Victor Campbell Moore
Victor Campbell Moore is a Canadian former diplomat.[1]
Moore's first posting abroad was to Karachi from 1960–1962, and then to The Hague until 1965.[2]
From 1965-1967, Moore was the Canadian Commissioner of the International Control Commission, during the Vietnam War.[3][4] Moore negotiated directly with the Communist government in Hanoi in an attempt to reconvene the 1954 Geneva Conference.[5] Unfortunately, the effort championed by Moore and Chester Ronning was unsuccessful.[6]
In 1968 Moore was appointed High Commissioner to Jamaica, a post he held until 1972.[1] From 1971-1972 he also acted as commissioner to the Bahamas and Belize.[1]
In 1976 and 1977 Moore succeeded Arthur Frederick Broadbridge as High Commissioner to Malawi and Zambia and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Mozambique, posts he held until 1979.[1]
