Original Language: English Contents: English Transcription Christopher Westdal Canada Oral history interview conducted by Michal Onderco by Skype on 17 February 2017 Michal Onderco: Okay, well, thank you very much for finding the time to talk to me and to, to discuss with me your participation in the 1995 NPT Review Conference. Chris Westdal: Okay, well, listen, I’d gladly speak with you, but I should explain the context. I was Canada’s Ambassador for Disarmament twice, once for a year, 1995 and in that year, I did the NPT Review Conference, and then later, 1999 to 2003, I was Canada’s Ambassador for Disarmament in Geneva to the Conference on Disarmament, to the First Committee, and to the NPT. So, I was present at both the 1995, and particularly, the 2000 NPT Conference. Among other things I find now that I haven’t thought about these things for decades intensely, that I mix up my memories of the two events. I just might want to ramble a bit about some memories, some of them, both because I think your ambit is quite broad, and you’re looking at how multilateralism works and so on.

    Group of 78 Luncheon Speaker Series Chris Westdal Ukraine Can’t Move DATE: Tuesday October 28, 2014 TIME: 12:00 noon (sharp) PLACE: Palais Imperial Restaurant, 311- 313 Dalhousie St., Ottawa COST: $30 for luncheon and presentation $5 for presentation only (For presentation only, please plan to arrive by 12:45 p.m. Coffee and tea will be available.) RESERVATIONS: [email protected] or 613-230-0860 by Friday October 24, 2014 We regret that late registrations cannot be accepted. The group is required to pay for those who reserve but do not come. Therefore, individuals who do not cancel their reservations at least 24 hours before the luncheon will be billed $30. ***************************************************** Chris Westdal states: “The zones of security interest and influence around major powers like Russia are real. We Canadians know that; we live in one. In the real world, Ukrainians are about as free to adopt security policy hostile to Moscow as we are to do the same to Washington. Canadian relations with Ukraine will long be animated by the active interest and concerns of our million-strong Ukrainian diaspora. As our leaders put it, we are Kyiv's ‘most certain friend ... proud to be loudest.’ Our soaring Lone Hawk rhetoric, though, dare not be taken too seriously. We are friends always willing to do what we might - through close diplomatic and official links, a sustained aid program of technical cooperation, and large teams of election observers. The record of decades of our effort, though, makes plain that it is beyond us to comprehend sufficiently, to help guide or to contribute much to the rescue, the reform and the future progress of Ukraine.

Original Language: English Contents: English Transcription Tariq Rauf Canada Oral history interview conducted by Michal Onderco by Skype on 20 June 2017 Michal Onderco: I want to start again by thanking you for finding the time to talk to me. I like to at the beginning always place the people within the National Delegation. So how did you become the advisor to the national delegation and what was your position within the Delegation? Tariq Rauf: Yeah, so in Canada, I worked at the Canadian Center for Arms Control and Disarmament in Ottawa. This was an independent research center on arms control funded mainly by the Foreign Ministry. But it was completely independent. They didn’t exercise any control over us and many times we were critical of the Canadian government’s policy. And for the Foreign Ministry, this was part of Canadian democracy: supporting a think tank, which may or may not agree with government policy. So our think tank was like the Arms Control Association in Washington in the general sense, partly advocacy, partly research. And we were also asked to testify before the Parliamentary committees on national defense and also arms control.
