The RWCHR takes on the most pressing struggles for justice, freedom, and democracy around the world. Founded and led by Irwin Cotler, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. https://www.raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en/
"Any alternative to this murderous regime will be in support of and on behalf of the people of Iran. It will save lives."
— Irwin Cotler on CTV Power Play, on mass murder, mass repression, and mass mobilization by the Iranian people.
At this historical inflection moment, the community of democracies can and should "stand on the right side of history and change history on behalf of the Iranian people and really, on behalf of our common humanity."
"People all across Iran are putting their lives on the line."
At least 12,000 killed in recent protests.
These are crimes against humanity.
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine was created for crises like this.

The city of El Fasher in North Darfur has become a “massive crime scene” following a prolonged siege, with widespread violence against civilians, especially women and girls.
2026 has begun with stark reminders that international justice is under strain. Sudan shows what unchecked impunity can unleash.

Nous continuerons à demander des comptes aux auteurs et aux complices des atrocités de masse commises au Soudan et à œuvrer pour prévenir et atténuer toute nouvelle violence et famine pour le peuple soudanais.
Nous avons saisi toutes les occasions pour souligner la gravité et l'ampleur de la crise au Soudan, qui comprend des crimes horribles contre les enfants, et pour appeler à des mesures concrètes.
Mutasim Ali et Yonah Diamond ont comparu devant le Sous-comité des droits internationaux de la personne du Comité permanent des affaires étrangères et du développement international, soulignant l’urgence de la crise des droits humains, particulièrement à El Fasher, et appelant le Canada à agir.
Nous avons lancé la Coalition parlementaire multipartite pour le Soudan, relançant la Coalition Sauvons le Darfour créée par Irwin Cotler il y a plus de 20 ans.
La semaine dernière, notre équipe s’est rendue sur la Colline du Parlement à Ottawa pour attirer l’attention sur le génocide et les atrocités en cours au #Soudan, et pour appeler le Canada à renforcer sa réponse.

We will continue to hold perpetrators and enablers of mass atrocities in Sudan accountable and work to prevent and mitigate further violence and famine for the Sudanese people.
We used every opportunity to highlight the depth and magnitude of the crisis in Sudan, which includes horrific crimes against children, and to call for concrete action.
Mutasim Ali and Yonah Diamond appeared before the House of Commons’ Subcommittee on International Human Rights, where they stressed the urgency of the worsening human rights crisis in Sudan, particularly in El Fasher, and called on Canada to act.
We launched the All-Party Parliamentary Coalition for Sudan, a revival of the Save Darfur Coalition created by Irwin Cotler as an MP in response to the first genocide in Sudan over 20 years ago.
Last week, we were on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada to draw attention to the ongoing genocide in #Sudan and to call on Canada to strengthen its response.

"As we write, a massacre without precedent is taking place in Sudan’s North Darfur region, and it is somehow being met with near-total international indifference."
Read about what tangible actions can and must be taken to disrupt the RSF's capacity to kill—including targeting the group’s powerful enablers abroad—and urgently protect civilians.
