Kanadische Friedenssicherung
Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Good article

Canada has served in over 50 peacekeeping missions, including every United Nations (UN) peacekeeping effort from its inception until 1989.[1] More than 125,000 Canadians have served in international peacekeeping operations, with approximately 130 Canadians having died during these operations.[2] Canada's strong support for multilateralism and internationalism has been closely related to its peacekeeping efforts.[3][4][5]
Canada's role in the development of and participation in peacekeeping during the 20th century led to its reputation as a positive middle power.[6][7] Canada's successful role in mediating the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis gave it credibility and established it as a country fighting for the common good of all nations.[8][9] The Canadian public came to identify the nation's peacekeeping role as one of the country's top contributions in international affairs.[10][11]
Canada faced controversy over its involvement in some peacekeeping efforts resulting in a military reassessment in the late 1990s.[12] By the 21st century, Canadian direct participation in UN peacekeeping efforts greatly declined, with its military participation reallocated to UN-sanctioned operations through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).[13] This military reallocation resulted in a shift towards more militarized and deadly missions, rather than traditional peacekeeping duties.[14]
Foreign relations context

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.[16][11][17] 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.[18][19][20]
Canada's central role in the development of peacekeeping in the mid 1950s gave it credibility and established it as a country fighting for the "common good" of all nations.[21] Canada has since been engaged with the United Nations, NATO and the European Union (EU) in promoting its middle power status into an active role in world affairs.[22]
Canada has long been reluctant to participate in military operations that are not sanctioned by the United Nations,[23][24] such as the Vietnam War or the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.[23][24] Canada has participated in US-led, UN-sanctioned operations such as the first Gulf War, in Afghanistan and Libya.[23][24] The country also participates with its NATO allies in UN-sanctioned missions, such as the Kosovo Conflict and in Haiti.[23][24]
History
Inception of peacekeeping and national symbol
Vorlage:Further Vorlage:External media Lester B. Pearson, the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, 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.[25] Pearson and Canada found themselves mediating a conflict involving their closest allies when the United States opposed the British, French, and Israeli invasion of Egypt.[26] 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.[27] 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.[26]
Pearson would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 and be called "the father of modern peacekeeping" for his role during the Suez Crisis.[28][29][30] He would go on to serve as the 14th Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968 overseeing the creation of the distinctly Canadian flag that is worn by Canadian peacekeepers.[31] During the Suez Crisis, Pearson was disturbed when the Egyptian government originally objected to Canadian forces in view of the fact that Canada's Red Ensign contained the same symbol (the Union Flag) used by the United Kingdom, one of the belligerents.[32] Both peacekeeping and the Canadian flag would be regarded by Canadians as distinguishing internationally recognized features of Canada.[33][34]
Peacekeeping efforts
Canada participated in every UN peacekeeping effort from its inception until 1989.[1] 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.[35] Since 1953 Canada has been involved in the first international unified command (UNCMAC) in support of the ongoing armistice between North and South Korea,[36] and played a central role in the International Control Commission (ICC), which tried to broker peace in Vietnam beginning in 1954.[37]
Vorlage:External media High-profile UN peacekeeping missions involving Canada include those in Congo (1961), Cyprus (1964), Lebanon (1978), Angola (1989), Somalia (1992), Rwanda (1993), East Timor (1999), Haiti (2004), Mali (2013), and observation missions in the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights during the mid-1970s.[38] Canada also participatied in multiple missions in the Balkans with the UN, NATO and the EU in Croatia from 1991-1995; Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992-2010; Kosovo from 1998-1999; and the former Republic of Macedonia in 2001.[39]
Since 1989, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have been involved in peacekeeping missions related to training law enforcement personnel,[40] notably the United Nations Civilian Police Mission in Haiti (MIPONUH) from 1997 to 2000[41][42] and the NATO led missions in Afghanistan for over a decade.[42]
Personnel contributions

Canada provided the most amount of UN peacekeepers during the Cold War with apromently 80,000 personnelVorlage:Sndequivalent to 10 percent of total UN forces.[43][44] In all, 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] Approximately 130 Canadians have died in service of peacekeeping operations, with 123 of these deaths occurring during UN missions.[2] Seven Canadians have been UN force commanders and two Canadians have been commanders of UN observer missions.[46]
Canada's ongoing participation in United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (Operation Snowgoose) that began in 1964, has seen over 33,000 Canadians serve.[47] Canada's largest contribution of approximately 40,000 personnel and resulting in 23 deaths, took place from 1992 to 2010 in the Balkans during and after the Yugoslav Wars.[48] The death of nine Canadian Armed Forces personnel when their Buffalo 461 was shot down over Syria on August 9, 1974, remains the largest single death toll in Canadian peacekeeping history.[49][50] The United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti saw the death of two Canadian RCMP peacekeepers as a result of the 2010 earthquake.[51]
Canada's "high point" of participation took place in April 1993, when there was 3,336 Canadian UN peacekeepers,[46] with a record low number of 34 UN designated Canadian peacekeepers in August 2020.[46] 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 combat roles, peacekeeping, emergency responses, military training, humanitarian, and law enforcement assistance.[53]
Peacekeeping assessment
Vorlage:Further-text Vorlage:External media Some argue that Canadian personnel may not consistently had the necessary training or resources to successfully navigate complex and volatile environments, leading to mixed results in their peacekeeping and peace enforcement efforts.[54] Other criticisms include the perceived lack of clear objectives,[11] and non fulfillment of personnel commitments in the 21st Century.[55][56][57]
Canadian troops have been accused of being complicit in human rights abuses,[58] notably in 1993 when the Canadian Armed Forces were deployed during the Somali Civil War to support UNOSOM I in a peace enforcement capacity.[59][60][61] Soldiers from the Canadian Airborne Regiment tortured and killed a 16-year-old youth that broke into the encampment.[62][63] Coined the Somalia Affair, the incident has been described as "the darkest era in the history of the Canadian military" and led to the disbanding of Canada's elite airborne regiment.[62][64]
Canadian troops and the UN system have been accused of failing to adequately protect civilian populations in conflict zones,[65] notably in 1994 when Canadian troops 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, dispite Canadian General Roméo Dallaire warning top UN officials of an impending humanitarian crisis.[66][67] On 11 January 1994, General Dallaire, commander of UNAMIR, sent his "now infamous genocide fax" to UN headquarters, stating [the informant] has been ordered to register all Tutsi in Kigali to prepare "for their extermination".[66]
Military reallocation in the 21st century
A period of reassessment took place in late 1990s within the Canadian military and the United Nations after the Somalia and Rwanda missions.[68] This led to the UN Security Council reducing the number of new operations,[69] and thus a significant decline in Canadian direct participation in UN peacekeeping efforts.[2] Canada began redeploying its military efforts to multilateral UN-sanctioned operations through NATO, rather than directly to the UN by the turn of the century.[13] Vorlage:External media The military reallocation in the 21st century resulted in a shift towards more militarized and deadly missions, where Canadian troops were tasked with combat and security support roles rather than traditional peacekeeping duties.[14] Most notably in several missions and campaigns in support of the global war on terror.[70][71] Canada's participation in the Afghanistan war saw 165 Canadian deaths, the largest for any single Canadian military mission since the Korean War.[72][73] Many within Canadian society expressed opposition to Canada's combative roles in Afghanistan on the grounds that it was inconsistent with Canada's historic role of peacekeeping.[74][75] The Canadian government rhetoric of peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peacebuilding in support of the Afghanistan war despite Canada's combat roles remains a point of contention within Canadian society.[76]
Financing
Vorlage:Further-text The unpredictability of peacekeeping operations makes forecasting costs a challenging task for policymakers and budget planners.[77] Nevertheless Canada has always prioritized its commitment to the UN by paying its dues "in full, on time and without conditions"..[77] In 2022-23, Canada was the eighth-largest UN peace operations financial contributor with approximately $198.8 million for ongoing missions worldwide.[78] Canada in total allocated $2.49 billion to multiple UN organizations including those related to peacekeeping, policing, research, training, climate change and humanitarian efforts such as medicine and food distribution.[79] 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) — placing it 14th for military expenditure by country.[80]
Recognition

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.[82] 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.[83] The 1995 Canadian one-dollar coin displays the Peacekeeping Monument.[84] This commemoration was followed by the 2001 $10 Canadian banknote named "remembrance and peacekeeping" that depicts a female peacekeeper.[85]
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.[86][87] 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,[88] with ceremonies taking place throughout the country at memorials and Peacekeeper Parks.[89]Vorlage:Clear

Canada ranks first in the amount of peacekeepers provided during the Cold War. During this time, Canada was also the only country to be a part of every UN peacekeeping operation. Canada provided 80,000 peacekeepers (10 percent of the UN total) before UN peacekeepers won the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize. All these accomplishments show that Canada used to be a world leader in peacekeeping.“
