ADVOCACY UPDATES
CMPAC Demands Canadian Gov’t Condemn the Unlawful Israeli Attacks on Lebanon
September 23, 2024
CMPAC demands the Canadian government to publicly condemn Israel’s recent military assault on Lebanon. Israel continues to carry out attacks that breach international humanitarian law and UN Security Council resolution. If left unchallenged by the international community, this pattern of illegal and disproportionate use of force will continue, further destabilizing the region and eroding prospects for peace.
CMPAC Opinion: Canada’s Missed Opportunity on Palestinian Rights
September 20, 2024
CMPAC critically assesses Canada’s recent abstention from a UN vote on Israel’s occupation, describing it as a troubling inconsistency in its foreign policy. The opinion highlights how this decision undermines Canada’s commitment to human rights and international law, as articulated by the ICJ. By failing to address the core issue of occupation, Canada has missed a significant opportunity to stand with the international community and support Palestinian rights.
CMPAC Calls for Action Against Israeli Attacks in Lebanon
September 18, 2024
Following the UN Special Coordinator's statement condemning Israeli attacks in Lebanon, CMPAC demands that Canada impose diplomatic and economic measures against Israel. The organization's call for strong condemnation of these actions is a response to the urgent need for adherence to international humanitarian law. CMPAC's stance reflects a commitment to holding Israel accountable for its actions in the region.
LaSalle-Émard-Verdun By-Election: A Moral Stand on Gaza
September 17, 2024
The recent by-election in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun highlighted a principled stand against the Liberal government's complicity in Gaza’s ongoing humanitarian crisis. With the Bloc Québécois winning in a traditionally Liberal riding, voters demonstrated a commitment to justice and human rights over party loyalty. This shift signals potential repercussions for future elections if critical issues remain unaddressed.
CMPAC Urges Canada to Support UNGA Resolution for Ending Israel’s Illegal Occupation
September 17, 2024
CMPAC has called on the Canadian government to support the UN General Assembly resolution demanding an end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. This resolution, scheduled for a vote on September 18, aligns with the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion from July 2024, which deems the occupation illegal under international law. CMPAC emphasizes the importance of this vote as a crucial opportunity for Canada to uphold its commitment to international law and human rights. Supporting this resolution is vital for Canada’s credibility on the global stage.
