Canadian Court To Hear Argument On Canada's Failure To Prevent Genocide In Gaza

In November 2024, Dimitri Lascaris and six other human rights attorneys filed a lawsuit against Canada on behalf of two Palestinian-Canadians from the Gaza Strip.

In the lawsuit, the Plaintiffs allege that Canada has failed in its duty to prevent genocide and has violated the Plaintiffs' rights under sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Section 7 enshrines the right to security of the person, and section 15 enshrines the right to equality before the law.

Several weeks after the lawsuit was commenced, the Attorney General of Canada filed a motion with the Court in Ottawa seeking a dismissal of the Plaintiffs' lawsuit. The Court will hear argument on that motion on November 27, 2025. Dimitri Lascaris and his co-counsel, Shane Martinez, will argue the motion for the Plaintiffs.

On the day before the hearing, from Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Dimitri explained the litigation and commented on the extraordinary suffering of his clients.
