Stop the War on Children: Child Rights and Canadian Accountability
|
|
Ottawa - from 1pm to 4pm EST
|
|
Canada has played a pivotal role in contributing to the development of international legal standards and has signed and ratified most international treaties and declarations of relevance to child rights and children in armed conflict. Bringing together academia, civil society, government and the UN, the event will serve as an opportunity to call for renewed Canadian leadership for children’s rights and discuss recommendations for practical action by this new government, as part of its commitment to multilateralism, the rules-based order, peace and promoting Canadian values on the global stage.
|
|
Please note this event is by invitation only due to limited capacity in the room.
