Political leaders to attend Human Rights conference
The Canadian Human Rights Voice (CHRV) is organizing a non-partisan event on
February 1st, 2012 in Parliament Hill, Ottawa, to discuss Canada’s responsibilities to
respond to the violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in Sri
Lanka.
In December 2011, the Sri Lankan government-appointed Lessons Learnt and
Reconciliation Commission ( LLRC ) released its findings that inquired and reported on its
conflict between years 2002 till 2009. International rights groups slammed the report
for ignoring the serious evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In September 2011, the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper stated that Canada
supports the UN's call for an independent investigation into Sri Lanka's war crimes.
Elected representatives, journalists and activists will meet to discuss Canada’s role and the role of the international community to response.
Internationally recognized journalist Peter Silverman will provide opening remarks at the conference.
About CHRV: The Canadian Human Rights Voice (CHRV) is a non-profit organization that is committed to promote, educate, defend and voice human rights violations across the globe.
