batch of the new Rwandese gendarmerie. Col. Diarra also indicated that the next phase of UNAMIR's assistance in this field would entail the training of 300 more cadets to be followed by the training of instructors. Although the training programme was designed by UNAMIR which also provided the bulk of instructors (5 CIVPOL officers), Col. Diana thanked the Government of Rwanda, and in particular the three Rwandese military officers who had also served as instructors, for facilitating the successful completion of the programme. On his part, Maj. Gen. Kagame, from the outset, expressed his Government's "sincere gratitude" to UNAMIR "for helping to stabilize the situation in Rwanda, specifically by participating in the training of a gendarmerie force to help ensure internal security." He said that the task ahead for the young gendarmerie graduates was a particularly difficult and challenging one as they will be called upon to execute their duties in a manner that would show a clear and positive difference between the present and former Governments and also to help ensure that criminals were held accountable and brought to justice. In this connection, he stressed that while the former Government forces, rather than protecting the population, had instead perpetrated heinous crimes against them, the forces ofthe new Government were committed to seizing every opportunity to acquire the necessary professional training to enable them to serve and above all protect the people of Rwanda. He denounced misdeeds by individual elements of the security forces, warning that such acts could be exploited to tarnish the Government's image. .../... - 2 Maj. Gen. Kagame was particularly critical "of those members of the international community" whom he accused of trying to sully the image of Rwanda's new army and Government. He expressed his Government's concern that while the international community was "feeding criminals and others in refugee camps in Zaire, Tanzania and elsewhere," whom he said were planning more killings, it was, at the same time, denying assistance to the people of Rwanda. Visibly irritated, he stressed that "the same people who had stood hy while Rwandese were indiscriminately being massacred lacked the moral credibility to impose their views on the Rwandcse Government and people." In his view, the RPA deserved credit "for almost single handedly" ridding Rwanda of the former "murderous" regime. Maj. Gen. Kagame concluded his remarks hy stating that his Government had the capacity and will to defend the country. He therefore called on the armed Iorces to work together and to avoid repeating the same errors made oy the former regime. Sammy Kum Buo Political Adviser cc.: SRSG FC ED CIVPOL Commissioner NOTE FOR THE FILE VISIT TO MUGUNGA REFUGEE ChMP NEAR GOMA 5 NOVEMBER 1994 TOTAL APPROXIMATE POPULATION 200,000 {no hard figures exist} SALIENT POINTS: 1. On the way to the camp, noticed mUltiple squatters on the road. Asked to UNHCR rep about this, and she replied that they can/t control this new movement. So in spite of UNHCRls policy not to process refugees which are out of campsi they have been forced to feed them. No census is available on the squatters; seems to me UNHCR is being held hostage in present situation. e 2. Sanitary conditions inside camp very precarious. 3. Visited CARE Germany dispensary. Asked about percentage of births. In that particular dispensary 3-4 a day. Asked about inventory of sickness, was told usual disentery, malaria and recently measles...... 4. UNHCR offlce In camp un-protected. Just a large tent. A rope divides small office from gathering crowds. 5. On a walk through the camp saw several uniformed men. UNHCR said that some may be real military. others may just have bought gear to show off (who is selling them?). Saw also individuals without uniform wielding machetes. 6. At the main entrance to the camp saw many money changers. They do dollars into Rwandese francs. Saw pick ups coming in with goods to sell and beer. 7. It was clear to me that the sheer number of people within the limited space was umanageable. Any hostility can skyrocket into a major riot with certain casualties. Aid agencies and UNHCR proper do not sleep in c amp , security is in the hands of militia who continues intimidation. Rumours circulate that Mille Coliines Radio will begin retransmitting again. UNHCR employees believe that UN Radio will not be very effective against intimidation. Work has to be done inside the camp. (I ask myself, how?) 8. The control of foodstuff is entirely in the hands of the so called Prefects and Camunal leaders. UNHCR also stated that they can't really tell who is part of the militia and who isn't 9. My concern thus is that if the UN is thinking of a 1000-2000 force for Goma it will not be enough. This force should not only be well equipped, but it should be given riot control equipm~nt and definitely should come under Chapter VII. While it will not be possible to separate the sheep from the wolves, the force should be able to protect the aid agencies operating there if they stay. 10. The UNHCR rep in Goma is sympathetic to transit stations inside Rwanda, while the UNHCR people here are not. He understands that there is a security problem within the camps that should not be transferred to Rwanda. He also believes that many will remain behind because they are guilty of crimes and will be afraid of reprisals. 11. The Kigali UNHCR rep seems to believe that the Government has changed position regarding transit or centers d'accueil. I do nothave that impression. c Isel Rivero , ..M,H KIGAj enWANC,,'\ ;~11t·-\:-- 4 '- " _...... COMMCFN;~ , / (.I' (-l ,,> Nairobi t -4 Noveillber 1994 '()f.

ImLIEF AGENCIES DEMAND ACTION 3 November 1994 - We the undersigned ernational humanitarian organisations working or supporting operations in refugee camps in Goma, Zaire, declare that the current relief operations are untenable. Living and working conditions for refugees and aid workers in the camps are becoming unacceptably dangerous. We strongly support the October 21st statement by the United Nations High Commissioner Re es regarding deteriorating security conditions in the camps: Furthermore: 1. Under present conditions, the UNHCR is prevent from fulfilling its mandate of protecting and assisting refugees. 2. The work humanitarian organizations is largely comprised to the current power structure within the camps. When a workers attempt to intervene on behalf of victims of discriminatory ices, the I are threatened. c 3. The reI f operation is unsustainable. Refugees are denied the right to return to the homes, equal access to humanitar aid, protect , and the guarantee of basic human rights. They remain hostages. The undersigned humanitarian organizations assert in order to provide equit e assistance and protection, t following conditions must be met: 1. Those structures within the camps wh ch incite violence ag t refugees and srupt the de ivery of humanita aid must be s ted from ma body of ref s. 2. All arms must be removed from the camps. 3. Security must established so that an official and independent registrat may be carried out. C 4. Protection of refugees must fully guaranteed; refugees must be free to or return to their homes without intimidat or fear for their lives. 5. Relief agencies must be permitted to del humanitarian assistance without hinderance from the current power structure within the camps. Aid workers are increasingly outraged that they are becoming unwilling accomplices. Unless there is an immediate and tangible effort to bring about positive change in the camps, the undersigned international agencies may forced to withdraw the assistance from the camps. We ins that the Uriited Nations and international community take immediate and decisive action.

Sites visit BRSCICMC reps on 3 Nov 94 B. Letter from DOCS Sp dated 1 Nov 94 C. Letter from DOCS Sp dated 2 Nov 94 1. Ref A has been initiated to clarify the situation regarding the two waste dumping sites identified in ref B and the waste dumping site across the Blue Beret Camp BBC (ref C), formally the Belgium village. 2. It is evident from ref B sites visit that UNAMIR has been involved in the past to some extent in the accumulation of waste at both locations (Nyarutarama and Rubungo). In the Nyarutarama site, waste accumulation is very limited and will require only half a day of work to clear and dispose of the waste. A work order will be initiated by this office for the removal of garbage and the cleaning of the surrounding area. 3. In the Rubungo site, half of the waste accumulation is related to UNAMIR (evidence of very old dumping) but the other half of the waste is far from being recent and is from unknown sources. Two solutions can be envisaged in cleaning this site to original state; gather all waste into one common location about 500 meters from the road, burn it and buried the remaining in a pit, or collect all waste and transport it to the approved Nyanzi waste disposal facility. The first option is the recommended solution since it involves less work in cleaning the waste site. Formal authorization would be C required before proceeding with site cleaning usnig option one. 4. Ref A visits of the dump sites at the BBC (ref C) has shown that BRSC cleaning staff were using a 20 rn? space on the other side of the road in front of the main entrance of the camp as a garbage collection point. This practice has stopped since this morning. BRSC will clean the collection point and built a garbage bin. The inspection visit has further revealed that a second garbage bin is required behind the kitchen area due to the arrival of the catering contractor. A work order will be raised by this office for the construction of two garbage bin. 5. It must be made clear that BRSC is not responsible for the disposal of waste at ref B locations. Since partial responsibilities falls on UNAMIR for the accumulation of waste in both sites, it is recommended that a WOR be initiated to clean both location. It is also recommended that a representant for the Prefect of Kigali be present during the QA 1/2 • process so that he can attest that UNAMIR has clean both sites. It is further recommended that a memorandum be sent to all UNAMIR units enforcing the policy that only the Nyanzi site can be used for waste disposal. /P'fP" '-' , , 2/2 j' O. tIox :Rl'l~ I Nlliroo" Kel1Y~ TEl.: /254.:)) 2i 4~04 FAX TRANSMITTAL HEADER FAX NmffiER: (254..2) 21·6485 DATE: November 3, 1994 To: MGen G.

It has recently been brought to my attention that, despite instructions having been given that an area of the headquarters was to remain reserved for military and political briefings, your staff continued to develop plans to change its function to that of a cafeteria. It took my personal intervention to resolve this issue. I feel that this incident is only one example of the lack of understanding that has grown between our staffs. and I am dismayed that a rOllt ine matter which should be coordinated below our level has been Elevated. 2. f lease be fully awar« that my staff operate on my guidance aliI! instruction; they speak on my behalf and carry n~ authority.

The Amoharo is the United Nations' only strategic site in Rwanda. It is a military and political headquarters, and has to appear as such. In this regard thank you for your efforts in removing the stored vehicles from the compound.

You asked for my advice on the attached minute from Military Observer Group HQ. The proposed extensions would not conflict with the Force Commander's policy on maximum tour length, so there can be no objection on these grounds. 2. I have ready asked New York for a statement on the situation regarding Military Observer rotation over the coming period and been promised one shortly. If, as appears likely, there is not an immediate replacement for each of the Observers due to leave, it makes sense to seek extension those officers meeting the following criteria: a. The officer wishes to stay. b. The extension wo~ld not result in a tour length of more than one year. c. His performance has been such that the chain command c lS prepared to retain him. 3.

The maintenance of this level of Chl0I111C is to ensure that pathogenic micro-organisms arc unable to multiply or survive in the water containers and bladder systems used to store and transport treated water. This level of chlorine will also counteract the possible growth oforganisms through the use of contaminated containers. 3.

I was most grateful to Ambassador Khan and yourself for the detailed briefing you provided on my arrival and also for the provision of the air transportation both into Rwanda and whilst in country. I was greatly impressed by all that I saw of UNAMIR's activities throughout Rwanda. The daunting scale of the humanitarian problem and the organisational feat of drawing together the activities of the disparate NGOs was very obvious to me and represents an enormous challenge. The uncertainly of the future, the need for stable internal Government and the Ambassadors point about the need for more flexible UN funding were all forcibly displayed during my 30 hours in country. Once a formal request has been received from the UN, I will invite the Central Staff to look again at the Foden problem but there will be many factors drawn into play here and I can promise nothing. Finally, I was delighted to hear that BRITCON has provided you with strong support and regret that our commitment to this mission requires us to leave so soon. ,/. h~~ UNITEI> NATIONS NATIONS UNIES ASSISTANCL MISSION F()~ RWANDA MISSION POOR I 'ASSISrANCE All RWANDA From: Col K P O'Kelly DCOS (Sp) HQ UNAMIR Extn: 11109 To: Gen Sp Svcs Copy to: Office of SRSG MA to FC CLO CSS CMC File Reference: ~oo. \ Il-O~-1-l: l) c Date: 1 Nov 94 Subject: WASTE DISPOSAL 1.

Please advise me of the situation so that I can prepare an appropriate reply for SRSG/s signature. 4.
