As a linguistic and multi-cultural community, the Francophone community has gradually established itself as one of the main actors in international affairs. Complementing the Bamako Declaration, the Saint-Boniface Declaration, adopted during the Ministerial Conference on conflict prevention and human security (13-14 May 2006, Saint-Boniface, Canada), increases the political dimension of the Francophone community in relation to global issues: conflict, terrorism, environmental crises, migratory crises, etc. Groupe URD will present some of its work on crisis management at the conference, “Saint-Boniface Declaration, 12 years on” in Ottawa on 9, 10 and 11 May 2018.
