Our Policy Report, presented during the meeting, calls for decisive Canadian action, including:
- A public statement reaffirming support for the ICC’s mandate.
- Collaboration with allies to safeguard international institutions.
- Ensuring policy consistency in upholding human rights.
- A review of trade practices to align with Canada’s humanitarian obligations.
We extend our gratitude to the Canadian government for its recent principled stance at the UN, voting to condemn illegal settlements—a step towards justice and accountability.
