 In a more and more polarized world, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reminds us that we are united in our humanity and, above all, in our collective responsibility to protect the rights of each person. The rights of the person are universal, indivisible and interdependent. Since its inception, the Declaration has laid the foundation for building a more just and equitable world. On its 75th anniversary, Canada recognizes the essential role it has played in our policy both at home and abroad. As a strong champion of the Declaration, part of Canada's leadership comes with addressing our colonial legacy and recognizing that our human rights record is far from being perfect. With this vein, we emphasize the importance of international human rights mechanism like the Universal Parodic Review. We remain committed to renewing our relationships with Indigenous peoples, including through recognizing the right to self-determination as outlined by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. Canada pledges to continue taking measures that ensure federal laws are consistent with the UN Declaration and implementing an action plan developed for and with First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Canada is committed to ensuring the rights of LGBTQ people in our country and abroad through our action plan and pledges to create a bare-free Canada by 2040, as envisioned in both the Accessible Canada Act and in our Disability Inclusion Action Plan. Enhancing the monitoring of human rights violations and advancing the work of human rights organizations is essential to furthering the principles of the Declaration. That's why Canada is contributing $4 million to support an in-country office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, Canada reiterated its commitment to work together to promote and protect the rights of people in our country and around the world.
