Refugee rights at the Canada-US border: A conversation with Amnesty International Canada’s Julia Sande
Did you know that there is a bilateral agreement between Canada and the US called the Safe Third Country Agreement that prevents refugee claimants from exercising their right to seek refugee protection? Amnesty International, the Canadian Council for Refugees and the Canadian Council of Churches are challenging this agreement. The case is going to be heard by the Supreme Court this year.
Find out more about what we should expect and how YOU can take action at our event on Refugee Rights Day (April 4) with Julia Sande, Human Rights Law and Policy campaigner with Amnesty International Canada.
