Lieutenant-General the Honourable

A highly decorated artilleryman, Lieutenant-General RomŽo Dallaire served in the Canadian Forces in a series of increasingly demanding command and staff appointments before retiring after over three decades of service.

Upon his return from serving as Force Commander of the UN mission to Rwanda, for which he was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross, Dallaire received the Order of Canada, one of Canada's highest honours, and was awarded the United States Legion of Merit.

Dallaire is now Special Adviser to the Canadian International Development Agency and to the Minister of International Cooperation on War-Affected Children. He is author of Shake Hands With The Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, which has garnered numerous literary awards. Lieutenant-General Dallaire was summoned to the Senate in March 2005.
