November 4th, 2014Committee meeting

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The work that's been done through the United Nations family of organizations, as my colleague Ms. Norton pointed out, has been deeply influenced by the experience and has adopted new norms and procedures and commitments to working in contexts such as this. Part of that, I would a

November 4th, 2014Committee meeting

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Mr. Chair, I would ask that we be able to come back to the committee with details of this. However, I can say that Rwanda had a very active and widespread truth and reconciliation process, which was supported by the international community, and there has certainly been a consider

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, thank you. Absolutely, this is an issue that Canada, along with the international community, is very seized of and has taken a lot of concrete actions as I alluded to in my statement.

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you for the question. I think we saw, with the 20-year anniversary recently, that this incident is still very much on the minds of the world, and that there is a lot of attention still paid to this. There are ongoing efforts, including the efforts I cited earlier in my sta

November 4th, 2014Committee meeting

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you for this question, which is fundamentally a development question, and a very important one. As we have discussed today, following the genocide the role of the international community was initially very much a reaction to the immediate consequences of the genocide, but

November 4th, 2014Committee meeting

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  We took part in that, yes, very much. That, I think, is a big indication of the change in global attitudes, and implementing that change in attitude into tools that help address things like immunity is a key issue.

November 4th, 2014Committee meeting

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Mr. Chair, the issue of restitching a nation together following a traumatic event such as genocide is obviously absolutely critical to the question that's before this committee. I would suggest that the department is probably not prepared for that question today. However, I thi

November 4th, 2014Committee meeting

Kenneth Neufeld

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I would again go back particularly to the project I cited that works with the Quebec-based NGO CECI, which works with survivors of sexual violence and supports the strengthening of these 11 associations of women throughout the region. They deal with a wide range of issues around
