UN General Assembly
2021

Our commitment to human rights and the rule of law extends well beyond our shores. Canada will continue its work to promote respect for the rights of people everywhere. For example, we will continue to press for democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar, where the overthrow of the elected Government by the Tatmadaw has caused much hardship and suffering to the people of Myanmar. We support all efforts to end the military dictatorship and ensure the rights of all peoples of Myanmar, including the Rohingya, whose lives are threatened by a genocidal regime.
