Human Rights Council, pledging to advance issues from online speech to access to abortion.
Advancing gender equality, LGBTQ rights, sexual health and reproductive rights will be another focus of Canada’s candidacy. The Council investigates alleged human-rights breaches in UN states, committed by governments or societal actors. Ottawa will likely also push to regulate platforms that have been used to instigate violence.
