The UN special rapporteurs say in a news release today the investigations should examine the circumstances and responsibilities surrounding these deaths, including forensic examinations of any remains to allow for the identification and registration of missing children.
The experts say Canada's judiciary should conduct criminal investigations into all suspicious deaths and allegations of torture and sexual violence against children kept in residential schools, and prosecute and sanction the perpetrators and concealers who may still be alive. Earlier this week, a UN human rights office spokeswoman, Marta Hurtado also said Canada must ensure "prompt and exhaustive investigations" into the deaths and redouble efforts to find the whereabouts of missing children, including by searching unmarked graves.
Please ask these UN human rights experts to focus on other countries as well, e.g. Yeman and Palestine!
