About the Palestine Tribunal on Canadian Responsibility

PURPOSE: To document the multiple ways that Canadian entities – including government bodies, corporations, universities, charities, media, and other cultural institutions – have enabled and continue to enable the settler colonization and genocide of Palestinians, and to articulate what justice and reparations would require. Disrupting the victim/expert dichotomy, testimonies by survivors from Palestine will be woven throughout the hearings as a source of expert knowledge on what justice would entail. A Panel of Eminent Elders will be invited to listen to the witness testimonies and draft a report outlining the Tribunal’s findings.

DATE AND LOCATION: November 14 and 15, 2025; Ottawa (specific location will be sent to registered attendees before the hearings).

SPEAKERS: Witnesses from Palestine, as well as leading Canadian and international legal experts, academics, journalists, and human rights advocates.
