Description:

With César Jamarillo of Project Ploughshares, and Peggy Mason of The Rideau Institute.

Following the launch of the Defence Policy Review, several Canadian non-governmental organizations came together to brainstorm on key elements of a defence policy for Canada that would contribute to the common security of all states, in keeping with the vision of the UN Charter.  Come and hear Peggy Mason and César Jaramillo discuss how Canada can make sustainable peace and UN-led peace and security initiatives a Canadian defence policy priority. In their respective presentations they will touch on issues from re-engagement in UN peacekeeping and eschewing problematic weapons systems to taking a leadership role in reducing NATO’s reliance on nuclear weapons and championing the humanitarian imperative for nuclear disarmament.
