Counter-terrorism capacity building assistance also features high on the agendas of the G8, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Commonwealth, the Organization of American States (OAS), and other bodies of which Canada is a member. New standards and regulations, such as those stemming from UNSCR 1373 (PDF 105 KB) and functional organizations such as the International Maritime Organization, the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Customs Organization have created obligations for developing states for which they do not always have the resources and expertise to respond. As a result, Canada receives an increasing number of requests to provide this assistance. We are committed to assisting others, in a manner which transmits Canadian values, such as the respect for human rights and the rule of law.
