  8. UN operations now may involve nothing less than the reconstruction of an entire society and state. This requires a comprehensive approach, over an extended period. Security is increasingly understood to involve social, economic, environmental, and cultural aspects far beyond its traditional military dimension. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, 1992

  9. WASHINGTON, D.C. June 16, 2000 (9:00 p.m. EDT) In the nearly five yearsthat I have been Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, a shift has occurredin what it means to be secure. As a result, the language ofinternational affairs has begun to change. No longer are we limited todiscussions of states' rights and national sovereignty. Protectingcivilians, war-affected children, the threat of terrorism and of drugs,open borders and infectious diseases are now among the integral aspectsof the dialogue.This shift in language reflects a change in perception - a recognitionthat the needs of individuals must be our principal concern. We arrivedat this point via the broader realization that there is a changing worldreality.This recognition has resulted in the evolution of Canadian foreignpolicy and the formulation of the many aspects of what we have termedour human security agenda.

  16. N. Korea appears ready to escalate nuclear tensions: Rice Last Updated: Saturday, October 21, 2006 | 4:55 PM ET CBC News U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says China's special envoy to Pyongyang said nothing to her about a reported North Korean pledge to refrain from further nuclear tests. South Korean and Japanese news reports have suggested North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il indicated in a meeting with Chinese official Tang Jiaxuan this week that he was planning no further nuclear tests. But on Saturday morning, Rice told reporters travelling with her to Moscow that she had heard nothing to suggest Kim either apologized for the test or said that he would never test again. Rice said she was given a "thorough" briefing from Tang while visiting Beijing on Friday, but came away believing Pyongyang is not ready to back down from its nuclear program. "The North Koreans, I think, would like to see an escalation of the tension," Rice said.
