I agree with you that one cannot presuppose a change in policy based on an article in a magazine, so my question is specific with respect to the alleged change as reported in the article, not whether it was the article itself.
I'll quote from the article of July 29, 2009, which reported that changes had been made to “'a standard docket response' of Canada's position with regards to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”
The specific reference is:
In the new docket, the minister's office has removed the words “impunity” and “justice” when calling for an end to sexual violence in the DRC, and is instead calling only for efforts to “prevent” sexual violence.
Have those changes been made, as a factual matter? Forget about whether it was reported in the Embassy article or not. Have those changes been made?
