Protect Indigenous Peoples at risk of extinction in Colombia
 
Hon. John Baird
Minister of Foreign Affairs
 
Dear Minister,
 
Indigenous Peoples in Colombia are in extreme danger. The Colombian Constitutional Court has concluded that at least 34 distinct nations are on the verge of utter destruction as a result of armed attacks and being forced from their lands. The Court has ordered emergency measures to protect Indigenous Peoples and ensure that they live safely on their own lands.
 
We call on you to use Canada's special relationship with Colombia to press for full compliance with the Court's ruling and ensure that Indigenous Peoples in Colombia receive full protection of their rights.
 
114 people from Fort Qu'Appelle have signed this petition with Amnesty International. You can too.
