  • Collection
  • 1998

CCEVI was formed in Toronto in the wake of violence against ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. It organized annual awareness events, especially among Chinese-Indonesian church networks in Toronto, and support for refugee claimants, while advocating for Canada to centre human rights in relations with Indonesia.

Canadians Concerned about Ethnic Violence in Indonesia

Titled, Canadians Concerned about Ethnic Violence in Indonesia, this position paper was created in January, 1999. It provides first a brief description of CCEVI. Then it discusses “The Historical Context of Anti-Chinese Discrimination and Violence” focusing on three components: “Pre-Suharto,” “The Suharto Years” and “Anti-Chinese Violence.” After, it presents “The Events of Mid-May, 1998” with sub-sections “The Riots” and “The Rapes”. Finally, it provides both “Recent Developments and CCEVI’s Recommendation to the Canadian Government” and “CCEVI’s Recommendations” – four courses of action that it argues the Canadian government could take to help re-establish stability in Indonesia.
