Why did Canada support the U.N. missions in the 1960's and 70's? Does Canada keep peace, or make it?
Historically Canada was a purely peacekeeping nation, often providing and volunteering large amounts of troops to U.N. peacekeeping interests. This was especially true in the beginning stages of the United Nations peacekeeping origins, evident by Canada’s contingent of troops sent to South Korea to protect the elected government there. That is the literal definition of peacekeeping, but as time went on from the 1950’s to the 2000’s the policies of the U.N. seemed to change from purely peacekeeping to peacemaking with only particular parties. For example, even as the information of genocide in Rwanda was evidentially factual, the U.N. seemed to have no interest in helping the Rwandese people. Canada was the only nation to contribute troops during the 100-day genocide and even then it was only 30 or so troops.
