Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: As a result of the experience of the 1990s, Canadian foreign policy has recently been anchored, at least at the declarative level, on the twin pillars of 'human security' and 'the responsibility to protect'. What's more, the new Canadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin, has declared that Canada must take on a leadership role in world affairs. Viewed through this lens, then, we should have expected to see a robust reaction from Canada during the recent violent crisis in Haiti. The case is a paradigmatic example of a human security problem (Haitians were neither free from fear or want) and a clear case can be made that since the Haitian state was unwilling or unable to provide for the security of its own population, the responsibility to protect Haitians fell to the international community. However, in the final analysis, the Canadian response to Haiti was slow, self-contradictory, clumsy and reactive--not at all in line the concept of leadership. In this light we might ask why the response did not match the declarative policy. Is it the case that national capabilities (political, diplomatic, and military) were insufficient for the task? Furthermore, and more importantly at an international level, given the fact that Canada, as the chief architect and sponsor of 'human security' and 'the responsibility to protect', failed to put these doctrines into practice, what is the future of such normative foreign policy ideas?
