TRC Calls to Action: #42


Legacy
Justice

42. We call upon the federal, provincial, and territorial governments to commit to the recognition and implementation of Aboriginal justice systems in a manner consistent with the Treaty and Aboriginal rights of Aboriginal peoples, the Constitution Act, 1982, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, endorsed by Canada in November 2012. 

As of March 2018, no Aboriginal justice systems have been fully implemented by any government, and no concrete plans have been made to do so, although the Government of Canada says they "are open to discussing the recognition and implementation of Indigenous justice systems with First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities to whom this is a priority."
