Canadas role in UN peacekeeping missions has decreased more than any other developed country in recent years, “with only 34 Canadian military personnel participating in peacekeeping missions worldwide.” Twenty years ago, the country ranked as world leader in troop contributions with approximately 3,300 in the field. Today, it is 65th among the 193 UN member states, an all-time low when UN operations are at an all-time high. “This is an outright abandonment. Any description that tries to minimize that is creating a falsehood in Canada’s position,” says Romeo Dallaire.
