Victor Campbell Moore

Victor Campbell Moore is a former Canadian 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 represented Canada as 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]
