The Human Rights Research and Education Centre at the University of Ottawa is pleased to publish the report of an international virtual roundtable of experts on “Justice for the Rohingya: The Role of Canada” co-hosted on 21 May 2020 with Senator McPhedran and UVic Faculty of Law.

This roundtable discusses what Canada should now do about it in terms of seeking justice for the still suffering victims.
