@CanEmbNL hosted a discussion on the cost of freedom, the legacy of WWII, and the future of #NATO. Just as it stood with Europe in WWII, Canada remains committed to collective defence and the values that bind the Alliance #FacesOfLiberation
A pleasure to be at the beautiful @UniUtrecht to speak about #transatlantic relations, 🇨🇦Canada’s special friendship with the 🇳🇱Netherlands, and preserving the memory of the Second World War. Thanks to @JacobVerheul and his class for the conversation

🇨🇦 deplores systematic human rights violations & repression in Maduro's #Venezuela. We stand with victims & human rights defenders and call on @IntlCrimCourt to pursue accountability. 🙏 to @RFKHumanRights @ForoPenalENG for organizing the discussion at #ASP23

In context of @IntlCrimCourt #ASP23 and #16Days to #EndGBV 🇨🇦 and @4GenderJustice, @XCEPT_Research hosted a discussion on use technology to improve investigations of sexual and gender-based crimes. There is huge potential in this tech, but need to guard against novel risks.
UN accountability mechanisms such as #IIIM Syria & #IIMM Myanmar play a key role gathering, preserving, & analyzing evidence that can serve as the foundation for judicial proceedings at both the national and intl levels. Proud to highlight their work at @IntlCrimCourt #ASP23

“The news out of Amsterdam last night is horrifying. This is a dark moment for our world — and one we have seen before.
My heart goes out to the victims, and the entire Jewish community today. Canada condemns this disgusting antisemitism.” — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Simon Collard-Wexler retweeted
I join my fellow Special Envoy Deborah Lipstadt from the US and people of good conscience around the world in expressing disgust and horror at the attacks on Jews in Amsterdam last night. Canadian Jews are watching this unfold as we approach the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht, adding to the trauma of witnessing what feels like a pogrom in the streets of Europe. It should be no surprise that hate speech and incitement leads to this. Here in Canada the laws must be enforced. Those who incite violence or support terrorism must face legal consequences. Governments at all levels must take seriously the safety and security of Jewish communities. The laws in place to protect targeted communities must be enforced. And none of us can or should tolerate any further escalation against our Jewish and Israeli neighbours.

Canada is concerned with widespread acts of voter intimidation, vote buying and other election day irregularities reported by the OSCE and other impartial observers. This must be investigated and addressed.
