Wow. Speaking out of one side of the month...and doing the other. They are lovely words though, they sound so reassuring
there’s more gold in their 35 point plan:
Canada will increase support for the right to freedom of expression, public interest media, and the safety of journalists, building on its role as co-chair of the Media Freedom Coalition, a partnership of 50 countries focused on enhancing diplomatic coordination to defend media freedom.
Theme: Advancing Respect for Human Rights
Status: Completed / ongoing Geographic scope: International Progress/achievements:
By February 2022, Canada had provided CAN$3 million to the Global Media Defence Fund, administered by UNESCO, supporting not-for-profit organizations to enhance journalists’ legal protection and promote media freedom.
In July 2022, the UN Human Rights Council biannual resolution on freedom of expression, co-led by Canada and the Netherlands, was adopted.
Canada is monitoring specific cases of journalists at risk in several countries through the diplomatic networks of the Media Freedom Coalition.
