I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 56 of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. All witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
I'd like to go over a few rules for participants.
First, please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. All comments should be addressed through the chair.
For members in the room and on Zoom, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. The committee clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on June 4, 2024, the subcommittee is resuming its study of the current situation in Sudan.
I would like to welcome our witnesses. We have France‑Isabelle Langlois, executive director of Amnistie internationale Canada francophone, and Yonah Diamond, senior legal counsel with the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights.
You'll be given a maximum of five minutes for your remarks, after which we'll proceed with a round of questions and answers.
Ms. Langlois, I invite you to make your opening statement.
