Kanada: Apel intelektualaca za rezoluciju o genocidu

Intelektualci širom svijeta poslali su Apel Kanadskom Parlamentu da usvoji Rezoluciju o genocidu Srebrenici i Bosni i Hercegovini o kojoj se u posljednje vrijeme vode rasprave u kanadskom parlamentu. U ovom apelu stoji: 

-   Mi, članovi Intenacionalnog međunarodnog tima Instituta za Istraživanje Genocida Kanade, pružamo našu punu podršku Rezoluciji M-416 o genocidu u Srebrenici.  U augustu 2009,  član Kanadskog parlamenta gospodin Brian Masse je predstavio Rezoluciju koju uz njega sponzorira  Bill Siksay  i  Chris Charlton, članovi Kanadskog parlamenta.  Rezolucija ima podršku Liberalne Partije Kanade, Nove Demokratske Partije Kanade, Quebek Parije, Zelene Partije Kanade, Islamskog Kongresa Kanade, Jevrejskog Kongresa Kanade, Instituta za Istraživanje Genocida Kanade, Kongresa Bošnjaka Sjeverne Amerike, te mnogih drugih humanitarnih  i organizacija za zaštitu ljudskih prava i sloboda u Kanadi i svijetu. 

Rezolucijom  M-416 Kanadski parlament i  Vlada obilježavaju petnaestu godišnjicu genocida počinjenog u Srebrenici i Bosni i Hercegovini.  Istim činom oni daju svoju podršku obilježavanju jedanaestog jula kao dana "Spomena na genocid u Srebrenici" u Kanadi. 

Potpisnici ovog pisma takođe: 

1. Pozdravljaju druge institucije koje su priznale genocid u Srebrenici, prvenstveno Parlament Evropske Unije, i Američki Kongres i Senat.

2. Odaju počast i sjećanje hiljadama nedužnih žrtava čiji su se životi nasilno završili u zločinu genocida počinjenom u Srebrenici u julu 1995, kao i svim drugim žrtvama agresije i genocida u Bosni i Hercegovini.

3. Izražavaju  saučešće porodicama i prijateljima svih onih koji su izgubili živote u Srebrenici u Julu 1995, kao i svih onih koji su izgubili živote u agresiji i genocidu od 1992 do 1995 godine u Bosni i Hercegovini.

4. Podržavaju suverenost, samostalnost i teritorijalni integritet Bosne i Hercegovine, mir i stabilnost u jugoistočnoj Evropi, i pravo svih građana te regije, bez obzira na nacionalnost ili religijsko opredjeljenje, da se vrate kućama pod štitom pravednog zakona, u društvo određeno na demokratski način. 

Mi tražimo da Kanadskog parlamenta i Vlade da podrže Rezoluciju M-416.  Mi zahtijevamo da se rezolucija prihvati u  njenom trenutnom obliku u što kraćem roku. 

Mi se nadamo da će Kanada ovim činom podržati dugu tradiciju mirotvorstva i tolerancije.
