Lloyd Axworthy
FORMER FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER · DIPLOMAT · HUMAN SECURITY ADVOCATE
Lloyd Axworthy served as Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1996 to 2000, becoming one of the most consequential foreign policy voices in Canadian history. He championed the Ottawa Treaty banning landmines, advanced the doctrine of human security on the world stage, and helped redefine what Canadian leadership looks like internationally. A former Liberal MP and President of the University of Winnipeg, Axworthy remains one of Canada's most respected elder statesmen.
