The Gazette has published We must not allow Gadhafi to inflict further crimes against humanity, a Frank Chalk and Kyle Matthews op-ed.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper should be applauded for taking a strong stance against the violence engulfing Libya.
Following a decision by the United Nations Security Council to impose a range of sanctions on the regime of Moammar Gadhafi, the prime minister demonstrated international leadership by unveiling a broad range of measures to apply Canada’s muscle to enforce the international community’s promise of “never again.”
With evidence that, in violation of international law, Gadhafi used foreign mercenaries and military aircraft to murder civilians who were peacefully exercising their democratic right to advocate for political change in Libya, Canada responded swiftly to show that it is on the side of human rights and stands firmly against tyranny. Ottawa imposed a travel ban and asset freeze against Gadhafi, his family and his cronies, barred Canadian firms from conducting financial transactions with the Libyan government, and championed the decision to suspend Libya from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Chalk and Matthews are the co-authors of Mobilizing the Will to Intervene along with Roméo Dallaire, Carla Barqueiro, and Simon Doyle.
Mobilizing the Will to Intervene is a direct appeal to American and Canadian politicians, NGOs, journalists, and the public to participate effectively in the prevention of mass atrocities by pressuring their leaders to act. With simple, practical recommendations, this book shows how civil society can participate in preventing future mass atrocities and help repair a ruined system of international aid.
