At the Legal Centre for Palestine (LCP), our work is rooted in a commitment to justice, dignity, and the protection of Palestinian rights. We engage in a variety of activities designed to support Palestinians and their allies in Canada and the broader movement for Palestinian rights.
Legal Advocacy
We provide legal support to individuals and groups facing discrimination, harassment, and legal challenges related to their Palestinian identity and/or activism. Our roster of dedicated legal professionals is committed to defending the rights of Palestinians and those advocating for Palestinian rights and liberation.

By engaging with government officials and other stakeholders, we aim to influence policy changes that will benefit the Palestinian community and promote equality and justice.

Our reports are used to inform policy recommendations and advocacy efforts.
