Rae included the recommendation and others in his final report released today.

Canada needs to step up its spending on the mass migration crisis and should play a leading role in the investigation by the International Criminal Court of possible war crimes, read the report.

He also suggests the federal government could target some of Myanmar’s military leaders under its new Magnitsky Act that seeks to isolate human rights abusers.

But Rae stops short of recommending further sanctions because, saying those would only hurt the 50 million people of an already impoverished country.

According to the Canadian Press, the 39-page report is noticeably silent on another major issue: how to address Nobel laureate and honorary Canadian citizen Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s de facto political leader who has been widely criticized for not speaking out against the atrocities being committed against the Rohingya.

Rae made two trips to Myanmar in recent months and describes seeing what he essentially characterizes as a slow march towards genocide.
