UN General Assembly
2022

Such violence is unacceptable, and it must change. We must empower survivors in leading the path to their recovery and support them in the pursuit of meaningful justice, freedom of speech, disinformation and misinformation, the protection of minorities, the rule of law, and respect for science, facts and evidence. Powerful statements have been made on those issues this week. They speak to an erosion of civic space and democratic dialogue. Canada hears them. We do not come to these discussions with easy fixes. We have come to listen, to engage and to share our commitment to responding to this moment in a positive way, with purpose and in a spirit of global solidarity.
