A group of 375 Canadian law professors, lawyers, academics, civil society leaders, faith leaders, labor leaders, former diplomats, and parliamentarians have written an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The letter calls for Canada to take a strong stance in support of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and to reject the 'false equivalency' narrative regarding the situation in Palestine. The signatories urge Trudeau to uphold international law and meet Canada's international legal obligations, emphasizing the need for a principled approach to justice and standing with victims and survivors. The Globe and Mail has covered the letter, which also criticizes Canada for parroting the 'imperialist script.'
