Colonel McAlea on the Rule of Law and Military Justice in Africa
Return to top.

CENTRE FOR SECURITY AND DEFENCE STUDIES: SPEAKER SERIES 2009-10

"The Rule of Law and Military Justice in Africa: Partners in Accountability"

Col. Dominic McAlea
Deputy Judge Advocate
Canadian Forces

Security sectors in failed or failing states reflect, and often contribute to, the weaknesses that lead to the failure of their respective states. Establishing sustainable peace and Rule of Law in failed states requires, among other things, real security sector reform - reform that includes the military justice sector. This session will consider military justice in the context of security sector reform in failed or failing states using the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the vehicle for discussion.

Col. Dominic McAlea has served as Deputy Judge Advocate Regional Services in Ottawa since September 2006. Previously, he served as DND/CF Deputy Legal Advisor - Military. In 2004, he obtained a Master of Philosophy in International Relations at the Center of International Studies, Cambridge University. He then assumed the duties of Deputy Judge Advocate General / Military Justice and Administrative Law. As Director of Law/International, Col McAlea was the Military Advisor in the Canadian Delegation at the UN Conference in Rome which drafted the Statute of the International Criminal Court in June-July 1998.

Colonel McAlea recently returned from duty with MONUC Rule of Law Unit where he worked on military justice reform as the Military Criminal Law Advisor to the UN mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Kinshasa.

Welsh on Consular and Crown Prerogatives
Return to top.

CSDS-CCISS Strategic Analysis Seminar Series

Michael Welsh
"Consular and Crown Prerogatives: Thoughts from a Former Practitioner"

Michael Welsh is a former Canadian Ambassador and was until recently the Director General of the Consular Affairs Bureau at the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Mr. Welsh was at the helm of Consular Affairs at a particularly significant time when public controversy attended the consular assistance extended to Canadian citizens who found themselves in need while outside Canada. Consular support to Canadians is one of the pillars of Foreign Affairs and is often the only involvement which Canadian citizens have with the department. That this contact often occurs while Canadian citizens are under great stress merely underscores the importance of the program. That the public media focus on the program suggests that changes are taking place to the conduct of the program underscores the importance of understanding how this program functions.

Tursday, April 22

As with most of the presentations in this series, Chatham House Rule will apply. As always, confirmation of attendance must be received in order to ensure that seating is available.

"Canadian Perspectives on the Comprehensive Approach"

In recent years there has been a growing international acknowledgement of the need to practice a more coordinated and holistic approach to security operations, often referred to as Comprehensive Approach (CA). Such an approach could bring together the efforts of the departments and agencies of the Canadian government, and non-governmental organizations and private sector entities working towards a shared goal.

While considerable achievements have been made with the CA as it relates to Afghanistan, there seems to be a lack of consensus on how the CA will endure beyond that particular operation. As such, the purpose of this conference is to consolidate numerous research efforts and experiences with a view to producing a more enduring CA concept. The use of a conference setting will enable discussion on best practices, lessons learned and research as we attempt to move from concept to practice in creating a new norm for undertaking security operations from a Canadian perspective. The conference will feature six panels addressing the following questions:

§ Panel 1: (Re-) Discovering the Comprehensive Approach
Question: What are the antecedents of the Comprehensive Approach and what is the significance of such an approach today?

§ Panel 2: Non-governmental Perspectives
Question: How do NGOs and interagency partners foster cooperation and collaboration under the Comprehensive Approach?

§ Panel 3: Comprehensive Approach in Practice Today ­ International Operations
Question: How is the Comprehensive Approach being practiced today in the international environment?

§ Panel 4: Comprehensive Approach in Practice Today ­ Domestic Operations
Question: How is the Comprehensive Approach being practiced today in the domestic environment?

§ Panel 5: The Comprehensive Approach within Canada’s Strategy for Fragile States
Question: What are the departmental perspectives of the role of the Comprehensive Approach within this strategy?

§ Panel 6: Making it Work
Question: What are the tools, techniques and processes that enable the Comprehensive Approach?

Subject: Conference Announcement - KCIS 2010 "Security & Governance: Foundations for International Stability"

Dear Colleague

The Kingston Conference on International Security invites you to attend this year's conference entitled: "Security and Governance: Foundations for International Stability" , 21-23 June 2010, in Kingston, Ontario.

Most of the violent conflicts to which western armed forces have responded over the past two decades have had their origins in the incapacity of states to perform their most basic function - to provide for the safety and security of their citizens. Governments of states variously described as fragile, failing or failed are marked by weak public administration, notably though not exclusively in the provision of public services related to security and the rule of law. Because these conflicts generate civil conflict which is destructive of societies, economies and cultures within states and liable to spill over into broader interstate and regional instability, the international community has found itself increasingly engaged in attempts to foster effective governance strategies, most often during or immediately after civil or transnational wars. Western armed forces and police have gained considerable experience in reforming security institutions and training personnel at the national and local levels, while at the same time coping with difficult issues of civil-military relations. How to provide the human, technical and tactical capabilities for effective national and local security in these countries, how best to deploy international military and civilian forces for such purposes, and how to recognize when the job is well-enough done to permit gradual or complete disengagement – these are the central questions that will animate KCIS 2010.

Violent civil and regional conflict generated by the incapacity of states has been witnessed in the Balkans, Africa, Southwest Asia and Latin America. While culture and geopolitics may make for variations in the regional expression of such conflict, fragile and failed states and the international responses to them also have many striking common characteristics. It thus makes sense to adopt a comparative perspective in exploring the links between weak domestic security governance and threats to national and regional security, and in examining the role of international security forces in assisting in the development of more effective local and national security structures. Building such capacity to the point where full responsibility for security can safely be left to local and national authorities is a critical task for the international community in all these regions, as is recognizing and acting appropriately when that point has been reached.

Four expert panels will address the following themes:

  • The Roots of Insecurity: National, Regional and Global;

  • Governance Strategies: What Works;

  • Military Initiatives in Creating Stability and Good Governance: Case Studies; and

  • International Military Engagement & Disengagement in Unstable States and Regions.
  • Registration for the conference is now open. The fee is $300.00 (+GST) until 31 May 2010, and $350.00 (+GST) thereafter. Registration covers the Meet and Greet reception Monday evening, all meals, conference sessions, and the conference dinner - a cruise of the 1000 Islands and Kingston's magnificent waterfront on Tuesday evening. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable. Registration and payments must be made using our online system by selecting this link: registration form.
