Canada Facing Genocide Charges in Tribunal

A historic tribunal in Montreal is exposing Canada’s role in the residential school system, with seven international judges examining evidence of genocide and crimes against humanity — including missing Indigenous children and unmarked burials. Hosted by the Permanent People’s Tribunal, this is their 57th session and the second in Canada, marked by sacred ceremony and an indictment read by Indigenous legal services. Canada’s government refuses to participate, leaving empty chairs in court as survivors, experts, and journalists testify. Former special interlocutor Kimberly Murray warns change only comes when Indigenous voices demand it. An interim ruling is expected by week’s end, with a final verdict set for September 30 — National Day for Truth and Reconciliation — aiming to amplify survivor testimony and dismantle denial.
