Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

International law has occupied a central role in Canada’s definition as a nation. The Canadian Bill of Rights, followed by the Canadian Charter, embodied the convergence of Canadian values and global values, a collapsing of the boundaries between national law and international law. Human rights represented a form of cultural self-expression, a set of unifying principles essential to the construction of a common political and cultural space. Yet recent years have witnessed a discernible retreat from this romance between Canada and international human rights law. Whether it is tolerating torture in the war on terror, wilful blindness to the suffering of indigenous people or aiding and abetting atrocities in the name of corporate greed, there is a growing divergence between Canada and the ideals it espouses. At a time when long-cherished ideals have come under increasing strain, it appears that Canada has grown disenchanted with its past romance with international human rights law.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
