Ever since American President Roosevelt coined the term "United
Nations", Canada has been a strong supporter of both the concept
and practice of a firm structure of international organization. From
the beginning, Canada's intent was to do so as a "middle power",
ready to contribute in a substantial way to UN peacekeeping forces and
to enjoy a place on the Security Council at regular intervals.
"Canada and the United Nations" highlights our long record
of service and achievement at the UN—a role that has made Canada
a more than suitable participant at the top table of international affairs.
