Giacomo Vigna is a Canadian lawyer specializing in human rights law, serving as senior counsel for the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). In this role, he represents the commission in investigations and litigation related to discrimination, hate speech, and violations of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Vigna has been involved in several high-profile cases before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and federal courts, advocating for equality rights and against discriminatory practices in employment, services, and public spaces. His work has drawn criticism from free speech advocates and conservative commentators who argue that human rights commissions, including those involving Vigna, overreach into restricting expression. Notably, Vigna has been part of legal actions against figures like Ezra Levant, suing him on behalf of the CHRC in connection with human rights complaints related to publications and statements deemed potentially discriminatory. These cases highlight Vigna's position within Canada's human rights enforcement framework, often placing him at the center of debates on balancing rights to equality and free speech.
