Concluding Observations of the Human Rights Committee: Canada

[d_rawk]

Can't help but think that if the thread title had read "U.S. ignores U.N. criticism ... again", there would have been some bites and some bile

There was just one problem. And it was spelled out clearly on page 2 of the report: "The committee notes with concern that many of the recommendations it addressed to the State party (the federal Liberals) in 1999 remain unimplemented. It also regrets that the committee's previous concluding observations have not been distributed to Members of Parliament and that no parliamentary committee has held hearings on the issues arising from the committee's observations."

In short, the government paid no attention to the committee's last report and, by all appearances, intends to do the same thing again.

Six years and counting.
