Peace of a Graveyard: Bi-annual Human Rights Report on KashmirSeptember 13th, 2024
For the past 76 years, the people of Indian-occupied Kashmir have been struggling to exercise their UN-mandated right to self-determination. The Indian state’s occupation of Kashmir and its persistent repression of the political aspirations of the Kashmiri population have resulted in ongoing and egregious human rights violations. This report, prepared by Justice For All Canada, offers an overview and analysis of the multifaceted human rights violations and political developments in Indian-occupied Kashmir, covering the period from January 2024 to June 2024. |

Canada’s IHRA Handbook Threatens Free Expression and Palestinian Rights AdvocacyYesterday’s release of the Canadian government’s IHRA handbook on antisemitism raises serious concerns for the future of open discourse and rights-based advocacy in Canada.
As an organization committed to evidence-based human rights defence, Justice For All Canada recognizes antisemitism as a serious issue. However, this handbook undermines essential rights to expression, including the right to critically examine Israeli state policies. While the handbook assures that general criticism of Israel isn’t inherently antisemitic, its broad approach leaves room for interpretations that could categorize legitimate criticism as antisemitic. |
South Asian communities and allies call for listing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates in Canada as hate groups/far right extremist entitiesTwenty five (25) South Asian communities and allies sent an open letter to Prime Minister Trudeau calling for listing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates in Canada as hate groups/far right extremist entities.
The recent RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) announcement has revealed the “involvement of agents of the Government of India in serious criminal activity in Canada” and that the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies in Canada have investigated and charged a “significant number of individuals for their direct involvement in homicides, extortions and other criminal acts of violence.” The assassination of a Canadian Sikh leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year, and its alleged hand by India’s Hindu nationalist government appears to be the tip of the iceberg. |
Genocide Within a Genocide: Depraved Israeli Military Violations in Northern GazaJustice For All Canada vehemently denounces the Israeli military’s continued violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in Gaza, especially the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian residents in the north. The Israeli government is once again employing siege tactics by deliberately blocking essential supplies like food, water, and medical aid. These actions blatantly violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and constitute collective punishment against the Palestinian civilian population. Such transgressions alongside relentless bombings are causing widespread suffering and death.

REPORT: Addressing Mass Incarceration, Ill-Treatment, and Weaponization of Emergency Prison Law for Palestinian PrisonersThis report outlines the alarming escalation of human rights violations against Palestinian prisoners within the Israeli prison system, including children, women, the elderly, and the disabled. Since October 7th, the enactment of emergency prison laws by the Israeli parliament has intensified arbitrary arrests, administrative detentions without formal charges, and systemic mistreatment of prisoners, including torture and enforced disappearances. Israel’s mass incarceration campaign has significantly increased and has led to a surge in detentions across Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel, subjecting detainees to deplorable conditions and denying them essential medical care.

Report: Palestine—Genocide, Apartheid, and OccupationThere is a growing consensus that Israel is committing a genocide as part of its military campaign. The persecution and discrimination faced by Palestinians arguably meets every stage of the “10 stages of genocide”, a common method of categorizing genocidal situations across the globe. The critical report confirms this reality by detailing the decades of persecution and explores the impact of this genocide on Palestinian children.
It is thus critical that the international community, including the United States and Canada, take action on an urgent basis to halt their complicity in the genocide in Gaza and punish the crimes committed by Israel. |
Law As An Instrument of OppressionThe Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) is an act that the government of India has instituted to prevent terror-related activities and activities that may endanger the sovereignty and integrity of India. However, according to Amnesty International and the United Nations, the UAPA does not fulfill international human rights standards. Since 2019, Police have booked more than 2,364 people under UAPA and nearly half of them are still languishing in jail inside and outside the Kashmir valley.
Using case studies, this detailed report dives into the application of the UAPA in Indian Occupied Kashmir and how it is structured and designed to repress dissent and human rights. The law criminalizes a particular set of beliefs or opinions that the government might deem unlawful or “anti-national”. |
REPORT: Critical Analysis of ICJ Order over Israeli Genocide in Occupied PalestineThe following report presents a comprehensive analysis of the International Court of Justice (ICJ)'s provisional measures order from January 26th, 2024, regarding the Israeli military aggression in Gaza. It highlights that the ICJ recognized a plausible case for genocide in Gaza, and ordered several interim measures ahead of a full trial on the merits. Using a human rights standpoint, the report assesses implications for humanitarian aid and ceasefire initiatives, followed by urgent recommendations for action to the Government of Canada to advance peace and accountability in the region.
