Press Release:
CECCO Endorses the Eritrean Global Action for Justice May 1, 2016
The Coalition of Eritrean Canadian Communities and Organizations (CECCO), calls on the United Nations Human Rights Council to reject the findings of the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Eritrea and the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea.
CECCO, has on many occasions, noted that it has witnessed a worrisome sign of the deteriorating impartiality of organizations and mechanisms that claim to advocate in the name of human rights. These include the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea and the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Eritrea.
CECCO believes that politically motivated instruments and practices, sensationalize issues, negatively impact the social fabric of society and isolate states from the international community.
Background: CECCO is an organization that represents the following communities across Canada, The Eritrean Canadian Association of Ontario, The Eritrean Canadian Community of the Prairie Inc., The Eritrean Cultural & Civic Centre of Calgary, The Eritrean Community Cultural Centre of London, The Eritrean Community in Quebec, The Eritrean Community in Winnipeg Inc., and The Eritrean Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver.
