“Concern for man himself and his fate
should be the chief interest of all
technical endeavors.
Never forget this in the midst of your
diagrams and equations.”
- Albert Einstein

PM Martin Extracts a Promise
“I made four demands of Hillier before I agreed to the [Afghanistan] mission.
– “I want in but I want out”– “Peacemaking and reconstruction”
– Darfur “all the troops I need”– Haiti “if that blows up again”
… none constrained by Afghanistan “or I wouldn’t agree to the mission.”
– Paul Martin, quoted in Janice Gross Stein and Eugene Lang, Unexpected War, p.191

Explaining the disconnect
• Afghanistan
• The Military – CDS Hillier– 3BW– Concentration– Value of peacekeeping– NATO
• The Critics
![Page 42: Canada & UN Peacekeeping: Absent With or Without Leave? Dr. Walter Dorn Canadian Forces College 10 January 2008 UN Photo.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/551433e7550346ec488b60dc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Critics
A “Peacekeeping Myth”?– CF “only” peacekeepers– CF doesn’t need arms as peacekeepers– Canada acting with purely “altruistic” motives– Canada automatically participates– UN useless
“There is little or no point in committing Canada to UN operations until or that deficiency is rectified, should that ever occur.”
- Sean Maloney, Cdn Military Journal, Spring 2007
![Page 43: Canada & UN Peacekeeping: Absent With or Without Leave? Dr. Walter Dorn Canadian Forces College 10 January 2008 UN Photo.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/551433e7550346ec488b60dc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Granatstein: "Who Killed the Canadian Military?"
• “The Pearsonian peacekeeping myth …
continues today to hurt the military
(peaceful intervention leads to the faulty
deduction that there is no need to acquire
arms for the military).
• “Mike Pearson killed the military.”(2004)
![Page 44: Canada & UN Peacekeeping: Absent With or Without Leave? Dr. Walter Dorn Canadian Forces College 10 January 2008 UN Photo.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/551433e7550346ec488b60dc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
“Cold War by Other Means” (Maloney)
The Canadian peacekeeping myth now swung into full operation and the real reasons for Canadian involvement with UN peacekeeping, that is, power projection on behalf of NATO interests, was forgotten or at least deeply submerged in the halls of the Pearson building. There was now a significantly greater willingness to reactivity submit to UN requests for Canadian involvement: Isn't that what Canada just did? We've always done it, haven't we? After all, we invented peacekeeping, didn't we?

9/11 Changed Everything“Walter Dorn remains convinced that there is no life after or outside of the United Nations (UN). Holding such a view was once considered a sine qua non of respectability within the Canadian academic community. Given the events of 9/11, even the die-hard Canadian liberal left has moved on to a more reasoned and responsible position regarding Canada’s place in the world. Dorn has not. He is trapped well within the mystique of the blue beret, a mythological throwback to simpler times.”
- Prof. James Finan & Major Michael Boire, RMC

• “Great Canadian Peacekeeping Myth”– ideology of “Canadian Exceptionalism”: Canada is
different from the US in terms of “moral superiority” (Maloney); Anti-Americanism
– Canada motivated to keep the peace primarily by altruism and moral virtue: “false and misleading” (E. Wagner)
– “Canadian peacekeeping myth promulgated by observers such as Dorn and Newman is false”

Ignatieff Rejects “peacekeeping paradigm”

From the Left
• Canada's Peacekeeping MythBy Richard Sanders
The belief that Canada is a major force for global peace forms the basis of a powerful myth that is integral to our culture. This myth shapes the image that we have constructed of ourselves and moulds the way that others see us. Like all myths, it has very little basis in reality.

PROBLEMS OF UNAIDED MONITORING
Limited capabilities ...
– over large areas
– at night
– for underground detection
– in remote/difficult terrain
– information recording, analyzing, sharing and
storage

Tools of the Trade
Conclusions
1. No technological fix … but technology can be of
immense value in monitoring, preventing and
mitigating conflict.
2. Technical monitoring can increase the safety and
security of peacekeepers as well as the
effectiveness of the mission.

UN Special Committee“45. The Special Committee welcomes the study launched by the
Secretariat on the use of advanced monitoring and surveillance technologies to tangibly improve operational capabilities, achieve results in the field and promote the safety and security of peacekeeping personnel. Recognizing the urgent need for Peacekeeping Operations to standardize the use of advanced technology, particularly in missions operating in dangerous environments or mandated with challenging tasks, the Special Committee requests the Secretariat to develop appropriate modalities for the use of advanced monitoring and surveillance technologies with due attention to legal, operational, technical and financial considerations as well as the consent of the countries concerned with regards to their application in the field.”
Report of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping, 23 May 2007

Monitoring technologies not yet “tools of the trade,” but they can
and should be.
Canada can lead.

“BUILD ON THAT FOUNDATION”
“We made at least a beginning then. If, on that foundation, we do not build something more permanent and stronger, we will once again have ignored realities, rejected opportunities and betrayed out trust.”
– Lester B. Pearson,
Nobel Prize acceptance speech,
Oslo, Dec. 11, 1957
