Canada’s military mission has been approved until October, but many questions remain unanswered about the UN’s goals, NATO’s operations, and the prospects for peace in Libya. Should Canada’s military mission continue, change, or cease altogether?
“It is critical to have Canadian eyes and ears on the ground [in Libya] in order to make informed decisions,” Walter Dorn said. “We have to evaluate those in charge, provide humanitarian assistance and help build the peace.”
In today’s interconnected world, Canada’s interests as a trading nation and middle power are best served by working toward a stable and peaceful world. United Nations peacekeeping remains one of the best tools to achieve that, say Dominic Leger and Walter Dorn.
