Show detail Hide detail

This episode of Headline Politics, hosted by Peter Van Dusen, features Prime Minister Paul Martin addressing the United Nations (UN) General Assembly at the 2005 United Nations World Summit in New York; PM Martin giving a news conference after the Summit; and Afghanistan's Ambassador to Canada, Omar Samad, giving a statement in Ottawa. In his address to the General Assembly, PM Martin strongly criticizes the lack of action at the World Summit. He argues that the three pillars of human freedom, security, development, and human rights, are not abstract concepts, but responsibilities that the UN and every member country must take seriously. He outlines the UN's current weaknesses in supporting each pillar, and concludes that empty rhetoric must be replaced by concrete results. In the news conference, the Prime Minister discusses both international and domestic issues, such as the timing of the next election. He states that at all of his bilateral meetings at the summit, climate change and the upcoming 2005 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Montreal were discussed. He also comments on the threat of pandemic arising from avian flu, and the need to put preventive measures in place; Canada's new commitment of $24.5 million in aid funding to the Palestinian Authority; and the Summit discussions regarding terrorism and emerging democracies. One of these democracies is Afghanistan, which on September 18, 2005, will hold its first parliamentary and provincial elections in more than thirty years, amid increasing terrorist threats. In Ottawa, Afghanistan's Ambassador to Canada, Omar Samad, gives a statement regarding these elections. He says he is confident that despite threats, the polls will open and millions of people will vote, with a common goal of creating a stable, democratic Afghanistan. He thanks the international community, and Canada particularly, for their help and support, and guarantees that security will be the paramount concern on election day, and that terrorists will not be able to completely disrupt the election. <54mn>
