Mr. Speaker, I am please to present a petition in this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the UN declaration of universal human rights.
The petitioners would like to bring to the attention of the House that human rights violations continue in many countries around the world including countries such as Indonesia. They also point out that Canada continues to be internationally respected for its defence of international human rights.
The petitioners therefore call upon the government to continue its efforts to speak out against countries that tolerate violations of our human rights and to do whatever is possible to bring to justice those responsible for such abuses.
