  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nAn international panel of human rights experts has accused Canada of committing genocide against its Indigenous population.\n\nThe Permanent Peoples' Tribunal reached the preliminary conclusion following a week of hearings in Montreal.\n\nThe panel says Canada had historically adopted a series of policies that it deemed were crimes against humanity with genocidal intent.\n\nThe panel says these included the introduction of Canada's system of residential schools and policies that forced the sterilization of Indigenous women.\n\nSurvivors at the hearings held onto each other and wiped away tears as three tribunal members read out the decision.\n\nThe international opinion court was created in 1979 to investigate crimes against humanity and human rights violations.\n\nThe judgment also says Canada has failed to meet its responsibilities laid out by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015.\n\nThe tribunal is set to hand down its full judgment on Sept. 30 for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.\n\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published May 29, 2026.\n\n_By Erika Morris | Copyright 2026, The Canadian Press.
