	A Blood-Soaked Final Chapter - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Baril and other officials failed to read the signals that a genocide was looming and later, could not convince the world to intervene as 800,000 were slaughtered.
		Baril's mission to reform the military is also tightly interwoven with the ongoing war, which erupted in 1998 when Rwanda and Uganda sent in troops to support rebels seeking to oust then-president Laurent Kabila.
		Baril admits there is a common thread that winds through the Rwanda genocide, the abortive 1996 mission to eastern Zaire and his current task.

	International aid for refugees eyed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Maurice Baril said opinions diverged on the number of refugees from 100,000 to 500,000 and that it would take until the end of next week at least to develop military aid options for helping them as planned.
		Baril said he had established a "multinational assessment group" within the military planning meeting, which was taking place in a U.S. army barracks on the outskirts of Stuttgart, to reach agreement on this first.

		Baril said the 40,000 refugees on the road from Minova, 30 miles south, were expected to arrive Friday in Sake, a town nine miles west of Goma.

	Estate of Baril
		Maurice objected to the motion and filed a complaint to determine heirs, asserting, inter alia, that any probate of the 1968 or 1969 wills was barred by the provisions of 18 M.R.S.A. §§ 1555-56 (1981), and that she was the sole heir of Antoinette Baril.
		Maurice further contends that approval of the 1968 will is barred because section 1555, the applicable pre-Code provision, provides that no probate of a will shall be originally granted after twenty years from the death of any person.
		Because the probate proceeding dealing with Antoinette Baril's will was not completed within twenty years from the date of the her death, Maurice argues, it cannot be completed subsequent to 1991.

	Baril Named Top General
		In stark contrast, Baril, who also received a promotion to full general last week, brings a relatively untarnished public image to his new post.
		Faced with allegations that Canadian troops had, among other things, physically and sexually abused civilians in Bosnia, Baril ordered an immediate inquiry into the affair, saying that he would not tolerate soldiers he called "drunks and bums" in his army.
		In light of that incident, Baril's promise last week of a new era of openness and accountability in the Canadian Forces rang a little hollow.

		Maurice Baril, a Canadian who was a military adviser to Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali:

	PR Campaign for U.S. Pilots an Exercise in Legal Nonsense- December 16, 2002
		Baril's high priced investigations did manage to state the most obvious about the accident: the four killed and eight wounded soldiers were the victims of a 225 kilogram laser guided bomb blast.
		Baril also made it very clear in his final report that the Canadian soldiers were in no way at fault.
		In fact despite Baril's repeated proclamation that his board of inquiry had received "full co-operation" from the Americans, the Canadian probe did not even uncover the names of the pilots.

	Not qualified for the job in Congo
		Tragically, General Baril and Kofi Annan were at the very centre of the UN's two most disastrous failures in its history -- the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, and the embarrassing and futile attempt to resolve the refugee crisis in Eastern Zaire (now the DRC) in 1997.
		Annan and Baril were mute on the subject when timely leaks to the media, concurrent with the lobbying of member nations' permanent representatives, could have highlighted Dallaire's dilemma.
		General Baril was permitted to visit close to the crisis area for a photo op, but during a short walking tour was unable to find any refugees and declared the emergency over.
