The Canadian government has been served a notice of their failure to prevent genocide by a coalition of Canadian legal organisations. The notice was issued on behalf of three Canadian citizens of Palestinian origin, all of whom have family members in Gaza.

Over the past ten weeks, the horrific Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza have compelled Canadians across the country to bravely exercise their constitutional right to free speech and assembly to call for a ceasefire, the end of Israeli occupation, and the respect and application of international law.

The purpose of this action is to hold accountable any Canadian official, located in Canada or abroad, where there is evidence that the person has been complicit in, or otherwise aided or abetted war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide in the occupied Palestinian territory.

The letter states that Ms. Jama will not tolerate premier Ford’s attempts to tarnish her reputation in such a public manner.
