About THE GROUP OF 78

The Group of 78 is an association of Canadians committed to leadership in the promotion of global stewardship: a Canadian foreign policy based on the pursuit of peace, justice, and global survival.

The Group began in 1980 when several concerned and distinguished Canadians crafted a statement on how Canada could contribute to the building of a peaceful, secure world. In November 1981 that statement, Canadian Foreign Policy in the 80s, was sent to Prime Minister Trudeau. It was signed by 78 Canadians – a group of 78. The statement set out three inter-related objectives.

In summary:

• removal of the threat of nuclear war

• mobilization of resources to achieve a more equitable international order

• strengthening and reform of the United Nations and other global institutions
