PETITION TO THE HOUSE
OF
COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT
ASSEMBLED
We, the undersigned citizens (or residents) of Canada
draw the attention of the House to the following:
THAT the grievous situation in Darfur,
Sudan has resulted
in the
deaths of at least 70,000 civilians, with more than 10,000 dying each
month and
close to two million forcibly displaced from their homes.
THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon Parliament to:
Take action to provide protection to the people of Darfur
by bolstering the mission of the African Union and widening its mandate
to
include the protection of civilians. Further, we call upon the Canadian
government to exercise greater leadership at the United Nations to
energize the
international community to take seriously its responsibility to protect
the
people of Darfur.
