Canada has played an important role in both developing and strengthening the international human rights system and backed that up with important laws and institutions for the protection of human rights within Canada. But there is more that Canada must do to ensure that when it comes to human rights protection, there are no exceptions.

Amnesty International has layed out a range of vital recommendations for action by governments in Canada, across a wide variety of areas:

- counter-terrorism
- the rights of Indigenous peoples
- women’s rights
- refugee protection
- human rights and the economy
- the need for strong global rules and institutions

Amnesty International asks all levels of governments to implement recommendations in those areas and to ensure compliance with our international human rights obligations.
