Canada Files Amicus Curiae Brief in 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on Bad River Case
The Government of Canada submitted a brief as amicus curiae to once again ask the Court to consider “Canada’s Treaty rights” by invoking the 1977 Pipeline Transit Treaty.
As Canada states:
Canada is committed to the process of reconciliation and ensuring full protection for the rights of Indigenous peoples in Canada (despite ignoring indigenous human rights obligations in recent UN Human Rights Council report), including as recognized in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (not seen in recent recommendations from the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples), and respects the rights and interests of Indigenous peoples in the United States, including the Band’s governance of its Reservation (while Tribal Nations on both sides of the border tell you to quit violating their rights). To this end, Canada supports cooperative and expeditious efforts to re-route Line 5 away from the Band’s Reservation.
Line 5 Recommendations from the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
In a Report from the Twenty-Second Session the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Economic and Social Council issued a recommendation on Line 5:
- The Permanent Forum calls upon Canada to re-examine its support for the
Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline, which jeopardizes the Great Lakes in the United States.
The pipeline presents a real and credible threat to the treaty-protected fishing rights
of Indigenous Peoples in the United States and Canada. The Permanent Forum
recommends that Canada and the United States decommission Line 5.
