The Canadian Abolition Project was founded to campaign in support of Canadian government policies that
will
ensure consistency with Canada's position as a completely abolitionist nation.
We will encourage and support interventions by the Canadian government in defence of Canadians facing the death penalty
abroad. We are dedicated to achieving abolition of the death penalty for all, in all countries
of the World and particularly in the
United States of America.
Some of the projects and ongoing initiatives that we currently have under consideration include:
- There
is an idea currently being developed for an
International Abolition Day. This would be marked by
marches and demonstrations in major cities around
the world. We could organize the observance of this
day in Canada.
- We should call on our government to follow the lead of Mexico and the
European Union by pressuring the US to honour its international treaty
obligations, particularly those protecting the rights of foreign
nationals and juveniles facing the death penalty.
- We
should be canvassing and fighting the Canadian
Alliance party’s open and declared support for the
return to Capital Punishment in Canada.
- We
need to compile a list of all organizations, groups,
VIPs and others to whom we could look for support
and endorsement of our cause.
- We
need to compile or build a Canadian Media contact
list that can be used whenever we need to send out
press releases or other information.
We will be forming an executive committee to over see the activities
of this project. But in the interim you may address all inquiries to:
