From 1980-1989, Canada helped over 40 countries with varying religious, ideological, cultural and political traditions work together to produce the Convention.[83] At the first meeting of the Working Group in February 1979, Canada proposed that the preamble to the Con
vention include the first preambular paragraphs of both the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,[84] and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.[85] This proposal was accepted and paved the way for Canada ’s continuing involvement in the negotiations.[86] Like its Western allies, Canada was initially concerned that the Conventio
...[+++]n did not sufficiently address children’s civil and political rights.[87] However, Canada ’s proposal to include references to both civil and political rights, as well as economic, social and cultural rights can be regarded as mitigating the tension between the Eastern and Western blocs.
De 1980 à 1989, il a aidé plus de 40 pays aux traditions religieuses, idéologiques, culturelles et politiques variées à travailler de concert à la production de la Convention[83]. Lors de la première réunion du groupe de travail, en février 1979, le Canada a proposé que le préambule de la Convention reprenne les premiers paragraphes du préambule du Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques[84] et du Pacte international relatif aux droits économiques, sociaux et culturels[85].
