World Federalist Movement - Canada presented its 2008 Hanna Newcombe Award to Dr. Peter Langille "in appreciation for all your efforts in support of more effective United Nations peace operations". Dr. Langille is one of Canada’s foremost experts on United Nations peace operations. He served in a Task Force at Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs in the mid-1990s developing Government of Canada proposals for a United Nations Rapid Reaction Capability. Between 1990 and 1994, Peter led an initiative that subsequently developed into the Pearson Peacekeeping Training Centre. He continued his work at the University of Victoria and the University of Western Ontario. As an independent writer and consultant living in London, he maintains a focus on UN peacekeeping issues, particularly efforts to create a UN Emergency Peace Service (UNEPS).
