This shows fundamental rights because they are allowed to have protests as long as they are peaceful and are not harmful.

Two gay men protested that section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms should include the rights/freedoms of all sexual orientations. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed upon this and officially stated that all sexual orientations must be protected under the charter.

In Canada, we have two official languages, and you have the right to receive government services in either French or English. A citizen filed a report due to the federal government not properly exercising this right with this app and won.

People are unable to work in certain roles and are judged on ability to work in that role based on their age. This prohibits people from some jobs. One example of this is posting a age range for a job. #ineedwork

PRELIMINARY REMARKS The International Committee of the Red Cross has, from the outset, been the sponsor of the Geneva Convention for the protection of wounded military personnel, and of the humanitarian Conventions which supplement it. Each of these fundamental international agreements is inspired by respect for human personality and dignity; together, they establish the principle of disinterested aid to all victims of war without discrimination – to all those who, whether through wounds, capture or shipwreck, are no longer enemies but merely suffering and defenceless human beings. Throughout the years, the International Committee has laboured unremittingly for the greater protection in International Law of the individual against the hardships of war; it successively elaborated the humanitarian Conventions and adapted them to current needs, or instituted new ones. In the period between the two World Wars, the Committee’s main achievement lay in the establishment of a number of draft Conventions, chief among which was the Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War; this was signed in the summer of 1929 and, during the last conflict, protected millions of captives. Other new or revised draft Conventions were to have been submitted to a Diplomatic Conference which the Swiss Federal Council planned to convene early in1940; hostilities, unfortunately, intervened. The year 1945 marked the close of a war waged on an unprecedented scale; the task had to be faced of developing and adapting the humanitarian elements of International Law in the light of the experience gained. The International Committee’s proposals met with the early approval of Governments and National Red Cross Societies, and it immediately set to work. Three former Conventions had to be revised: the Geneva Convention of 1929 for the Relief of the Wounded and Sick in Armies in the Field, the Xth Hague Convention of 1907 for the adaptation to Maritime Warfare of the Principles of the Geneva Convention, and the 1929 Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Furthermore, there was urgent need for a Convention for the protection of civilians, the absence of which had, during the world conflict, led to such grievous consequences. The International Committee worked on the lines it had followed after the 1914-1918 War. First, it collected the fullest possible preliminary information on those aspects of International Law that required confirmation, enlargement, or amendment; then, with the help of experts from various countries, it prepared the revised and new drafts which were submitted, first, to an International Red Cross Conference, and then to a Diplomatic Conference empowered to give these treaties final validity. The first meeting of experts was held in October 1945 and comprised the neutral members of the Mixed Medical Commissions which, during the conflict, had visited wounded or sick prisoners of war, to decide about their repatriation. The second meeting was the “Preliminary Conference of National Red Cross Societies for the study of the Conventions and of various problems relative to the Red Cross”, which the International Committee convened at Geneva, in July and August 1946, and before which the first drafts were laid. Having gathered the suggestions of Red Cross agencies on points which were within their particular fields, the Committee made a close study during the months that followed, and collected very full data on all matters dealt with in the proposed Conventions. Consultations included one, in March 1947, with representatives of the religious and secular bodies which had collaborated with the Committee in giving spiritual and intellectual aid to victims of the War. From April 14 to 26, 1947, the “Conference of Government Experts for the study of Conventions for the Protection of War Victims” was held in Geneva. This was attended by seventy representatives of fifteen Governments which had held large numbers of prisoners and civilian internees during the War, and were therefore particularly experienced in the matters under discussion. Combining the Committee’s proposals, the suggestions made by the Red Cross Societies, and drafts prepared by several Governments, the Conference agreed to the new texts proposed and to the first draft of a Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. The International Committee also sought the advice of several Governments which were not represented at the April Conference; some sent experts to Geneva in June 1947. The drafts in preparation were also submitted by the Committee to a Special Commission of National Red Cross Societies, which met at Geneva in September of the same year. After careful editing early in the year, the Draft Conventions were sent by the Committee, in May 1938, to all Governments and National Red Cross Societies, in preparation for the XVIIth International Red Cross Conference. This Conference sat in Stockholm from August 20 to 31, 1948; the representatives of fifty Governments and fifty-two National Red Cross Societies were present. With some amendments, the drafts were adopted. After passing through the many preparatory stages briefly described, these texts were eventually taken as the sole Working Documents of the Diplomatic Conference of Geneva; out of these grew the 1949 Geneva Conventions. The Diplomatic Conference for the Establishment of International Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War, convened by the Swiss Federal Council, as trustee of the Geneva Conventions, was held in Geneva from April 21 to August 12, 1949 Of the sixty-three Governments represented at the Conference, fifty-nine had sent plenipotentiaries; four sent observers only. Representatives of the International Committee were invited to participate in the capacity of experts. After four months of continuous debate, the Conference established the following four Conventions, which are given below: I. Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field, of August 12, 1949. II. Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea, of August 12, 1949. III. Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, of August 12, 1949. IV. Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of August 12, 1949. The Conference at once divided into four Committees; the First, for the revision of Conventions I and II; the Second, for the revision of Convention III (Prisoners of War); the Third, to establish the new Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons; and lastly, the Joint Committee, to deal with provisions common to the four Conventions. Co-ordination and Drafting Committees met towards the end of the Conference, to harmonize the four texts. When necessary, the Committees formed Working Parties. At the closing meeting, Delegations of the following States signed the Final Act: Afghanistan, Albania, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Greece, Guatemala, the Holy See, Hungary, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jugoslavia, Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Siam, Soviet Socialist Republic of Bielorussia, Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Turkey, Union of Soviet Socialist. Seventeen Delegations also signed the four Conventions; forty-four other States had signed when the agreed six-months period expired on February 12, 1950. According to their provisions, the new Geneva Conventions come into force six months after the deposit of at least two instruments of ratification. Thereafter, they come into force for each Contracting Party six months after it ratifies. PROVISIONS COMMON TO THE FOUR CONVENTIONS The Geneva Diplomatic Conference made an innovation in grouping together and amplifying the common provisions, up to then dispersed and rudimentary. Now practically identical in the four Conventions, they may be considered under three headings: General Provisions The General Provisions are given in a dozen Articles of great importance at the beginning of each Convention, laying down the mode of application. They deal with respect for the Conventions and their application in international conflict, enemy occupation or civil war. They are followed by provisions about the duration of application, special agreements which Contracting Parties may conclude, the inalienability of the right of protected persons, the duties of Protecting Powers or their substitutes, the activities of the International Committee of The Red Cross, and conciliation procedure between the Contracting Parties. Repression of Breaches of the Conventions (Articles 49 to 52 of the First Convention, 50 to 53 of the Second, 129 to 131 of the Third, and 146 to 149 of the Fourth). The Stockholm Conference had expressed the view that the provisions it had approved were still inadequate, and had requested the International Committee to continue its study of this important question. After consulting lawyers of international repute, the Committee prepared suggestions which appeared in the volume “Remarks and Proposals”, submitted for consideration. The Conference used these suggestions as a basis for its deliberations. The first of the Articles imposes penal sanctions for breaches of the Convention, in particular for “grave breaches”, as defined in the succeeding Article. #rights #geneva #support #help

Even to this day indigenous people are STILL being discriminated. It's true. Many indigenous people are being racially harassed by white people. It's quite ironic since we kicked them out of their land. Killed them. took away their identity with residential schools. and this is how we repay them. WE need to give the indigenous people back their identity and their rights. #stoprascismtowardsindigenous #rights #indigenous
