As
U.N. peace operations are asked and expected to do more in increasingly complex
and dangerous environments, this discussion with Dr. Walter Dorn, professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College of Canada and the Canadian Forces College, explored the
challenges and opportunities of leveraging a broad spectrum of technologies to
enable U.N. peace operations to more effectively and safely protect civilians. Sarah Williamson, managing director of Protect the People, served as moderator.
