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.

Latest Press Releases and Statements:
Escalating Israeli Military Operations in the Occupied Palestinian TerritoriesJustice for All Canada condemns the escalating violence perpetrated by Israeli forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, particularly in the Occupied West Bank. From August 28th to September 6th, 2024, Israeli forces intensified their systematic use of military force, resulting in the killings of at least 36 Palestinians, including eight children, in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas. Israeli forces used airstrikes, bulldozers, snipers, and other war-like tactics in heavily populated areas, such as refugee camps. This included successive airstrikes and the use of bulldozers supported by fighter jets, drones, and ground forces. Thousands of Palestinians have been forcibly displaced, while civilian infrastructure has suffered significant damage.

Foreign Affairs Minister Joly’s Statements Regarding Military Exports to IsraelJustice For All Canada (JFAC) welcomes Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly’s announcement this week announcing the purported suspension of around 30 existing military export permits to Israel. This action marks a shift from the government’s earlier stance, where only new permits for exports issued after January 8, 2024 were paused, leaving the record number of existing authorizations designated for Israel untouched. This decision, while not comprehensive, marks a meaningful step towards addressing Canada’s complicity in arming Israeli forces.

Condemning the Silencing of Hindutva Discourse and Defence of Academic Freedom at Concordia UniversityJustice for All Canada condemns in the strongest possible terms the egregious and undemocratic attempts to silence an educational program aimed at raising awareness about the impact of Hindutva fascism on minorities in India. The program was unjustly cancelled by Concordia University on August 15, 2024, after a coordinated smear campaign by right-wing Hindutva groups falsely claimed that the event was "Hinduphobic." We unequivocally condemn all forms of anti-Hindu bigotry. However it is crucial to understand that this event was not an attack on Hinduism, but rather a critical examination of the political ideology of Hindutva, a nationalist sentiment perpetuating violence and oppression against minorities in India. Disruptors of the program shockingly attempted to obscure the documented realities of Hindutva's atrocities, including ongoing religious and caste-based oppression and violence against India's minorities.

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.
