Abasayiniweyo, abamele icandelo elinqamlezayo labasebenzi baseKhanada, ulawulo lwezixhobo, ukulwa imfazwe, amalungelo oluntu, ukhuseleko lwamazwe ngamazwe, kunye neminye imibutho yoluntu, babhala ukuphinda ukuchasa kwethu ukuqhubeka nokukhutshwa kukarhulumente wakho weemvume zokuthumela izixhobo ngaphandle kwezixhobo eziya eSaudi Arabia. . Sibhala namhlanje songeza kwiileta zikaMatshi ka-2019, ka-Agasti ka-2019, ngo-Epreli ngo-2020 nangoSeptemba ka-2020 apho uninzi lwemibutho yethu yaphakamisa inkxalabo malunga nokuziphatha okunzulu, okusemthethweni, amalungelo oluntu kunye nefuthe loluntu lokudluliselwa kwezixhobo zaseCanada eSaudi Arabia. Siyazisola kuba, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, asikhange sifumane mpendulo kwezi zinto zixhalabisayo kuwe okanye kubaphathiswa abafanelekileyo beKhabhinethi ngalo mba. Ngokucacileyo, siyazisola ukuba iKhanada izifumana isaphula izivumelwano zayo zolawulo lwezixhobo zamazwe ngamazwe.
Ukususela ekuqaleni kokungenelela okukhokelwa yi-Saudi e-Yemen ekuqaleni kwe-2015, iCanada ithumele malunga ne-7.8 yezigidigidi kwiingalo kwi-Saudi Arabia. Inxalenye ebalulekileyo yolu dluliselo lwenzekile emva kokuba iKhanada yaseKhanada ifikelele kwiSivumelwano soRhwebo lweArms (ATT) ngoSeptemba wama-2019. Uhlalutyo olupheleleyo lwemibutho yoluntu yaseKhanada lubonise ngokuthembekileyo ukuba olu tshintsho lukwaphulwa kwezibophelelo zaseKhanada phantsi kwe-ATT, kunikwe iimeko ezibhalwe kakuhle zokuxhatshazwa kweSaudi ngokuchasene nabemi bayo kunye nabantu baseYemen. Okwangoku, iSaudi Arabia iseyeyona ndawo inkulu yaseCanada engeyiyo yase-US yokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo ngaphandle komda obanzi. Kwihlazo layo, iCanada ibizwe kabini liQela leZizwe eziManyeneyo leengcaphephe zaseYemen njengelinye lamazwe anceda ukuqhubela phambili ungquzulwano ngokuqhubeka nokubonelela ngezixhobo eSaudi Arabia.
Inguqulelo yesiFrentshi
I-UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), eyavunyelwa yiKhanada kwi-2011, yenza kucace ukuba i-United States kufuneka ithathe amanyathelo okuqinisekisa ukuba imigaqo-nkqubo yangoku, imithetho, imimiselo, kunye nokunyanzeliswa kwemigaqo iyasebenza ekujonganeni nomngcipheko wokubandakanyeka kwezoshishino ukuxhatshazwa kwamalungelo oluntu okugqithisileyo kwaye inyathelo liyathathwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba amashishini asebenza kwiindawo ezichaphazelekayo zongquzulwano achonga, athintele kwaye athobe imingcipheko yamalungelo oluntu kwimisebenzi yabo kunye nobudlelwane boshishino. I-UNGPs ibongoza iZizwe ukuba zinike ingqwalasela eyodwa kwiingozi ezinokubakho zeenkampani ezinegalelo kwisini kunye nobundlobongela obuphathelele kwezesondo.
I-Canada ibonise injongo yayo yokupapasha iphepha elichaza umgaqo-nkqubo wayo wangaphandle wobufazi, ukuncedisa umgaqo-nkqubo okhoyo woncedo lwangaphandle kunye nomsebenzi walo wokuqhubela phambili ukulingana ngokwesini kunye ne-Ajenda ye-Women, Peace and Security (WPS). Ukugqithiselwa kwezixhobo eSaudi Arabia kujongela phantsi kakhulu ezi nzame kwaye akuhambisani nomgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle wobufazi. Urhulumente waseCanada uthethe ngokungafihlisiyo malunga nendlela abasetyhini kunye namanye amaqela asemngciphekweni okanye amancinci acinezelwe ngokucwangcisiweyo eSaudi Arabia kwaye bachatshazelwa ngokungathandekiyo kungquzulwano eYemen. Ukuxhaswa ngokuthe ngqo kwemfazwe kunye nengcinezelo, ngokubonelelwa kwezixhobo, kuchasene ngqo nendlela yowesifazane kumgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle.
Siyaqonda ukuba ukuphela kokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo zaseKhanada eSaudi Arabia kuya kubachaphazela abasebenzi abakushishino lwezixhobo. Ngoko ke sibongoza urhulumente ukuba asebenzisane nemibutho yabasebenzi emele abasebenzi kushishino lwezixhobo ukuze baqulunqe isicwangciso esiza kukhusela impilo yabo baya kuchatshazelwa kukupheliswa kokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo eSaudi Arabia. Okubalulekileyo, oku kunika ithuba lokuqwalasela iqhinga lokuguqula uqoqosho lokunciphisa ukuthembela kweCanada ekuthunyelweni kwezixhobo kumazwe angaphandle, ngakumbi xa kukho umngcipheko ocacileyo nokhoyo wokusetyenziswa gwenxa, njengoko kunjalo ngeSaudi Arabia.
Amazwe aliqela aphumeze izithintelo ezahlukeneyo zokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo eSaudi Arabia, kubandakanya iOstriya, iBelgium, iJamani, iGrisi, iFinland, i-Itali, iNetherlands kunye neSweden. INorway neDenmark ziyekile ngokupheleleyo ukubonelela ngezixhobo kurhulumente waseSaudi. Nangona iKhanada ibanga ukuba inolawulo lwezixhobo olunamandla ehlabathini, izibakala zibonisa okwahlukileyo.
Sidane ngakumbi kukuba urhulumente wakho engakhange akhuphe naluphi na ulwazi malunga nephaneli yeengcali ezicebisa ubude bezixhobo ezabhengezwa nguMphathiswa uChampagne noMorneau phantse unyaka onesiqingatha odlulileyo. Nangona kukho iinguqu ezininzi zokunceda ukubumba le nkqubo - enokuthi ithathe inyathelo elifanelekileyo ekuphuculeni ukuthotyelwa kwe-ATT - imibutho yoluntu iye yahlala ngaphandle kwenkqubo. Ngokufanayo, asibonanga zinkcukacha zingaphezulu malunga nesibhengezo sabaPhathiswa sokuba iCanada iza kukhokela iingxoxo zamazwe ngamazwe ukuqinisa ukuthotyelwa kwe-ATT ekusekweni kolawulo lokuhlola amazwe ngamazwe.
Inkulumbuso, ukudluliselwa kwezixhobo eSaudi Arabia kujongela phantsi intetho yaseCanada ngamalungelo oluntu. Zichasene nezibophelelo zomthetho zamazwe ngamazwe eKhanada. Babeka umngcipheko omkhulu wokusetyenziswa ekwenziweni kokuphulwa okunzulu koluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe okanye umthetho wamalungelo oluntu, ukuququzelela iimeko ezinzulu zobundlobongela obusekelwe kwisini, okanye ezinye izinto ezigwenxa, eSaudi Arabia okanye kumxholo wengxabano eYemen. ICanada kufuneka isebenzise igunya layo kwaye iphelise ukuhanjiswa kweemoto ezixhobileyo ezilula eSaudi Arabia kwangoko.
