UN Calls On Canada To Fix First Nations Water Crisis

The United Nations and at least one NGO have called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address water issues in Canada's First Nations, citing human rights and cultural reasons.

Human Rights Watch called on Canada to address the water advisories affecting more than 100 First Nations communities in a "dispatch" report on its website.

Senior researcher Amanda Klasing wrote that Trudeau promised during his federal election campaign to end these advisories within five years.

"This isn’t just a campaign promise but a human rights obligation," she wrote.
