  • Canada and ‘Re-Engaging’ United Nations Peacekeeping
    Canada and ‘Re-engaging’ United Nations Peacekeeping. A Critical Examination. by Daria Goncharova A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2018 Daria Goncharova ii Abstract With the advent of Justin Trudeau in 2015, Canada appears to be determined to revitalize its historic role as a peacekeeper. Central is whether Canada truly abandoned UN peacekeeping per se. In order to answer this question, the following needs to be addressed. The first relates to the meaning of UN peacekeeping and the evolution of peacekeeping’s aims, tools, and basic principles, such as consent, impartiality, and the appropriate use of force. The second concerns the role of Canada in UN peacekeeping from 1947 to 2017. Given the nature of UN peacekeeping and Canada’s role from 1947 to 2017, the rhetoric of Trudeau government is confusing. Canada never truly disengaged from UN peacekeeping. Rather, for a variety of reasons, it shifted from UN-led to UN-approved peace operations. If the Trudeau government’s re-engagement means he intends to support UN-led missions rather than UN-approved peace operations in contradiction from the current trend, this has several implications that require careful examination. The final chapter articulates some of these implications. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Jim Fergusson. I appreciate his time, patience, guidance, and support. Thank you so much for helping me improve my writing skills and critical thinking.

  • Canada's Defense Policy—Rebuilding
    Canada Institute Commentary | September 2019 Commentary articles represent the views of the author, which may be independent from those of the Canada Institute. Canada’s Defense Policy—Rebuilding Slowly, Deploying Globally By Richard M. Sanders In 2017, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a major defense policy statement entitled Strong, Secure, Engaged. Surprisingly, given his government’s inclination to stress the “soft side” of international engagement—support for women’s rights, human rights more generally and development—in its rhetoric, the paper calls for a 70 percent increase in defense spending over a ten-year period. How has Canada done in implementing the statement’s policy, which entails a major recapitalization of Canada’s armed forces? The record is mixed. The decision on how to replace Canada’s aging fighter aircraft remains far from resolution with the choice of a new fighter pushed back into the future as a competitive bidding process goes forward. The plans to rebuild the Royal Canadian Navy’s fleet, which have also been subject to past delays, seem further along, with key decisions on ship designs made and the first vessels coming out of the yards. Procurement for the Canadian Army, though not wholly immune from issues, seems less ambitious and less troubled than that of its sister services. While they await new equipment, Canada’s armed forces are active globally, although in smaller numbers than during the mid-2000s when a Canadian battle group was fighting hard in Afghanistan. Canada provides the command post in Latvia for NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence in the Baltic states, and has provided training and non-lethal equipment to Ukraine’s armed forces.

  • Royal Canadian Hussars History Documentation Project Individual and Group Experiences of RCH Members During Various Overseas
    Royal Canadian Hussars History documentation project Individual and group experiences of RCH members during various overseas missions during the period from 1976 to 1996 Summary of the Canadian Armed Forces’ involvement in Cyprus The United Nations Peacekeeping operation in Cyprus, which was first established in 1964, was one of the longest running and best known peacekeeping missions involving Canadian soldiers. Cyprus, an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, became an independent country in 1960. Much of the its population was Cypriot Greek, but the island had a large Turkish minority. Before becoming independent, frictions between these ethnic communities grew, leading to strife and violence. In 1963, the Cypriot government asked the Unites Nations (UN) to provide a peacekeeping force to help establish a balance between the intermingled ethnic communities. In 1974, this equilibrium was upset by a coup d’état initiated by some Greek Cypriots who want to have the island become part of Greece. In turn, the Turkish army invaded the island and established control over the northern half. After several weeks of combat, a cease-fire agreement was negotiated. As set out in the agreement, the UN established a cease-fire line (the Green Line) and a demilitarized zone between the two belligerents. The UN peacekeeping force patrolled this zone, which in some places, was only several meters wide. When the line was first established, the belligerents would often exchange gun fire at different spots along the line, but as time progressed, they accepted the situation, and in 1990, relations were less conflictual. Nevertheless, even small changes or minor incidents along the line provoked an emotional reaction from one party or another.

There is a need to study training to understand how Canada’s peacekeepers have been prepared for peacekeeping missions since the creation of the United Nations Emergency Force in 1956.
