Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism across Canada

Prime Minister of Canada named the Hon. Irwin Cotler as Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism on 25th November.

Mr Cotler is a retired politician, academic and esteemed human rights advocate.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau maintains that the country and its government is committed to reinforcing and strengthening Canada’s efforts to develop Holocaust education, remembrance and research, and to tackle antisemitic hatred in order to promote and protect the human rights of its citizens.

Mr Cotler will lead the Government of Canada’s use of the International Definition of Antisemitism, and he is hoping to work collaboratively with other member countries and domestic and international partners to strengthen Holocaust awareness locally and globally.

As Special Envoy, Mr Cotler is set to support the advocacy and outreach efforts of the public, civil society and academia to encourage the adoption and application of the Definition across the country.

Prime Minister Trudeau, in the recent announcement, stressed that “antisemitism has no place in Canada – or anywhere else.”
