CANADA: The U.N. Security Council’s 1267 Regime and the Rule of Law in Canada (pdf)

The BC Civil Liberties Association is launching a report today at UBC’s law school on the UN’s 1267 Regime – an international blacklist Canada has adopted that is held out to be targeting alleged terrorist affiliates of the Taliban and al Qaeda. The report concludes that the system violates Canadian constitutional and international law.

Robert Holmes, President of the BCCLA: “In the fight against terrorism, it is crucial that we do not lose sight of what we are fighting for. Liberty, justice, freedom – none of that can be secure if we do not protect the rule of law.”

Our work is only possible with your support.
