Dallaire Centre of Excellence for Peace and Security (DCOE-PS) seeks practitioner-based assessments of recent (2020-present) developments in military roles related to Human Security to support internal work aimed at aligning CAF’s roles with key international partners including NATO, UN, UK Ministry of Defence, and US Department of Defence.
The Dallaire Centre of Excellence for Peace and Security is conducting research to inform the CAF’s approach to Human Security within operational contexts involving armed conflict and crisis. Analyses indicate that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), United Nations (UN), United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), and United States Department of Defence (US DoD) each apply distinct principles, themes, and frameworks when addressing human security, with varying levels of emphasis on military roles and specific tasks. These differing approaches present challenges to developing a unified CAF strategy for human security
Canadian Defence Academy Research Paper B (MILITARY AND CIVIL SOCIETY) - Tender Notice | CanadaBuysThe Dallaire Centre of Excellence for Peace and Security is analyzing the roles of the CAF in Human Security, particularly in crisis and armed conflict environments. Research indicates that NATO, the UN, UK Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), and US Department of Defense (US DoD) each apply unique perspectives and principles when addressing Human Security, emphasizing differing themes, policy objectives, and tasks. This diversity creates challenges for the CAF in aligning its approach within the existing frameworks.
In 2022, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) established the Human Security Approach and Guiding Principles, emphasizing a people-centered approach that respects local customs and social norms. For the CAF, integrating Indigenous perspectives on security, resilience, and well-being could enhance the understanding and application of Human Security, especially through insights from Elders and Indigenous Knowledge Keepers. This requirement seeks to analyze Indigenous perspectives on Human Security, with particular attention to the views of Indigenous scholars, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers, and to identify areas for further research on integrating these perspectives into CAF Human Security planning.
