Description

Our panel of experts will discuss Canada’s diplomatic response to the Rohingya crisis.

What next, now that Canada has declared that the actions of the Government of Myanmar against its Rohingya minority constitutes genocide and has revoked the honorary citizenship of Myanmar’s head of state, former political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi?
