The Frontiers of Human Rights: Reflections on the Implications of the Supreme Court’s Judgments in Omar Khadr 2008 and 2010
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The question of the extra-territorial reach of Canada’s international human rights obligations, as enforced through the Charter has been at the heart of several recent high-profile cases, including the handling of battlefield detainees in Afghanistan and the plight of Canadian citizen Omar Khadr, held at Guantánamo Bay since October 2002. Omar Khadr’s case has come before the Supreme Court of Canada on two occasions and in both instances the Court held that the Charter applied when Canadian officials interrogated him at Guantánamo Bay in clear breach of Canada’s international human rights obligations. However, in other cases courts have refused to allow extra-territorial application of the Charter, including the Afghan prisoners case and the cases of Guantánamo prisoners who were also questioned by Canadian officials but who do not carry Canadian citizenship. This article examines the different reasoning used in these conflicting cases and makes a call for a coherent approach in line with Canada’s international human rights obligations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
