Speech on Jaswant Singh Khalra Resolution

On April 14, 2013 I had the opportunity to speak to approximately 2000 delegates on the Jaswant Singh Khalra Resolution at the NDP Policy Convention in Montreal.
The resolution which passed read as follows:
4-03-13 Resolution on Recognizing Jaswant Singh Khalra as a Human Rights Defender
WHEREAS Jaswant Singh Khalra's investigation of thousands of cases of missing, murdered and disappeared Sikhs in the Punjab earned him recognition from Amnesty International as a defender of human rights;
WHEREAS Jaswant Singh Khalra visited Canada and presented his findings to Canadians and Members of Parliament immediately before his forced disappearance in 1995;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT New Democrats recognize Jaswant Singh Khalra as an important defender of human rights and in his memory, recommit to the pursuit of justice and transparency characterized by our shared values of truth, justice and respect of human rights
