Briefings and submissions
Canada has signed a wide range of human rights agreements and encourages other countries to do so. But how do we measure up as a nation? How do we treat Aboriginal peoples, people seeking refuge, or people living in poverty? Through the United Nations, KAIROS participates regularly in reviews of Canada's human rights performance. We also team up with global partners to comment on human rights struggles facing other nations.
