Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • Humanity faces escalating global conflict;
  • Canada has a proud tradition of international peacekeeping, diplomacy, and human rights leadership;
  • The International Peace Charter is a global civil society initiative to affirm principles of peace, including, renouncing war and violence, resolving disputes through dialogue and reconciliation, advancing disarmament and redirecting resources to human development, respecting sovereignty and peoples’ right to self-determination, defending truth and countering disinformation, promoting environmental stewardship to prevent conflict, protecting human dignity and diversity, supporting fair justice and transitional accountability, and fostering collective well-being through mindfulness and reconciliation; and
  • This Charter reflects Canadian values of cooperation, inclusion, and justice, and offers a unifying framework for addressing the root causes of conflict while advancing sustainable peace and security.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to formally consider, endorse, and ratify the International Peace Charter and work with Parliament, Indigenous governments, civil society, and the international community to integrate the principles of the International Peace Charter into Canadian foreign and domestic policy, ensuring Canada’s leadership role in building a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.
