Project Ploughshares Annual Report 2016 PROJECT PLOUGHSHARES Swords into Ploughshares Annual Report 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 1 What is Project Ploughshares? Established in 1976, Project Ploughshares is an operating division of the Canadian Council of Churches that supports arms reduction and control, nuclear disarmament, space security, and peacebuilding efforts around the globe. What does Project Ploughshares do? Project Ploughshares promotes informed debate, both in policy-making circles and among the general public, through high-quality research that is then presented to government, before international bodies such as the United Nations, and at roundtables, conferences, and in publications. Can my donation make a difference? Yes! Your donation allows Project Ploughshares to fund research and advance policies that ensure resources and energy are spent on resolving conflict and reducing armed conflict, not feeding it. Kate Holt/IRIN 2 Annual Report 2016 2016 What a year. In 2016, a year in which Project Ploughshares marked 40 years of continuous work, we witnessed often convoluted global developments that affected virtually all areas of our work on international peace and security. We were busy. Not only striving to produce evidence-based research, but communicating the policy implications of such research to a wide range of stakeholders—in and out of government, in Canada and abroad. Some highlights: The Colombian government and FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) reached a comprehensive agreement to end the only remaining conflict of its kind in the Western hemisphere, one which Ploughshares has been tracking for 30 years in our annual Armed Conflicts Report. Ploughshares supported the effective implementation of theArms Trade Treaty internationally, in some of the regions most affected by armed violence. Ploughshares engaged civil society partners and government officials in Canada and beyond to emphasize the urgent need for nuclear abolition and the gravity of the nuclear-weapons threat. In the area of refugees and forced migration, Ploughshares conducted research and analysis on the governance and policy implications of the current migration crisis, examining the key drivers of migration, the implications of different categorizations of migrants, and different national responses to the crisis. I hope you will read through our Annual Report for more highlights of a remarkable year. Cesar Jaramillo Executive Director Cover photo: Laura Jarriel/UN Annual Report 2016 3 NGOs don’t have to be big to work. Project Ploughshares has been an uncompromising and commanding voice on nuclear disarmament and arms ‘‘control and rightly measures success in terms of policy impact. The organization assesses its progress in relation to its overall goal of disarmament, rather than to an arbitrary cost-per-capita metric. But these kinds of organizations are becoming the exception, in no small part because they do not cede to political interests, nor are they conveniently positioned for Point of Purchase donation at Walmart.” Samantha Nutt Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies, and Aid 4 Annual Report 2016 Newsworthy Project Ploughshares has been tracking Canadian military exports since its founding in 1976. Ploughshares’ Canadian Military Industry Database compiles publicly available records of military contracts awarded to MADE IN CANADA Canadian companies as well as annual government records of arms exports to overseas countries. The purpose for collecting the data is to provide concrete examples on where military export policies or their implementation should be improved so that human rights and other humanitarian concerns are foremost in decision- makers’ minds. Throughout 2016, Canadian journalists regularly sought Ploughshares’ research and experts for their reports on Canadian arms sales to Saudi Arabia. In addition, Ploughshares’ staff published opeds, blogs and reports.All of which contributed to a more informed public debate on this important issue.

Annual Report 2016 9 Photo: Laura Jarriel/UN Armed Conflicts Report From January to December 2016, 28 armed conflicts were waged in 26 countries. The continent of Africa hosted of the world’s 43% armed conflicts Africa led in contributions to peacekeeping missions with 49,164 military, For the purposes of the annual Armed police and Conflicts Report, Project Ploughshares defines observer an armed conflict as:a political conflict in deployments. By which armed combat involves the armed contrast, North forces of at least one state (or one or more America provided 198. armed factions seeking to gain control of all or part of the state), and in which at least 1,000 people have been killed by the fighting during the course of the conflict. The United States, China and Saudi Arabia led in world military spending. Once again, the United States outspent all countries by a wide margin, accounting for 40 per cent of global military spending. United States United States Saudi Arabia China China $56.9-billion $145-billion $604.5-billion 10 Annual Report 2016 2017 Highlights No new conflicts were added to this year’s report, and one conflict was removed. In Colombia, FARC rebels and the government reached an agreement to end the country’s 52-year-long civil war. While this agreeement was narrowly rejected in a popular referendum, a revised agreement was approved by Colombia’s congress on November 24, 2016. Despite the peace agreement, Colombia remained on the 2016 Armed Conflicts Report. An armed conflict is deemed to have ended if: • there has been a formal ceasefire or peace agreement and, following which, there are no longer combat deaths (or at least fewer than 25 per year); or • in the absence of a formal ceasefire, a conflict is deemed to have ended after two years of dormancy (in which fewer than 25 combat deaths per year have occurred). In August 2016, after over 40 years of conflict, the National Democratic Front (NDFP) and the Filipino government agreed to a ceasefire and resumed peace talks. Fewer than 25 CPP/NPA conflict deaths were reported in each of 2014, 2015 and 2016. The Philippines CPP/NPA conflict was thus removed from the ACR in 2016. The Philippines Mindanao conflict remains on the report. The Syrian conflict, with almost 50,000 fatalities, was the deadliest in 2016. According to unofficial Armed conflicts continued to United Nations figures, total fatalities in Syria— displace people at an alarming since the conflict began in 2011—have exceeded rate. According to the UNHCR, 400,000. 65.6 million people remained displaced worldwide at the end of 2016.

    Annual Report 2017 Mission Vision War Child’s mission is to work with war-affected War Child’s vision is for a world communities to help children reclaim their childhood where no child knows war. through access to education, opportunity and justice. War Child takes an active role in raising public awareness around the impact of war on communities and the shared responsibility to act. War Child Canada Board of Directors Michael Eizenga (Chair) Denise Donlon Nils Engelstad Omar Khan Jeffrey Orridge Elliot Pobjoy All photographs © War Child Canada Cover illustration by Eric Hanson © Eric Hanson Beneficiary names have been changed for their own protection. Letter from the Founder and Chair Dear Friends, To listen to some commentators talk about human rights, you would think that they represent the most restrictive system of regulations, designed to threaten the sovereignty of democratically elected governments. But take a look at the Universal Declaration and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it is hard to see where the controversy lies. The right to life, liberty and security. The right to freedom from slavery or torture. The right to free expression. The right to an education. The right to be protected from harm. These are not onerous obligations on government but rather the basic protections one should expect, particularly for children, from a functioning state. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is War Child Canada’s guiding document. As you will read in this report, everything we do is in support of the rights enshrined within it. While the Convention is directed at governments, the responsibilities it describes can be equally applied to non-government organizations, community leaders and ordinary citizens.

  • Samantha Nutt, M.D
    Samantha Nutt, M.D. For 15 years, Dr. Samantha Nutt has been at the frontline of many of the world's major crises – from Iraq to Afghanistan, Somalia to the Congo, and Sierra Leone to Darfur. As one of the most original and influential voices in the humanitarian arena, she is a go‐to authority for many of North America's leading media outlets. In 1995, 25‐year‐old Nutt, a recent medical‐school graduate and a field volunteer for UNICEF, touched down in Baidoa, Somalia, "the City of Death." What she saw there – gangs of young men roaming the streets armed with rocket launchers; a woman in a clinic line holding a dead baby; an aid agency working in such an unsafe environment that its workers had to travel with armed escorts high on drugs – would spur her onto a lifetime of passionate advocacy for children and families in war‐torn areas around the world. It also provided the basis for her forthcoming book, Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies, and Aid, a brilliant account of her experiences providing hands‐on care in some of the world's most violent flashpoints while building the world class nonprofit War Child North America. Combining original research with her personal story, the book is a deeply thoughtful meditation on war as it is being waged around the world against millions of civilians – primarily women and children – and an exposé of how we facilitate and fuel these seemingly faraway atrocities. Laying out real solutions to these problems, Dr. Nutt shows how to move beyond outdated notions of charity towards a more progressive, inclusive, and respectful worldview.
