I think this only further testifies to the difficulty in engaging with the Burundian government, which is in a defensive position. It positions itself as a victim of an international conspiracy theory and has rejected that investigation and many others. That poses a challenge to the commission of inquiry, but I do not believe that it is entirely impossible to still manage to have credible reports and a credible investigation carried out. I think pressure should continue to be exerted on the government to comply with that commission of inquiry, and I believe there are many avenues to do so.
It is bewildering that the same government is still sitting on the Human Rights Council in Geneva after clear evidence it is perpetrating these violations against its people.
I think more pressure needs to be done, and particularly we should not rest on the feeling that with the adoption of that commission of inquiry things are now settled. I think more than ever pressure must be exerted against that government, and perhaps this is where Canada can lead the way as well.
