Petition to the Government of Canada
- Canada has signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which specifically states “parties shall ensure that a child shall not be separated from his or her parents against their will” (Article 9);
- Canada has a duty to speak out internationally on this;
- Many, perhaps most people in the United States, abhor this inhumane practice and they need the support of the international community to have it changed; and
- Canada must use its diplomatic power to end this international human rights abuse.
