Petition to the Government of Canada
- The Government of Canada is a signatory to the United Nations 1948 Genocide Convention, which unequivocally condemns acts of genocide and obliges its signatories to actively oppose acts of genocide;
- The actions taken by Israel's political and military leaders in Gaza, including military operations against civilians and the systematic deprivation of human rights, align with the criteria outlined in the Convention to identify genocide; and
- Over 50 countries, recognising the severity and nature of the ongoing situation, have already backed South Africa in presenting a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
