		Obhrai was responding to a simmering controversy in Africa stemming from South African president Thabo Mbeki’s push to have the peer review mechanism in NEPAD tied to the African Union.
		Obhrai says Mbeki’s reluctance to criticize the despotic rule of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe shows he is not committed to pressuring lax African leaders – a crucial element in a successful peer review system because of South Africa’s power.
		Obhrai says Canada needs to do more than simply assure NEPAD countries that peer review is important – Canada should have a major role in the peer review system.
