Canadian peacekeeper in 1976 wearing the distinctive UN blue helmet

Canada's role in the development of, and participation in, peacekeeping during the 20th century led to its reputation as a positive middle power.[1][2] Canada's strong support for multilateralism and internationalism has been closely related to its peacekeeping efforts.[3][4][5] In the late 20th and early 21st century, the Canadian public came to identify the country's peacekeeping role as one of the country's top international identifiable contributions.[6][7]

Prior to Canada's role in the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis, the country was viewed by many as insignificant in issues involving the world's traditional powers.[8] The Suez Crisis saw future prime minister Lester B. Pearson ease tensions by proposing the inception of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force, for which he was awarded the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize.[9] The country's successful role in the Suez Crisis gave it credibility and established it as a nation fighting for the common good of all the world's nations and not just its allies.[10] Canada has also faced controversy in the past over its involvement in some foreign countries, notably the 1993 Somalia affair.[11][12]

Canada has served in over 50 peacekeeping missions, including every UN peacekeeping effort until 1989.[13] This resulted in Canada provided the greatest amount of UN peacekeepers during the Cold War.[14][15][16] Since the mid-1990s, Canadian direct participation in UN peacekeeping efforts has greatly declined, with Canada directing its peacekeeping participation to UN-sanctioned military operations through NATO, rather than directly through the UN.[17] More than 125,000 Canadians have served in international peacekeeping operations, with approximately 130 Canadians having given their lives during these operations.[13] Canada was the eighth-largest financial contributor to UN peace operations in 2022.[18]

History

The notion of peacekeeping is deeply embedded in Canadian culture and a distinguishing feature that Canadians feel sets their foreign policy apart from its closest ally, the United States.[19][7][20] Canada's foreign policy of peacekeeping has been intertwined with its tendency to pursue multilateral and international solutions since the end of World War II.[21][22] Prior to Canada's role in the 1956 Suez Crisis, the country was viewed by many nations as insignificant in global issues.[8] Canada's successful role in that conflict gave it credibility and established it as a middle power fighting for the "common good" of all nations.[23] Vorlage:External media Canadian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lester B. Pearson is considered to be the father of modern peacekeeping.[24][25] Pearson had become a very prominent figure in the United Nations during its infancy and found himself in a peculiar position in 1956 during the Suez Crisis:[26] Pearson and Canada found themselves stuck in the middle of a conflict between their closest allies, being looked upon to find a solution.[27] During United Nations meetings, Pearson proposed to the security council that a United Nations police force be established to prevent further conflict in the region, allowing the countries involved an opportunity to sort out a resolution.[28] Pearson's proposal and offer to dedicate 1,000 Canadian soldiers to that cause was seen as a brilliant political move that prevented another war.[27] Vorlage:External media Prior to the creation of the formal UN peacekeeping system, Canada had engaged in UN intervention operations, notably the 1948 mission in the second Kashmir conflict,[29] and played a central role in the International Control Commission (ICC), which tried to broker peace in Vietnam beginning in 1954.[30] UN high-profile missions include those in Congo (1961), Cyprus (1964), Lebanon (1978), Angola (1989), Somalia and the Balkans (1992), Rwanda (1993), Croatia (1995), East Timor (1999), Haiti (2004), Mali (2013), and observation missions in the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights during the mid-1970s.[31] Since 1989, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have been involved in peacekeeping missions related to training law enforcement personnel,[32] notably the United Nations Civilian Police Mission in Haiti (MIPONUH) from 1997 to 2000[33][34] and the NATO led mission in Afghanistan called Resolute Support Mission from 2003 to 2014.[34]

Some argue that Canadian troops may not always have the necessary training or resources to successfully navigate complex and volatile environments, leading to mixed results in their peacekeeping missions.[35][15] Another criticism of Canadian peacekeeping is the perceived lack of clear objectives and strategy.[7] Additionally, some critics have raised concerns about the ethical implications of Canada's peacekeeping operations. In some cases, Canadian troops have been accused of being complicit in human rights abuses or failing to adequately protect civilian populations in conflict zones.[36]

In 1993 the Canadian Armed Forces were deployed during the Somali Civil War to support UNOSOM I,[37] Soldiers from the Canadian Airborne Regiment killed a civilian that was escaping after breaking into their encampment to steal supplies. A week after, members of the airborne regiment tortured and killed a 16-year-old youth that broke into the encampment.[38][39] Coined the Somalia affair, the incident has been described as "the darkest era in the history of the Canadian military".[38][40] In the spring of 1994, Canadian peacekeepers were deployed to the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda. The mission was criticized for the perceived failure to prevent or intervene in the genocide that occurred in the country, dispite Canadian General Roméo Dallaire (commander of UNAMIR) warning top to UN officials.[41][42] "A period of reassessment" took place after these incidents,[43][44] followed by a significant decline in Canadian direct participation in UN peacekeeping efforts.[13] Canada would begin to direct its participation to UN-sanctioned military operations through NATO, rather than directly to the UN.[17]

Participation

More than 125,000 Canadian men and women military personnel, civilians, diplomatsVorlage:Sndincluding over 4,000 Canadian police officersVorlage:Sndhave served in peacekeeping operations.[45][13] Canada's ongoing participation in United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (Operation Snowgoose) that began in 1964, has seen over 33,000 Canadians serve.[46] The loss of nine Canadian Armed Forces personnel when their Buffalo 461 was shot down over Syria on August 9, 1974, remains the largest single loss of life in Canadian peacekeeping history.[47][48] The United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti saw the loss of life of two Canadian RCMP peacekeepers as a result of the 2010 earthquake.[49] Approximately 130 Canadians having given their lives during peacekeeping operations (123 in UN missions).[13]

Canada participated in every UN peacekeeping effort from its inception until 1989.[50] This resulted in Canada having provided the most amount of UN peacekeepers during the Cold War.[16][15][14] Canada's "high point" of participation took place in April 1993, when there was 3,336 Canadian UN peacekeepers,[51] with a record low number of 34 UN designated Canadian peacekeepers in August 2020.[51] In March 2024, there were 59 Canadians deployed in UN peacekeeper missions, resulting in Canada being the 69th-largest, out of 120, personnel contributor.[52] Canada's military in the same period had over 3000 personnel deployed overseas in multiple non-UN operations related to peacekeeping, emergency responses, military training, humanitarian assistance, and law enforcement assistance.[53]

In 2022, Canada was the eighth-largest UN peace operations financial contributor,[54] allocating $2.49 billion for UN organizations including those related to peacekeeping, policing services, climate change and humanitarian efforts such as medicine and food distribution.[54] Canada's total military expenditure in the same period was approximately $26.9 billion, or around 1.2 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).[55]

Recognition

The Peacekeeping Monument commemorates the Canadians who participated in peacekeeping activities.[56]

The Somalia Medal, a campaign medal created in 1992 to recognize Canadian military personnel who participated in the international military coalition invasion to stabilize Somalia, has been awarded to 1,422 individuals.[57] In 1992, Reconciliation: The Peacekeeping Monument was completed, commemorating Canada's role in international peacekeeping and the soldiers and police officers who have participated and are currently participating, both living and dead.[58] The 1995 Canadian one-dollar coin displays the Peacekeeping Monument.[59] This commemoration was followed by the 2001 $10 Canadian banknote named "remembrance and peacekeeping" that depicts a female peacekeeper.[60] In 1988, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United Nations peacekeepers, inspiring the creation of the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal in 1999 that has been awarded to over 75,000 Canadians.[61][62] Since 2008, after a campaign by the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping, August 9 has officially been National Peacekeepers' Day in Canada,[63] with ceremonies taking place throughout the country at memorials and Peacekeeper Parks.[64]
