Failure to ensure that a proper policy analysis and comprehensive estimate of the situation were undertaken with respect to Operation Deliverance and, accordingly, failing to provide adequate advice to the Minister of National Defence and the Cabinet with respect to these matters.
Operation Deliverance was not advanced as a simple humanitarian peacekeeping mission like its precursor Operation Cordon, but as a Chapter VII mission that, in one staff estimate, could involve armed conflict and attendant casualties.
