On March 9, 2001, the Canadian Centre for Foreign Policy Development, in partnership with
the Honourable Madam Justice Ellen Macdonald, brought together judges, government officials,
and NGOs to address the involvement of judges in peace operations. The roundtable built on an
earlier, broader discussion about "Expert Deployment to International Peace Operations"
(September 12, 2000) and on the work of Justice Macdonald in promoting a more systematic
international involvement of Canadian judges. Participants included the Honourable Justices
Peter Howden and Derek Guthrie, the Honourable Judge Ross Goodwin, Adèle Bertiaume
(Department of Justice), Diane Elkas (Commission for Federal Judicial Affairs), Debbie Bernard
(CANADEM) and Patrick Ulrich (Regional Security and Peacekeeping Division, DFAIT). Steven
Lee (Canadian Centre for Foreign Policy Development) chaired the meeting.
