Human Rights, Canadian Imperialism and Haiti's Fight for Self-Determination
Haitians are currently protesting on a massive scale and Canada is leading the international push for foreign military intervention. Why is Canada interested in military intervention? How are human rights concerns being leveraged to justify military expansion? How did we get here in the first place? This International Human Rights Day, World BEYOND War Canada and the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network heard from critical thinkers on the issues at hand.
