Morality and justice are frequently discussed norms in SISME 420, a UW course about International Humanitarian Law. Not coincidentally, Canada\u2019s role in promoting humanitarian values has been part of this discussion. Canada is a world leader in promoting and establishing institutions that foster international humanitarian norms, including the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Ottawa Convention to ban landmines.<\/p>\n

Erina Aoyama, Fiona Gillan, Shirley Henderson, and LinhPhung Huynh did extensive research on Canada\u2019s leadership in the aforementioned international institutions for their SISME 420 class presentations. As part of their research, the students met with Professor Andrew Knight of the University of Alberta. Professor Knight stressed Canada\u2019s strength as a \u201cnorm entrepreneur.\u201d He stated that Canada is heavily involved in many organizations, treaties, and conventions that promote human security as a norm. This is especially important as human security becomes increasingly threatened by the changing face of conflict in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century, leaving women, children, and the unarmed vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Canada and other medium-sized states are rallying the world around these moral standards. In contrast to the United States\u2019 use of hard power, Canada believes in the effectiveness of soft power, motivating others through ideas, values, and persuasion. This is an important lesson for the future of US foreign policy as soft power is proving itself increasingly effective, showcased in the achievements of the ICC and the Ottawa Convention.<\/p>\n

LinhPhung Huynh is a Sophomore majoring in International Studies and Political Science. Shirley Henderson is a Senior, also majoring in International Studies. Both are students of the SISME 420 International Humanitarian Law course taught by Frederick Lorenz, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies.<\/em><\/p>\n

Professor Andy Knight\u2019s visit was made possible by funding from the University of Alberta and the Center\u2019s US Department of Education, Title VI grant.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
