Palestinian Canadians to sue Canadian foreign minister

A group of Canadian human rights lawyers and Palestinian Canadians who have lost loved ones in Gaza are planning to sue Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly to stop exports of military goods and technology to Israel, the Toronto Star reported.

The group is alleging that the government is in breach of domestic and international law.

Canada's domestic export law stipulates that military goods or technology exports must be suspended if there is a "substantial risk" they could be used to commit serious violations of international law.
