Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think the first thing the international community needs to do is have a common agenda to present to the Government of Myanmar to make sure that the return is possible and safe.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't know much about what the arrangements are at the moment, but, as I said, the role of regional organizations is very important. I suppose the Inter-American System needs to step in at some point, because this is not just North America. There are countries in other parts, i

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I'm sure that something can be done. There must be more commitment towards the vulnerable communities, especially the LGBTQ community. Look at the situation of those who are either internally displaced or in refugee camps in countries where their lives are not safe. Who will

Citizenship and Immigration committee  You are correct that much of my experience is in dealing with the situations of minority communities in Pakistan, and specifically with those who are more persecuted than others. The climate for all non-Muslim minorities is not good, but there are certain minorities, such as the

Hina Jilani

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We will certainly be advocating for the use of whatever we can find in terms of any framework that is available for bringing an end to impunity.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  This report is being launched next year, that the World Refugee Council has.... The interim report has already been put forward. There is an interim report, and I will certainly make sure that the committee has a copy of the interim report.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Some of these measures—not all of them, obviously—that have been taken at the European level or other regional levels could be useful for Canada to study.

Hina Jilani

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not sure that I can think of anything in particular that comes to my mind right now. Of course, there are many things to be concerned about, but I'm afraid I can't immediately think of anything.

November 6th, 2018Committee meeting

Hina Jilani

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. There are different kinds of actions that can be taken, but I think that when these camps are constructed, part of the discipline and the practical measures that are adopted also surround behaviour. At the UNHCR level, a lot has been done, mostly because of NGO pressure, to

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think criminal law will be the best possible framework, because it will be jurisdictional in that context.
