Reflecting extensive investigative work undertaken in 2016 by Human Rights Watch staff, in close partnership with domestic human rights activists, the annual World Report is an invaluable resource for journalists, diplomats, and citizens, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the fight to protect human rights in every corner of the globe.

The Canadian Human Rights Act was enacted in 1977 after human rights legislation had already been implemented in most of the provinces.

This document looks at processing complaints of discrimination. Topics covered are: background; complaints procedures; form of the complaint; investigation; conciliation and settlement; adjudication; judicial review; and, offence provisions.
