Outward displays of loyalty to the Queen are
fundamental to Canadian military discipline, a judge has
ruled, rejecting the complaint of an army officer of Irish
ancestry who objected to toasting "an unelected monarch of
foreign origin."
Captain Aralt Mac Giolla
Chainnigh has campaigned for years to be excused from
regimental dinner traditions such as toasting the Queen,
saluting the Union Jack or singing God Save the Queen.
However, in a 28-page ruling
released yesterday, Mr. Justice Robert Barnes of the
Federal Court said confusion would ensue if members of the
military could opt out of various protocol requirements.
.....
In his judgment, Judge Barnes
wrote that the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick
Hillier, was right when he decided in August, 2006, to
support a grievance board ruling that rejected the
captain's claims.
"Whether Capt. Mac Giolla
Chainnigh likes it or not, the fact is that the Queen is
his Commander-in-Chief and Canada's Head of State," Judge
Barnes wrote.
....
Capt. Mac Giolla Chainnigh,
who legally changed his name from Harold Kenny to the
Gaelic version, is an associate professor of physics at
Royal Military College in Kingston, and a member of the
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.

Description: The exploration of space
started a long time ago with the inception of civil
aviation. This mode of transport very soon became
a matter of great interest to the military.
Today our strategists are concerned about the outer space
and the limits of our universe. We do not
have an airforce anymore; we have an aerospace force. The
first part of this thesis is a study of the air law applicable to the military operations
of our pilots. The study begins with an introduction in the
world of the international public law
and then moves on to the laws of armed
conflicts. The flight continues with a fly pass over the
laws of airwar and, lastly, the Canadianmilitarylaw. In the second part of the
thesis,
we deal with the space law
applicable to the military
operations in space. We look at the international public law and several multilateral and
bilateral agreements relating to the use of outer space for
military activities. We also
study specific problems of interest for some military
operations in outer space. Thereafter we analyse some legal
implications of the spying in space, space stations and self
defence. The Soviets'
doctrine on space laws is explained in chapter eight. After,
we do one full orbit around the law of disarmament in outer
space and land on the
international order in space in the last chapter to complete
our journey in deep space. Lastly, we finally conclude that
the military personnel
serving in different aerospace forces need a better "corpus
aero-spatialis". We, the jurists, should work to fix the
legal limits of military operations
in the air and space environment. Ultimately, we need an
international instrument determining the common rules of law
of armed conflict for
military personnel serving in their respective aerospace
forces.

I was wrongly disbarred
by the Law Society of Upper Canada on
March 23,1995. Ever since, the Law Society has covered up
its
mistake with the help of the Ontario judiciary. Ontario
judges failed
to follow the rule of law by ignoring my uncontested
evidence when
I represented myself after my wrongful disbarment. ....
....
In early
1991, as a defending officer at a court martial I tried
to persuade
a witness to give truthful testimony to save my client
from a wrongful
conviction on a charge of aggravated assault. My client,
Cpl. John Gravline,
was clearly wrongly convicted.
As a result of my conduct, my military career was
destroyed by a malicious
Judge Advocate General (Commodore Peter Partner) who
sought his revenge
against me for the togue-lashing he got from Justice
Muldoon of the Federal Court;
I was illegally re-prosecuted as a civilian under the
Canadian military justice
system after my military appeal was allowed on May 12,
1992, (also as a result
of the JAG's malice); federal MPs of all parties ignored
my case - I'm sure they
were all covering up the neglect of their leaders; I was
wrongly disbarred by the
Law Society of Upper Canada; and I was subjected to a
comprehensive failure of
Ontario judges to follow the rule of law after my
wrongful disbarment. ....

Mr. MacKenzie provided us
with the following information.
Mr. Hainsworth was a defence
counsel on a court martial proceeding
and that role gave rise to the allegations of
professional misconduct
in this case. Mr. Hainsworth had joined the Judge
Advocate General
(JAG) in l987 and was called to the Bar in l980. The
incident giving
rise to these discipline proceedings occurred in l99l.
Mr. Hainsworth
was dismissed from the Canadian Forces in January of
l992. Mr. Hainsworth
was court martialled on two charges. As a result of plea
negotiations,
Mr. Hainsworth pleaded guilty to a charge of fraud on
the government.
Mr. MacKenzie advised us that Mr. Hainsworth appealed
that decision based
on the Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v.
Generaux 70 CCC (3d) (3d)
that s.ll(d) of the Charter had been violated by the
court martial
proceedings. Mr. Hainsworth was successful on the
appeal. A second prosecution
was commenced, but Mr. Hainsworth successfully argued
that a procedural error
had been made and that charge did not proceed. Mr.
MacKenzie advised us that
at the present time he was uncertain whether a third
attempt would be made
to proceed with a court martial against Mr. Hainsworth.

English Abstract
The Military Police is a special federal police force in
Canada with unique authority, designed to support military
commanders both in
operations and in garrison. However, it has historically been
under the command of non-Military Police officers, and is
consequently
not governed like other police forces in Canada. Part of this
arrangement can be explained by its special military duties,
but much of
it is the result of a tradition that is at odds with current
societal norms. It is the position of the author that
differences in norms between
the Military Police and other Canadian police forces can only
be justified by bona fide military requirements. This article
proposes
pragmatic changes that would see the Canadian Forces Provost
Marshal, who is the senior Military Police officer of the
Canadian
Forces, command all Military Police. Their duties and
functions, however, would be guided by a newly established
Military Police
Services Board. This Board would provide transparent policy
guidance and require equally transparent accountability from
the
Military Police in a manner that respects the norms of
Canadian law and other police services. Reprinted by

[Abstract]
The current scholarly investigations into Canada's role at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE) incorrectly identifies the Canadian government's motives and interests in the prosecution of Japan's wartime leadership. The careful examination of External Affairs files at the National Archives of Canada and records from the Department of National Defence at the Directorate of History reveal a wide range of incentives for Canada's participation in the post-war reconstruction of Japan. The appointment of a Canadian judge and prosecutor to the inter-Allied military court resulted from a determined effort to secure retribution for the brutal treatment of Canadian nationals and military personnel during the Pacific War. Brigadier Henry G. Nolan and Justice Edward S.McDougall secured influence from Canada's Allied partners through their dedication and determination to serve the cause of justice. A subsequent motivation for participating in the Allied administration of justice in the Far Eastwas the potential to expand Canada's economic partnership with Japan. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

This article examines the renewed
interest which legal scholars, courts, and practitioners
are giving to military
justice. In light of this heightened interest,
there have been
a number of calls to reform the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Specifically, there is pressure to change and reduce the
role of the military commander in the justice system.
This pressure for change comes in part due to the
changes made in the military codes of the United Kingdom
and Canada.
This paper examines whether the United States
should make similar changes. The paper looks in detail
at the reasons for the modifications to the military
codes of the United Kingdom and Canada, and the
specific changes
that those countries made. The paper next compares those
changes with the approach taken in this country
regarding the role of the military commander. The paper
also
examines some of the possible unintended consequences
that come with reducing the role of the commander in military justice.
Finally, the paper offers specific recommendations
for Congress to consider in making an assessment of the
appropriate role for the commander in the military justice
system. (source:

One consequence of the “civilianization” of the military
justice systems in Canada
the United Kingdom and elsewhere potentially impacts
the commander’s own personal criminal liability. The
doctrine of command responsibility holds that a commander
may be criminally liable
for the law of war violations committed by the forces under
his command if a commander fails to prevent, suppress, or
punish law of war
violations that he either knew about or was reckless or
negligent in failing to notice, he can be punished as if he
committed the underlying
offenses. It is the commander who, by use of all the
resources and authority available to him, ensures that his
forces do not violate the laws
of war. If those forces do, it is in large part attributable
to the commander’s failings. If, as a result of the
civilianization of military justice,
commanders lose a significant portion of the disciplinary
authority they have traditionally held, do they no longer
occupy that critical
position of responsibility over the forces under their
command? If they have lost that authority, to whom does the
law now turn to for
accountability? Does the commander, who has lost some of his
authority, lose the ability to maintain discipline through
the military
justice system, and does he find himself in a situation
where he is given responsibility to maintain discipline and
control without having
sufficient authority to meet that obligation? This article
raises and addresses these important questions and it
provides a framework for
considering military justice reforms that preserve the
commander’s critical role in law of war compliance.

incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights
into UK law.
Recognizing that faculty also
need training opportunities to support the continual
development of their teaching, she was one of the
organizers of the first Canadian "Teaching IHL Workshop"
in 2012, hosted in partnership with the Canadian Red
Cross, the Canadian
Forces Military Law Centre, and the Washington
Delegation of the International Committee of the Red
Cross. Bringing together law
professors, military lawyers, and humanitarian law
practitioners, the two-day workshop focussed on how we
teach international
humanitarian law in the Canadian law school setting,
whether as a stand-alone course or as part of a course
on constitutional law,
international criminal law, international human rights
law, or national security law.
We already know that certain problems need to be fixed.
Our Forces need the right equipment to do their jobs, and
taxpayers need value for money. The Conservatives have
demonstrated time and again that they aren’t capable of
delivering either.
An NDP government would get military procurement back on
track. We would implement an open and transparent
bidding process to replace our aging CF-18 fleet, and we
would ensure that Canada’s shipbuilding strategy serves
the needs of our military.
We have already committed to enhancing our search and
rescue capabilities to meet international standards in
response times, and our capabilities in the North need to
be enhanced.
We would be there to support members of the Canadian
Armed Forces and their families, in particular when they
are ill or injured.
Mental health challenges, particularly PTSD, continue to
be a critical situation, with some of the most severe
cases
resulting in death. Despite receiving an abundance of
concrete recommendations from experts in the field, and a
comprehensive study undertaken by the House of Commons
Standing Committee on National Defence, the current
government has failed to implement many of the
recommendations, leaving ill CAF members struggling to
find
care. This would receive top priority under an NDP
government.
We would also review the Universality of Service rule,
which the Canadian Forces Ombudsman has called “arbitrary
and unfair,” and seek to ensure that fear of discharge
would not prevent CAF members from coming forward to
obtain treatment for mental health issues.
Finally, there must be a top-to-bottom commitment to
eradicate sexual harassment and assault from our military.
We would ensure full implementation of the recommendations
of the Deschamps report, and consider required
changes to our military justice system.
Canadians deserve a new vision for defence strategy in
the 21st century — one where our military is
well-equipped,
world class, and supports its personnel. With an NDP
government, they’ll get it.

Ten years ago, the Somalia inquiry

cover-up recommended sweeping changes to
rebuild battered public trust in Canada's military justice system.
Ten years later, experts say the once problem-plagued system is
stronger
and more accountable but still in need of some fine-tuning.
"If we have not reached equilibrium,
we're reaching it," said retired Col. Michel Drapeau, a military
law expert who teaches at the
University of Ottawa. "I think DND has painfully absorbed the
lesson of Somalia. It has taken a long while, much longer than I
thought,
but through time and through changes and through a new generation
of people, change has occurred."
Drapeau believes the much-maligned
system emerged from the Somalia affair more open and with greater
independence between military
police, prosecutors and chain of command. In fact, he said the
pendulum may have even swung a bit too far to the extreme.
He believes authorities are going
right by the book with disciplinary action in a system that allows
for a wider range of charges and stiffer
penalties than for offenders not in uniform.

Abstract
This article explores the tension between military objectives and
the “democracy value” cherished by Western civilian
societies, using the situations of injured military members and
the living conditions of civilian spouses; in particular, the
responses of the Canadian Forces to members' posttraumatic stress
disorder, and to spouses who are victims of domestic
violence. The authors show how these responses currently privilege
military objectives over the democracy value to an
extent that is incompatible with the human rights of civilians or
military members. They conclude by discussing how
military leadership training could be modified to produce an
altered balance between the two value systems.

individual consent of Canadian reservists is needed before
they are deployed internationally. The U.S. reserve
mobilization framework is more conducive to voluntary
mobilization due to the greater size of the U.S. reserves.
The seven individual components in the reserve force

National Guard, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve,

Description
Women account for a small percentage of military
peacekeepers. In the Canadian context, the lack
of gender parity was a concern at the recent United
Nations Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial
conferences, the most recent one taking place in
Vancouver, Canada. This thesis examines the
‘space’ of peacekeeping, its evolution over the years,
including a brief history of Canada’s
involvement in military peacekeeping and women’s role in
it. The research discusses the
implications of highlighting benefits of having women in
peacekeeping, the major systemic
barriers for women in the Canadian Armed Forces and
consequently in Canadian military
peacekeeping. Using a feminist legal theory lens, the
thesis analyzes the United Nations
Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 and its national
implementation in Canada.
The thesis also remarks on key conceptual issues and
possible contradictions in military
peacekeeping, acknowledging the gendered ‘space’ of
international law, peace and security.
Although the study does not provide concrete suggestions
for reform, it puts forth
considerations for change, new ways of thinking and
advocating for systemic transformations
for gender equality. This research study uses mixed
methods, drawing from existing literature,
relevant documents received through the Access to
Information Request (ATIR) procedure and
through expert interviews. The 22 interview participants
consisted of senior officials in the
Canadian Armed Forces, policy experts, legal professionals
and academics with relevant expertise
in peacekeeping and the Canadian military. Thus, the study
contributes original insights to the
discussion of Canadian peacekeeping, attempting to pave a
new way forward as Canada seeks
to reestablish its identity as a leader in peacekeeping
and international peace and security.

Detention involves being sent to Canada’s military
prison in Edmonton, where inmates undergo, by regulation, a
“routine and training [that] require[s] the maximum
effort and the strictest discipline.” Every aspect of the
15-hour days is scheduled, with an emphasis on military
drill and scrubbing rooms and equipment, while in uniform.
For the first two weeks, inmates are not allowed to smoke or
speak without permission. After this first stage, they are
allowed to speak to others for a maximum of 30
minutes per day, use the library, and have visitors. Inmates
are penalized for such misbehaviours as idleness,
inattention, attempting to communicate, swearing, singing,
and whistling. The most severe punishment available is days
in solitary confinement in a barren cell, unable to lie
down, in socks and underwear, fed only bread and water.
Consider yourselves warned, I guess.

Abstract
In early 1997, the Canadian Minister of National Defence
publicly issued an excoriating report that roundly condemned
the poor
state of leadership, ethics discipline, professional
knowledge and education in the Canadian Armed Forces
particularly among
officers. His public exposure stemmed from a series of
traumatic events that occurred in the four previous years.
The most
damning one had been the appalling revelation that some
soldiers of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, then on a
peacekeeping
mission in Somalia, had beaten to death a young Somali
teenager. The trail led right back to senior officers in
Canada and there
was evidence of a cover-up. The embarrassed government was
forced into appointing a top level Somalia Commission of
Inquiry1.
Then, in the next several months, followed revelations
recorded on camera of grotesque initiation rites and racism
in airborne units
and others. The usually complacent and unmilitary Canadian
public was shocked and indignant.2 The government promptly
disbanded the Canadian Airborne Regiment. How, many asked,
did the Canadian Forces get here from its excellent
performance
in past decades? It had fought well in both World Wars, in
Korea and had served with great distinction in the many
United Nations
missions since that time. Canadians, after all
prided themselves believing that their forces were the
humanitarian ‘honest northern
brokers’ and perhaps the world’s best peacekeepers.

Complicité
de
torture
Rappelons pour mémoire que la convention de Genève relative au
traitement des prisonniers de guerre énonce que « aucune
torture physique ou morale ni aucune contrainte ne pourra être
exercée sur les prisonniers de guerre pour obtenir d'eux des
renseignements de quelque sorte que ce soit ». Un membre des
forces canadiennes se rend coupable d’un acte criminel3 pour
un acte de torture commis par un tiers afin d’obtenir des
renseignements d’un prisonnier. Les militaires canadiens qui, en
connaissance de cause, transfèrent des détenus aux forces afghanes
engagent leur responsabilité pénale.
Dans l’armée canadienne, un directeur des poursuites militaires
est responsable du processus d’inculpation devant la Cour
martiale. Il agit sur présentation des dossiers d’enquête colligés
par la police militaire. Celle-ci se gouverne en fonction du
code de discipline militaire. Faute d’une directive
gouvernementale prohibant expressément aux soldats canadiens en
Afghanistan
de confier des prisonniers aux militaires afghans, il serait
étonnant que Peter McKay, ministre de la Défense, prenne
l’initiative
d’incriminer son personnel pour des actes de complicité de
torture. Son collègue Rob Nicholson, procureur général,
attend le
rapport de Frank Iacobucci pour décider ce qu’il sait ou aurait dû
savoir. D’ici là, motus, bouche cousue !
Face au déni gouvernemental bien charpenté, la possibilité
d’imputer une responsabilité pénale aux grandes pointures de la
chaîne de commandement, incluant le ministre de la Défense, relève
de l’utopie. (notes omises).

employee relations within the armed forces: a comparative
perspective", (December 2010) 26(4) International Journal of
Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations 401-419;
Abstract
Many find the prospect of military unions totally
inimical to the nature and functioning of the armed
forces. Yet, a number of countries allow
some form of military unionism, while others vehemently
resist any form of independent union based on the premise
that this undermines
discipline, cohesion, and loyalty. This article examines
how four different countries – the United Kingdom, Canada,
South Africa, and Germany –
have dealt with the issue of military unionism. The
British Armed Forces, like many other English-speaking
countries, have tended to approach
employee relations from a typically unitarist position,
which translates into union suppression or avoidance. The
Canadian Armed Forces opted
to circumvent the need for a military union by adopting a
more human relations or neo-unitarist approach to employee
relations. In South Africa,
the military has been obliged by legal decree to accept a
more pluralist dispensation, which has led to an overtly
confrontational employment
relationship. In Germany, where a union-like professional
association exists, the approach has been more
cooperative, even corporatist, typifying
the European experience and philosophy towards unions,
even in the military. In analysing the management of
employee relations from these
different typologies, the implications of union avoidance
and acceptance within the armed forces are evaluated.

This paper addresses the significance of military
legal history as oral history, as well as the
problems presented in studying this field due to the
quality of the material available. The courts-martial
documents of Canadian trials during the Great War were
micro-filmed from 1950-1954, consisting of 46
reels held at Library and Archives Canada. The files
contain various documents regarding a trial,
specifically
the summaries of evidence and trial transcripts. Both
offer oral accounts of the crime being investigated
and were transcribed at the time of the testimony. The
preservation of these documents allows for a novel
area of study which has yet to be done within Canadian
historiography: the oral history of crimes and trials
of Canadian soldiers during the Great War.
However, there are difficulties which arise from
attempting such a study caused by the process of
micro-filming:
the quality of micro-filming is particularly poor.
Furthermore, the micro-films themselves lack
organization. Library and
Archives Canada provides an index which a researcher
can consult to find the reel on which a particular
case can be found.
However, the index lists the files by file number,
which is lacking on nearly all of the files
contained in the reels. What
then can a scholarly researcher reconstruct about
Canadian military case law during the Great War?
[Summary] Research into the history of Canadian military law during the Great War has received scant attention by historians. British studies into the subject have,until recently, been political in nature, with a focus on discrediting the legality and conclusions of courts martial during the war. However, the research done on the subject has been plagued by methodological problems, resulting in political conclusions which are not supported by historical evidence. In an effort to redefine the subject of military law during the Great War, this study critically engages the previous work done on the subject, establishes the legal status of the Canadian forces during the war, re-constructs the theory of military law and the procedures and legislation of courts martial during the war, and provides concrete examples of specific court martial cases. The significance of the conclusions derived from this study demonstrates that there is reason to doubt the predominant assumption that courts martial during the war were arbitrary, and questions the arguments infavour of pardons for those executed during the war. Finally, this study illustrates the need for analyses of court martial trials specifically, rather than crimes, in an effort to provide a more accurate historical understanding of Canadian military law during the Great War.

LEGAL ISSUES
Because of the circumstances that led up to the Kosovo Air
Campaign, combined with
the need to minimize collateral damage, lawyers, military
and otherwise, had a prominent
role to play during the Kosovo crisis. One of the
major accomplishments for the CF
during this campaign was the creation of a national
targeting policy that established a
process by which targets assigned to CF pilots were
reviewed and validated. This process
was essential to ensure that the CF demonstrated due
diligence in the acceptance of NATO
assigned targets. Among other things, this process
included both a legal and moral
evaluation of each and every target, where a military
lawyer would assess the target in terms
of the Geneva Conventions governing the Laws of War.
It would be confirmed that the
target was a justifiable military objective and that its
value outweighed the potential costs of
collateral damage. This litmus test was done by NATO
before the targets were assigned, and,
for targets assigned to Canada, it was also repeated by a
Canadian legal officer, and the chain of
command, where necessary, to ensure that it met Canadian
legal and moral standards. If it did
not meet the Canadian standard, then the Task Force
Commander was given the authority to
refuse the target, with the full support of the chain of
command.
Another important legal and moral aspect of operations is
the Rules of Engagement (ROE) that
are assigned to the participating forces. The ROE
process has come a long way in the past ten
years, to the point where ROE development and
authorization is a mature and well-structured
process. This was particularly important during the
Kosovo crisis, where the overwhelming
sensitivity to collateral damage required very clear and
strict ROE. Fortunately, combined with
the extensive targeting review, the ROE assigned proved
very successful for the CF. This was
really a tribute to the discipline and training of the
Canadian aircrew who flew the missions over
Kosovo and fully respected and applied the assigned
ROE. If at any time during an actual
bombing attack the pilot was either uncertain about the
target itself, or if he was concerned about
the potential of collateral damage, he was under very
clear instructions to abort his mission and to
bring the bombs back. This, in fact, happened on
many missions.
With the on-going changes in the "Laws of Armed Conflict",
and the varying situations under which
the CF is being asked to deploy and operate, the military
lawyer is becoming one of the commander's
most important advisors. Therefore, the requirement
to carefully review, and build into an operational
plan, the legal considerations and consequences pertaining
to a specific mission cannot be overstated.

The courts of two common law jurisdictions, Canada and the
United Kingdom, reached opposite results on the issue of
extraterritorial
application of domestic human rights instruments. The
Canadian Court misapprehended the issue of jurisdiction and

by the ECHR, and failed to consider in detail that portion
of cases from both the English Court of Appeal and House of
Lords that applied
directly to the extraterritorial application of the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to detainee
opreations conducted
by the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.

Obituary of David Henry
It is with great sadness, the family of David Henry
announce his passing, at home, on a beautiful Canada Day
weekend day, from cardiac
arrest. Born in London, England, he came to Canada in
1921. He graduated from Lisgar Collegiate in Ottawa. He
received his B.A. in
Economics and History from Queen's University in 1939,
attended Osgoode Law School in Toronto, and was called to
the Bar in 1941.
That same year, he served in the 2nd Btn. with The Royal
Regiment of Canada and was overseas from 1943 - 44 with
the 1st Btn in
England and Normandy. He was wounded at Falaise and was
transferred to the Judge Advocate General Branch, Ottawa,
with the rank
of Captain, November, 1944.
In March, 1945 he married Elizabeth Elaine Pequegnat from
Stratford Ontario and was appointed Jr. Advisory Counsel in
the Department
of Justice. For a period of fifteen years he continued in a
number of roles for the department until he became Director
of Investigation and
Research under the Combines Investigation Act in 1960. ....

In his article Bringing Military Culture into the 21st
Century (Volume 23 Issue 12), Sean Bruyea overlooks
several key factors while analyzing
the state of the military in Canada. The same could be
said for articles by Messrs. Curtis, Webb and
Drapeau/Juneau in Volume 23 Issue 11 (December 2016).
......
Drapeau/Juneau reinforce the demilitarization curse when
they advocate that military justice should be one with
civilian justice. As well as ignoring
the special nature of military service, they do not admit
that in Canada the system of justice itself is
dysfunctional as a result of a flawed Charter of
Rights, and associated weaknesses resulting in an unending
appeal process in which “justice delayed is justice
denied.” Moreover, allowing lawyers
and unlimited appeals into the military summary trial
process at unit level would paralyze regular training and
even threaten operations (see
examples from Afghanistan).

(accessed 27 January 2018); Description The Ministry of
Overseas Military Forces was established in November 1916 to
control the organization, supply, and
maintenance of all Canadian forces overseas, including the
Canadian Corps and the overall Canadian Expeditionary
Forces, and administer Canadian forces in
the United Kingdom, especially in the training of
reinforcements. The Ministry also acted as the
communications channel between the Militia Department, the
British War Office, and the Canadian Corps in France. Before
its establishment, few officials in London understood how
Canadian forces were being led and
administered. To end the confusion, Prime Minister Sir
Robert Borden (1854 - 1937) planned to establish a military
council in England. Sir Sam Hughes
(1853 -1921), minister of militia, established an Acting
Sub-Militia Council. Borden then appointed George Perley
(1857-1938), who was the acting high
commissioner in Britain, minister of overseas military
forces on October 31, 1916. Hughes became angry, requested
to resign and then did so. Sir Albert E.
Kemp (1858 -1929) succeeded Perley in October 1917, and the
office was abolished in July 1920. The Ministry's creation
was an important step in imposing
Canadian authority over its overseas forces, and an example
of Canada's growing exertion of an independent voice in its
own imperial affairs.
This collection consists of courts martial records compiled
during or after the First World War.

Summary
"In April 2004, the federal government promulgated Securing
an Open Society: Canada’s National Security Policy. This
long-awaited document
called for greater emphasis to be placed on Canada’s maritime
domains in the post-911 security environment. This paper argues
that the Canadian
Navy’s role should be expanded for domestic maritime enforcement
in support of safeguarding national security and the exercise of
Canadian
sovereignty. After describing the Navy’s significant presence in
Canada’s maritime zones and the increasing reliance on the Navy by
other
government, the issues that shape attitudes towards employment of
armed forces for law enforcement tasks are identified and
challenged.
A simple model for executing an enhanced role is proposed. The
model does not suggest that the Navy should shift its primary
emphasis
from preparing for combat at sea to coast guard duties. Rather, it
is an appeal for powers that would enable the Navy to act upon
violations
detected while carrying out its fundamental military role. Doing
so would allow the Navy to leverage its presence at sea, and
contribute
to realizing the goals articulated in Canada’s national security
policy, specifically to provide maritime security for Canadians in
an
effective integrated manner." -- Abstract. (source: IRC

With Parliament having just made homosexuality, per se,
legal, some Canadian government agencies took
it upon themselves to find other ways to restore its
illegality.
In the Canadian military, the Judge Advocate General’s
Office was instructed by the brass to find ways to
forcibly remove homosexuals from the military. In
response, the annotated Queen’s Regulations and Orders
made a number of suggestions on how to bypass
Parliament’s, and the country’s, newfound tolerance of
homosexuality.
The rationale for the military openly defying changes
Parliament had made for the civilian population was
that only heterosexual men were “manly” enough to
contribute to combat roles, and their very presence would
undermine a unit’s morale. There were more, disgustingly
homophobic, arguments advanced, but they don’t
bear repeating here.

Today is the second day of the International Society for
the Study of Military Law and the Law of War’s Rhodes
Conference on Military Jurisdiction. It’s been a decade
since the Society’s first such conference, and much of the
conversation so far has focused on the changes those ten
years have wrought and rising interest in military justice
worldwide. In Europe in particular, the trend has been
toward shrinking military jurisdiction in favor of
increasing
civilian capacity—through education, reform, and better
communications technology—to enforce military justice.
Yesterday, accomplished speakers from the Belgian and
French ministries of defence described the extent of efforts
to not only limit, but nearly abolish, the jurisdiction of
military courts. Reports from legal officers, jurists,
and
scholars described major shifts in military prosecutorial
authorities, judicial review, and jurisdiction in nations
including Australia, Cameroon, Canada,
Ireland, Palestine, and Tunisia.

HILLMER, Norman and Philippe Lagassé, "Parliament will decide: An

Abstract Debates about Parliament’s role in deciding
military deployments are clouded by misunderstandings of
the relative legal authorities of
the executive and the legislature, and the mixture of
political objectives and democratic obligation that inform
these discussions. Much
has been written about the legal aspects of this question.
This article considers instead the issues of politics and
principle, which we
argue are consistently interwoven: while governments have
elevated Parliament’s role in military deployments for
political purposes,
the choice to involve the legislature also reflects the
idea that it is the “right thing to do” in a democracy.

Built by Yarrows Ltd., Esquimalt, she was commissioned at
Victoria on 04 Oct 1943, Swansea arrived
at Halifax on 16 Nov 1943 and worked up off Pictou and in
St. Margaret's Bay. Assigned to EG 9,
Londonderry, she made her passage there with convoy
SC.154, taking part in the sinking of U 845
on 10 Mar 1944. On 14 Apr 1944 she repeated the process in
company with HMS Pelican, the victim
this time being U 448. Eight days later, on 22 April 1944,
this time with Matane, Swansea sank U-311
southwest of Iceland. This kill was only awarded long
after the war once the records of German and
British intelligence became available. She was present on
D-Day, and for the next four months patrolled
the Channel in support of the ships supplying the invasion
forces. While thus employed, she and Saint
John sank U 247 off Land's End on 01 Sep 1944. She left
Londonderry on 05 Nov 1944 for a major refit
at Liverpool, N.S. from Dec 1944 to Jul 1945. It was the
first tropicalization of a frigate for Pacific service,
and on VJ-Day Swansea was assessing the results in the
Caribbean. She was paid off 02 Nov 1945 to
reserve in Bedford Basin, but was twice re-commissioned
for training cadets and new entries between
Apr 1948, and Nov 1953. In early June,
1949, while the Maingay Commission was still hearing
testimony,a group of junior hands in
on the Swansea, incensed at poor treatment by their
commanding officer, lockedthemselves
in their mess. The response was a forceful entry by
armed troops, a rapid court-martial of thesenior
hands, and their sentencing to 90 days'
hard labour and dishonorable discharge from the navy.

Summary The two most critical aspects of targeting
are the concepts of military objective and collateral damage
i.e. incidental loss
of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian
objects. The conventional international law definition of
military objective
is set out in the 1977 Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva
Conventions (Protocol I) at Article 52 (2). That definition
has also become the
complete customary international law definition of military
objective. The conventional international law definition of
collateral
damage and the concept of proportionality of which
collateral damage is a part is found in Protocol I at
Articles 51(5) (b),
57 (2) (a) (iii) and 57 (2) (b). For all practical purposes,
the customary international law definition of
proportionality is the same as
the conventional definition. The concepts of military
objective and collateral damage (and thus proportionality)
are linked by the
common element of "military advantage". However, for a
variety of reasons that linkage is somewhat weak and
sporadic. This linkage
implies a complementary relationship between these two
concepts i.e. as either grows or diminishes so does the
other. An examination
of a wide range of recent law of war issues, controversies
and developments confirms this relationship. The main
implication of this
linkage is that at least significant military input will be
necessary in determinations of military objective,
collateral damage and
proportionality. The major challenge of this implication is
ensuring that the resulting decisions achieve the proper
balance in the
basic dynamic of the law of armed conflict i.e. satisfy both
military and the humanitarian factors neither of which have
primacy.

evidence;
The purpose of the system of
military justice is very different. It exists not to
preserve freedom, but to preserve unit
cohesion, to ensure—to repeat myself—that young men and
women will willingly place themselves in situations of
extreme peril because someone told them to and for no
other reason. In other words, the system of military
justice
doesn't exist to reflect Canadian values; it exists to
give us an instrument with which we can project Canadian
values.
That's what we're doing in Central Asia; that's what we
did in the Balkans; that's what we did in the first Gulf
War;
that's what we did in Korea. We need an instrument as a
country with which we can project Canadian values.
As someone who was subject to this
system for 21 years, for more than an adult lifetime, I
can say that the real
key from the perspective of the men and women in the
trenches, so to speak, is a sense of fairness. It's not
whether
it's the same as what civilians have. It's whether
people think they're getting a fair shake, whether they
think
that their commanding officers will listen to them when
they have a story to tell, whether they think that their
commanding officers will give a contextual
interpretation to whatever happened. That is why the
vast majority of
people who can choose between a summary trial and a
court martial choose a summary trial. For the most part,
they have confidence in the fairness of the system.
As someone who teaches administrative
law, I would say the real core of the system of military
justice is the
doctrine of natural justice. If people think they're
going to have a fair shake, that they're going to have
the opportunity
to tell their side of the story, that's really what's
important.
I'll finish by saying that
the Canadian system of military justice is probably the
most studied system of military
justice in the world, certainly in the western world. We
had the Somalia inquiry; Chief Justice Dixon [sic!
should
read Dickson] did a study; Chief Justice Lamer did a
study; we have this meeting today. The truth is that our
system
of military justice, though not perfect, is pretty darn
good. We do not have instances of mutiny,
insubordination, or
violent insurrection by people in the service. Our
service people, in the main, have confidence in the
system of military justice.

Report of March 1997", (Summer 1997) Canadian Defence Quarterly 32-37;
Colonel Rob Holman
was born into an Air Force family and grew up in a
variety of locations across Canada
and in Germany. After graduating from high school in
Toronto, Ontario, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces
in 1986 and attended the Royal Military College of
Canada where he earned a degree in Engineering Physics.
Upon commissioning, he undertook basic and
advanced flying training at 2 Canadian Forces Flying
Training
School in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He received his
pilot wings in 1991 and subsequently served as a
qualified flying instructor and later a standards
officer flying the CT-114 Tutor jet trainer. In 1995, he
returned
to the Royal Military College where he served as a
squadron commander and supervised the Air Force’s
Continuation
Flying Training program.
In 1997,
Colonel Holman was selected for the Military Legal
Training Plan. He received his law degree from
Queen’s University and, after serving as a judicial law
clerk at the Federal Court of Appeal in Ottawa was
called to the bar of Upper Canada (Ontario) and joined
the Office of the Judge Advocate General in February,
2002.
From 2002 to 2007, Colonel Holman served as a military

Existing theoretical approaches to international human rights law governing the State's duty to respect and ensure the right to not be arbitrarily deprived of life do not provide a satisfactory analytical framework within which to consider the problem of a rogue civil airliner - a passenger-carrying civil aircraft under the effective control of one or more individuals who intend use the aircraft itself as a weapon against persons and property on the surface. A more satisfactory approach is provided by the addition of a norm of proportionality of effects that is analogous to that which has been developed within the framework of international humanitarian law and modern constitutional rights law. This additional norm would apply only where there is an irreconcilable conflict between the State's duties in respect of the right to life and all of the courses of action available will result in innocent persons being deprived of life.

Existants approches théoriques au droit international des droits humains régissant l'obligation de l'État de respecter et de garantir le droit de ne pas être privé arbitrairement de la vie ne fournissent pas un cadre analytique satisfaisant dans lequel de considérer le problème d'un aéronef civil à passagers renégat - un aéronef civil portant des passagers et sous le contrôle effectif d'un ou plusieurs individus ayant l'intention utiliser l'aéronef-même comme une arme contre des personnes et des biens à la surface. Une approche plus satisfaisante est fournie par l'ajout d'une norme de proportionnalité des effets qui est analogue à celle qui a été développé dans le cadre du droit international humanitaire et le droit moderne des droits constitutionnels. Cette norme supplémentaire s'applique que lorsqu'il y a un conflit insoluble entre les devoirs de l'État en respect du droit à la vie et tous les cours d'action disponibles se traduira par des personnes innocentes étant privé de leur vie.

and (accessed 14 June 2018);
The New
Zealand military justice system consists of a number of
tribunals presided over by military officers without
legal training
who may impose punishments ranging from simple
reprimands to imprisonment for offences under the Armed
Forces Discipline Act
1971 and other statutes. The overall constitution and
procedures of these tribunals has undergone little
change in New Zealand since the
19th century, despite significant changes in other
countries which share a common constitutional and
military heritage and despite
significant legal developments, both internationally and
domestically. New Zealand's obligations under the
International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights and its domestic obligations
under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 relating
to the structure of
military courts and tribunals are explored in this
thesis. The method of analysis employed is comparative
and analytical. Recent military
justice developments in Australia, Canada, the United
Kingdom and the United States are reviewed and compared
with the New Zealand
system. The principles emerging from overseas cases are
examined and applied to the current statutory structure
of New Zealand military
tribunals. This thesis concludes that New Zealand
military tribunals fail in significant respects to offer
the guarantees of independence
and impartiality required under section 25 of the New
Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 and Article 14(1) of the
International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights, as well as failing to
comply with the fundamental rules of natural justice. A
list of recommendations is
offered in the final chapter which, if implemented,
would bring the military justice system into compliance
with New Zealand's domestic
and international human rights obligations.

----------------------
New Zealand military courts are presided over by
military officers, not judges, and are capable of punishing
service persons overseas and at
home with imprisonment, detention and other criminal forms
of punishment. They reflect a 19th Century form of justice
and have failed to
keep up with New Zealand’s international human rights
obligations. Gordon Hook's research finds that military
courts in New Zealand
must undergo a constitutional shift to reflect the civil
justice standards of independence and impartiality, and to
also bring the military
justice system into line with those of our defence allies.

[Abstract] The Canadian political and military leadership has
consistently taken an irresolute approach to the
requirement for airborne forces. The decision to
establish a Canadian parachute capability was initially
rejected during the early years of the Second World War
because the higher command in Ottawa saw no need for
these special troops. But the war itself proved
otherwise. It was the growing American and British
development in airborne forces that eventually provided
the catalyst for Canadian acceptance of the concept in
1942. However, the senior command directed that it be
kept at a very low and decentralized level. The post
war era was similarly fraught with hesitation and
indecision. During the late-forties to early-sixties
Canada's airborne force took the form of the Mobile
Striking Force which evolved into the Defence of Canada
Force. Their primary role was the Defence of the North,
a contingency which neither the political nor military
leadership thought likely to exercise. Yet by the
mid-sixties the newemphasis on strategic mobility and
containment of brush-fire wars heralded their rebirth.
In spite of this new found rationale resentment and
institutional enmity continued to fuel the debate in
regards to the relevance of paratroopers in the
Canadian context. Fatefully, the defining moment for
the Regiment and for the public was the brutal torture
and killing of a Somali teenager who was caught
attempting to penetrate the 2 Commando compound to
steal. Once made public, the press raised larger
questions of the Airborne's suitability for the
mission, its training, and disciplinary record. In
1995, after two years of coping badly with the issue in
public, DND and the military establishment were again
thrust into the limelight with the exposure of
repugnant hazing videos. These pushed the issue over
the brink. The problem became defined exclusively in
terms of the 'airborne.' The solution was explained in
the guise of disbanding the Canadian Airborne Regiment.
The disbandment of the Canadian Airborne Regiment on 4
March 1995 and the eclipse of the nation's parachute
capability that it represented cannot be dismissed
simply as a 'knee jerk' political decision although
there seemed to be an abundance of that. The failure
rests squarely on the shoulders of the Army.
Ultimately, the failure to properly identify a
consistent and pervasive role for airborne forces and
abide by the doctrine which was developed, led to a
roller coaster existence, dependent on personalities in
power, and political expedients of the day. (Abstract

Executive Summary
The current complexity, ambiguity and chaos in the
contemporary operating environment
creates, for most national governments and their
militaries, difficulty in adequately
understanding, coping and responding to the myriad of
security concerns. The challenge is
normally one of scope and viable options. Canada is no
different. Both the Government and the
Canadian public are war-weary from over a decade of
savage insurgency in Afghanistan.
Further, the dire international economic situation has
necessitated fiscal austerity measures that
have had a significant impact on the Canadian Armed
Forces (CAF). As a result, the Government
is reluctant, if not downright opposed, to any form of
military intervention that may lead to
becoming embroiled in another long drawn-out conflict
with ground forces that will create a
drain on national blood and treasure. Therefore, there
is a tendency to say “No” to military
intervention. Yet, for the government to maintain its
status and influence with Allies, friends
and global partners, it cannot be so naïve. It must do
its share of “heavy lifting” with regard to
ensuring world stability and security. As such, this
article examines the necessity for the CAF,
which will find itself squeezed by the fiscal
necessity of the times, to simultaneously deliver
relevant, strategic expeditionary capabilities that
can quickly deploy and that will allow the
Canadian government to maintain its credibility as a
reliable ally and global partner.

- The Canadian
Bar Association:
"The very model of
an Honorary
Colonel", 6 February
2015:
CBA
CEO John Hoyles is now Col. Hoyles, having been welcomed
to the position of Honorary
Colonel of the Legal Branch of the Department of National
Defence on Feb. 6.
“It is a great honour for me to be doing this, and
I'm absolutely thrilled by it,” said Hoyles in an
interview with National Magazine. “I think it’s a
compliment, not so much to me, but to the CBA.”
The position carries a particular honour because of
his family’s rich history in both the military and the
law.
His position has a three-year term, which can be
renewed. The honorary rank comes with actual
responsibilities, says Hoyles, who will meet with
lawyers in the Judge Advocate General’s office in
Ottawa, Halifax and Victoria to talk about the
importance of their roles; and also helping to educate
and
raise awareness of lawyers in military towns about the
differences between military and civilian law.
The involvement of the Judge Advocate General’s
office in the CBA has given members a whole new
perspective on military law, he says.
“I think there’s something very interesting when you
have people that are in uniform attending the
Canadian Legal Conference. They very much wanted … the
military lawyers to be more engaged
in the profession, but the legal profession (also)
needs to better understand what military lawyers do.”
He jokes that when he was a lawyer practising in
Northern Ontario his midnight phone calls were along
the lines of, “this guy wants to talk to you to see
whether he should blow into a breathalyzer.” A JAG
lawyer working in a war zone, on the other hand, could
be awaked in the middle of the night to decide
whether bombing a certain area would meet the rules of
engagement. The lawyer who’s helping Hoyles
learn his new role is dealing with Shell on questions
of that company’s oil rights on land used by the
army as a training ground.
Hoyles was able to choose which branch of the
military he wanted to represent. He chose the army
because of his grandfather, a member of the Black
Watch who was killed on the battlefield in Amiens,
France in 1918, just before the end of the First World
War.
The Uniform Code is coming to mean something more
than military justice to Hoyles, who wore
fatigues to his welcoming ceremony with current JAG
Maj.-Gen. Blaise Cathcart because his dress
uniform wasn’t ready. First of all, he’s only to wear
the uniform when he’s acting as an ambassador
for the JAG’s office. Hoyles’ son-in-law, who serves
in the military, taught him how to shape (and shave)
his beret – which carries its own obligations.
“I was walking down the street wearing my uniform and
I see a guy in a military uniform about to get
out of a car. I am about to walk past him, and four
paces before I got to him he salutes me, ‘Sir!’ and I
have to respond and salute him as I go by him.” He got
the salute because of the beret, it seems – if he’d
been without headgear the lower-ranking solder might
have just stood at attention as he passed.

Description: The conventional
historiography of the treatment of war neurosis in Canada is limited and
suggests
that "shell shocked" soldiers were diagnosed and
assigned treatment based on their rank and social class.
According
to the literature this meant that officers and soldiers
from the upper classes were diagnosed with neurasthenia
and
given "rest" and "spa" treatments while soldiers from
the other ranks and lower classes were diagnosed with
hysteria
and treated with punitive therapies designed to convince
them to return to the front lines. However, these
conclusions
were based on contemporary medical journals and have
been formed with very little archival research. The
author,
using archival documents and statistical analysis,
suggests that soldiers from the other ranks who were
treated in
England for war neurosis were rarely diagnosed with
hysteria and were instead labelled with one or more of
several
diagnostic terms, the most prevalent of which were
"neurasthenia" and/or "shell shock". These solders were
also
typically treated with "rest" and "spa" therapies;
punitive therapies were by far the exception to this
type of treatment.
The author posits that the pre-war understanding of the
"nervous" disorders heavily influenced both diagnosis
and treatment.

"Originally from Toronto, Mel Hunt lived in many parts of
Canada and Europe during the years
he was a member of the Canadian Forces. While in the
services he was selected to be sent to law
school after obtaining an Honours degree in Philosophy. Mel
graduated from the University of
British Columbia Law School in 1977. He articled to
celebrated Victoria counsel, Dermod
Owen-Flood, (later Mr Justice Owen-Flood of the BC Supreme
Court), and began to serve as a
military lawyer in 1978.
He left the military for private practice in 1987 with the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and joined
the firm of Dinning Hunter Jackson Law as associate counsel
in 1999.
Mel practised in the criminal courts, as Courts Martial,
and in the Federal Courts, as well as the
British Columbia Supreme Court and the British Columbia
Court of Appeal on a wide variety of
legal issues including family and personal injury law. He
was qualified as an expert witness in
the British Columbia Supreme Court on military law and
military personal matters.

military grievances, summary trials,
human rights and pension matters.
Mel had a broad experience in life prior to becoming a
lawyer: construction labourer, heavy
equipment operator, truck driver, boxer, fire-fighter,
administrator and military member starting
as a private. Mel was widely regarded as a true litigator
and was gracious in sharing his
experience with junior lawyers. He will be missed.
Mel Hunt passed away on Tuesday November 17th 2015."

Walsh had been on routine patrol
about 20 kilometres west of Kandahar, travelling in the
back seat of a jeep-like
G-Wagon, when a gun discharged in the military vehicle. A
single bullet hit Walsh in the chest, above his flak
jacket.
The Canadian soldier responsible for the gun, Robbie Fraser,
was charged with manslaughter and negligently
performing a military duty. As the investigation dragged for
seven months, Walsh’s father Ben, became increasingly
angry and agitated that he was unable to get information or
updates from the military.
So the senior Walsh, a retired
RCMP officer, took matters into his own hands; rising to a
challenge is, apparently,
a family trait.
Ben Walsh reached out to Fraser
and arranged to meet him for a coffee in a cafe on the
base at Shilo. There, Fraser
recounted what happened on a dusty Afghan road after the
Canadian troops heard shots.
“They all got out, took the
rifles out and Robbie took the machine gun too I guess,”
recounted Walsh.
“They went and checked things
out. Then Jeff got in the back first. Robbie was on the
opposite side. He threw
his machine gun (into the vehicle) and then he threw his
rifle in. The rifle hit something and went off.”
....
The charges against Fraser were
eventually dropped and he remains in the military. Walsh
keeps in touch with him.

Abstract In
1998, the Department of National Defence introduced a new
public affairs policy pledging greater openness and
transparency with the Canadian public. The
military endured five years of bad publicity following the
death of a Somali teenager at the hands of Canadian soldiers in 1993.
During the “Somalia Affair,” the military was portrayed as
a closed and secret culture, intolerant of diversity and
internal dissent, and hostile towards
the media. The affair turned from bad to worse when
amateur videos showing soldiers engaged in racist and
violent activities were released. Public
support for DND plummeted. The Canadian
military needed to become more open and transparent
because advances in communication technology
have made the public more aware and the media more
critical of its activities. With this in mind, DND has
made noticeable changes to achieve this
goal. However, recent events have proven that old habits
die hard with the Canadian
military.

University (Canada), 2005, 79 p.; document not consulted; on-going
research, 19 August 2016;
Complex emergencies resulting from conflict bring together
an intricate combination of military and humanitarian
actors.
This study explores how to destigmatize the prevailing
humanitarian-military debate by standardizing constructive
dialogue
and the sharing of mutual knowledge at strategic and
operational levels between both sets of actors. Qualitative
data was
collected from a set of 18 interviews carried out with
respondents selected from the Canadian military, the
humanitarian sector,
the Canadian government and academia. While the military and
humanitarian actors are rightfully diligent in maintaining
an
arm's length distance, the decisions to work together or not
should come from an understanding of the other's mission,
mandates
and operational constraints and not out of defensiveness or
hostility. There are far more commonalities between both
sets of
actors than what might be readily evident. Hence, there may
be opportunities to find a language that bridges the
perception gap
and that is less beset with stigma.

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of the
application of military law in the Canadian Expeditionary Force
(CEF) during the First World War. In particular, this study
examines the use of the death sentence for the crimes of desertion
and cowardice in order to reveal both the structure of military
authority, and how
strictly military law was applied. While previous studies have
looked at the small number of confirmed death sentences during the
First World War,
this study greatly expands the research base by also using the
case files of commuted death sentences in order to provide a much
fairer representation
of military justice. Case files from commuted death sentences
include transcripts of the actual courts-martial, as well as the
letters of recommendation
that were provided by a convicted soldier's commanding officers.
In these letters commanding officers were expected to comment on
whether a death
sentence should be confirmed or commuted, as well as provide the
reasoning behind their decision. This study has made clear that
military discipline
during the Great War was far less brutal, and far more flexible
than has previously been supposed. There was a great amount of leverage within the
military judicial system. Every level of command was
encouraged to voice their opinion, and the opinion of Battalion
Commanders mattered just as
much, and sometimes more, than the opinion of higher ranking
Brigade and Divisional Commanders. Furthermore, in determining who
would be
executed, the individual records of soldiers mattered far less
than the timing of an offence and the behaviour of the battalion
as a whole.

The previous government
systematically blocked all efforts to investigate what
happened.
Citing operational security concerns, it refused to
provide uncensored information to the
public, Parliament, the Federal Court, and the Military
Police Complaints Commission
(MPCC). It also thwarted an investigation by the House of
Commons Special Committee
on Afghanistan, first by refusing to disclose documents
and then by shutting down the
committee when the Conservatives won a majority in 2011.
The House approved a
December 1, 2009 motion: “That, in the opinion of the
House, the government should,
in accordance with Part I of the Inquiries Act, call a
Public Inquiry into the transfer of
detainees in Canadian custody to Afghan authorities from
2001 to 2009.” This motion

1. National structures for implementation of IHL
- October 1996. Representatives of the Canadian
Permanent Mission took part in the Meeting of experts on
committees or other bodies for the national implementation
of IHL, organized by the ICRC in Geneva.
- March 1998. Discussions were under way on the
establishment of a Canadian National Committee on
International Humanitarian Law, in accordance with a
Memorandum of Understanding between the Departments of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade, National Defence
and Justice, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian
International Development Agency and the Canadian Red Cross
Society. Representatives of these departments and bodies
were to be the core members of the Committee; other members
may be designated on an ad hoc basis for particular
projects. The Committee's main functions will be to the
facilitate implementation of IHL and to offer advice on
dissemination. It is anticipated that the Committee will
meet two or three times a year, and special meetings may be
convened as needed. The Canadian Red Cross will provide
secretariat services. The first meeting was scheduled for
March 1998.
2. Legislative and administrative measures
- Canada ratified the 1980 Convention on Certain
Conventional Weapons in 1994 and the 1993 Chemical Weapons
Convention in 1995. It ratified the Ottawa treaty banning
anti-personnel landmines in 1997, and adopted implementing
legislation the same year (Bill C-22, passed by the House of
Commons on 24 November 1997).
- April 1998. The Canadian National Committee on
International Humanitarian Law was formally established on
the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding of 18 March
signed by the Departments represented on the Committee.

"La guerre et son étude ont pendant longtemps
été un domaine appartenant au champ des sciences
politiques, car elle relevait de la sphère inter étatique.
Suite aux deux grandes guerres du 20 siècle, le droit et
la sociologie s'y sont intéressés et ont d'ailleurs
développé des concepts ainsi que des théories
afin d'aborder la guerre: que ce soit le droit
international et la pénalisation de certains comportements
à travers un système de justice international ou
que ce soit par l'étude des acteurs et des mouvements de
la guerre. Or, la criminologie en tant que discipline des
sciences sociales spécialisée dans l'étude
du crime, la pénologie du crime et les politiques de
contrôle de la criminalité ne s'est pas ou très peu
aventurée dans l'étude des guerres et plus
précisément dans l'étude des crimes de guerre. Cette
recherche se veut un exercice pratique de l'application de
théories criminologiques à un cas
présentant une situation de crime de guerre. Le choix
s'est arrêté sur l'affaire somalienne de 1993, une
situation délicate bien connue par le public
canadien de par sa vaste médiatisation. Pour cette étude,
nous cherchions à évaluer et à sonder l'utilité d'une
application de théories criminologiques
en choisissant comme objet d'étude l'interprétation des
membres des propres Forces canadiennes des évènements de
l'affaire somalienne. Compte
tenu l'univers technique des militaires, ainsi que la
complexité de l'affaire somalienne, cette étude ne
cherchera pas à contribuer à l'étude des
interprétations sociales des crimes de guerre, mais elle
évaluera le processus d'application de deux théories
criminologiques à cet objet d'étude. Nos
choix méthodologiques ont dans leur ensemble constitué une
partie de notre objet de recherche. À travers une méthode
qualitative, nous avons
recueilli et choisi deux témoignages de militaires de la
Commission d'enquête royale et d'un des procès à la cour
martiale à travers desquels s'insérait
un récit des évènements. L'analyse narrative a été
appliquée permettant de déceler des caractéristiques
narratives quant au contenu, mais également
quant à la fonction du narrateur de ces récits. Bien que
l'échantillon choisi est très limité l'analyse du matériel
a permit de tirer certaines tendances
L'analyse de la mobilisation des cadres normatifs
pour définir le caractère déviant ainsi que celle de la
gestion des problèmes sous la perspective
de la profession a dans les deux cas permis d'identifier
qu'il existe plusieurs interprétations des évènements et
ce, malgré la culture sociale militaire
et la même formation académique à caractère militaire.
D'autre part, ces deux analyses indiquent que la position
hiérarchique du militaire devient
un facteur important non seulement lorsque vient le moment
de définir le crime de guerre, mais également quant à la
gestion du problème suite à
ces évènements. Ainsi, bien que les militaires partagent
des caract?ristiques sociales, professionnelles et
culturelles communes, ce sera plutôt
l'appartenance au groupe militaire et plus encore la
position hiérarchique occupée au sein de l'institution qui
influencent l'interprétation des militaires
par rapport à des situations telles que les crimes de
guerre. Au delà? de ces résultats, cette étude vise plutôt
à contribuer au débat quant à l'absence
des études sur les crimes de guerre en criminologie."

JACKSON, Paul,Courting homosexuals in the
military: The
management of homosexuality in the Canadianmilitary, 1939–1945,
Thesis
(Ph. D.)--Queen's University, 2002, 866 p., thesis advisor:
Karen Dubinsky;
Description: During the Second World War,
contradictory anti-homosexual policies in all three
branches of the Canadianmilitary made homosexual men
vulnerable to discipline and punishment. The category of
‘homosexual’
was inflexibly cast as invidious in public discourse.
Medical policy required the immediate discharge of
homosexuals
as ‘military misfits.’
Under militarylaw, servicemen were
court-martialled for homosexual indecency. As the war
progressed, more extensive policing and surveillance
techniques meant that queer men were increasingly likely
to be
discovered and prosecuted. Since the regulations governing
homosexual activity were promulgated poorly and
enforced erratically, many men were unaware of them until
they were caught. However, all knew that homosexuality
was a serious offence against morality and masculinity.
Meanwhile, queer men were commonly appreciated at a
personal and professional level, where they were not
originally judged categorically as ‘homosexual.’ Many
servicemen
at all levels of command protected their queer comrades
and subordinates from the gaze of hostile military
authorities.
The mobilisation for war provided queer men with
unprecedented opportunities in Canada and overseas to
explore their
sexuality. While they were active in all types of military
units, their visibility depended on the opportunities
offered by
their units. In all services, officers found guilty by
court-martial of homosexuality were discharged while other
ranks
were most commonly sentenced to periods of detention.
Queer veterans who escaped detection often remember their
service as formative in their social and sexual
development. Loyal servicemen who were persecuted or
prosecuted for
their sexual difference remain deeply resentful towards
the nation that broke faith with them. Using a variety of
military
records and interviews with veterans, I explore the place
of homosexuality in a variety of military environments and
study relationships between servicemen at various levels
of command. I examine in detail the occasions when
homosexuality became a significant issue for men in their
personal lives and when it became a problem at the
institutional
level.

___________One of
the Boys: Homosexuality in the Military During World War II, McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, 2004, 338 pages;
Homosexuality and military service have always made
strange bedfellows. Military leaders, generally
traditionalists, have
typically seen homosexuals as unmanly, immoral, and a threat
to cohesion. While the U.S. military has garnered
international headlines as a result of its exclusionary
policies, the issue is far from new and struggles with it have
not been
limited to the United States. The Canadian military was
acutely concerned with homosexuality during the Second World
War. At the outset of the war the mammoth task of mobilizing
hundreds of thousands of troops overshadowed concerns
about their sexual behaviour of orientation. As the war
progressed, however, senior military brass became increasingly
determined to rid the services of those engaged in
"disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind." Using an wide array
of
sources - including long-closed court martial records,
psychiatric and personnel files, unit war diaries, films, and
oral
histories - Paul Jackson relates the struggle of queer
servicemen of all ranks and branches of the Canadian military
to
fit in and avoid losing their careers and reputations. Open
Secrets, a National Film Board of Canada documentary, was
based on this book.

Jean-Marc Jacob
JACOB, Jean-Marc, 1947-,
veterinarian, member of the House of Commons; on the Jacob affair,
see:
Jacob faced accusations that he advised
Quebec members of the Canadian Forces to join a
Quebec army if there was a winning vote for
Quebec sovereignty in the 1995 Quebec referendum.
The prevailing Liberal government decided to
investigate these remarks, while the
Reform demanded Jacob be charged with sedition.
Reaction to this incident included a 22 March
1996 sketch on the English language
television comedy series Royal Canadian Air Farce
where Jacob "learns the meaning of the word
sedition". [footnotes omitted]
The Bloc Quebecois, it appears, has got away with it.
Readers will recall that on the eve of the Oct. 30
referendum, the
Bloc sent out a "communiqué" to all Canadian Forces bases
in Quebec
urging soldiers to "transfer their loyalty to the new
country" if the
Yes side won. They were assured that they could keep their
rank,
seniority and pension benefits.
The words were attributed to Bloc MP Jean-Marie Jacob but
were printed
on the letterhead of Bloc Leader Lucien Bouchard.
On the surface, the communiqué appeared to be a breach of
the Criminal
Code sections on sedition, which makes it an offence to
willfully
"interfere with, impair or influence the loyalty or
discipline of a
member" for the Canadian Forces.
Defense Minister David Collenette called it "shocking"
and asked for a
report from the military's judge advocate-general.
That's the last official word from the government on the
matter. Don't
expect any more.
Sources in Ottawa say the government, fearful of turning
Bouchard and
Jacob into martyrs, quietly has decided to drop the
matter. There will
be no criminal charges laid.
Nor will the government pursue the matter in the House of
Commons by
demanding disciplinary action against Bouchard and Jacob
if no apology
is forthcoming. (To date, neither has apologized for
the communiqué,
although both have attempted to downplay its significance
by citing
translation difficulties.)
A private citizen - Montreal lawyer Brent Tyler - is
pursuing the case
on his own and attempting to lay charges against Bouchard
and Jacob.
But he keeps running into roadblocks. [more to read in the

I do have one caveat, however. As the Supreme Court
observed, the overriding need for a military justice
system is not just to resolve issues affecting
military discipline fairly, but quickly as
well. It is
in this area of rapidity and not in any ill-informed or
ill-prepared outside criticism that I see the greatest
risk
to the continuing separate existence of our military
justice system. While recognizing that a compromise is
needed between swiftness and resources
dictated by the complexity of the case, I fear that the
balance has leaned too far toward economy of resources and
away from swiftness of application.
If by our corporate action our military demonstrates that
time has ceased to be a factor, then a large part of the
rationale for a separate military justice
system will cease to exist

... I recently had the opportunity to serve for
the first time in my 27-year military career as the senior
panel member (juror) for a court martial.
I was highly impressed with what I saw and experienced and
want to share my observations to better inform debate on the
need for a unique
military justice system.
......
I personally found deliberating a difficult and complex
process. There were many multifaceted factors to be
considered, including the evidence
given in dozens of documents entered as exhibits, and the
testimony of multiple witnesses during the trial. Three of
the panel members were
commissioned officers, and two were senior non-commissioned
members.

For Blair Hicks, who was an Air Combat System Operator,
that time came in 2010. After serving 20 years in

for a change. In 2009, she applied for the Canadian
Forces subsidized legal officer training (MLTP -- Military
Legal Training Plan). This program had
candidates apply concurrently to several Canadian law
schools. Hicks made the shortlist, unfortunately due
to the limited military positions she was not
accepted. However, Hicks did gain acceptance into
law school at the Western University of London, Ontario
where she started her path to becoming a
lawyer in 2010, something she had wanted to do for
awhile.(p. 44)

Second, as I've already intimated, it
helped to know the field, the jargon and the acronyms.
There
is no better way to show you are an outsider than by
showing an interviewee that you have not done
your homework or have not bothered to learn the language.
In order to prepare for my interviews
I took courses on International Humanitarian Law (IHL)/the
laws of war and International Human
Rights Law (IHRL) at the University of British Columbia,
read most of the legal and academic
literature around targeting, and kept up to date with
targeting doctrine and recent targeting decisions.
I would also do background searches on each interviewee
before interviewing them to ensure I
knew something about their particular career, experience
and trajectory. All this, I suspect, is
fairly standard research practice but it really did help
to win the trust of those whom I interviewed,
and several military lawyers commended me for having
learnt so much about their area of expertise.
Inevitably, however, and much like the military lawyers
who I interviewed, I learned a lot “on the job,”
sometimes asking for clarification – “what's a TIC?”
[troops in contact] – while other times choosing
to hide my ignorance, or at least trying to. In an
interview with the former Military Advocate General
Avichai Mandelblit (the top post in the Israel military
legal system), I referred in passing to “IHL”
– International Humanitarian Law. What I didn’t realize at
the time was that using this term is an
absolute faux pas for many military lawyers who
instead tend refer to “The Laws of Armed Conflict”
or “LOAC.” IHL and LOAC refer to the same body of law but
these two names represent two very
different schools of thought; those in what Eyal
Benvenisti has
called the “IHL camp” emphasise the
humanitarian and restrictive aspects of the law, whereas
those in the “LOAC camp” emphasise the
military and permissive aspects of the law. This
single acronym put me at firm political odds with
my interviewee as far as he was concerned: he sees
humanitarians as a threat to and an enemy of the
Israeli military (see the dialogue box below with the
relevant extract). That interview didn’t go
particularly well – he shut down after I dropped the “IHL
bomb" – but the example shows how vital
it is not only to ‘learn the language’ but also how
political and divisive the language of law can be.
“Mandelblit: [The IDF legal school] teach law
to the wider military, especially LOAC or IHL,
I don’t know how you call it: which do you prefer?
Me: It depends who I am talking to.
Mandelblit: You call it IHL, right?
Me: I don’t, I call it both
Mandelblit: Very interesting, LOAC is the language of
American practitioners and Israeli practitioners;
in other places, even in the university in Israel and the
US will call it IHL. And militaries in Europe will
call it IHL, even the UK Army call it IHL. But
Canada… Ken Watkin [the former Judge Advocate General]
called it IHL but Blaise Cathcart who replaced him calls
it LOAC. And its not only methodology because
you send a message. Its the same rules, I know - the same
- but you send a message: do you focus on
protecting the civilians or do you focus on achieving the
military goals. You send a message to the soldiers
so I don’t know... you can call it whatever you want.
Me: Well, the problem of calling it International
Humanitarian Law is that it doesn’t seem very
humanitarian often.

Abstract
In this paper I draw on interviews conducted with
former Israeli military lawyers about their role
in lethal targeting operations. I argue that military
lawyers and the practice of operational law
help to legitimize and extend violence in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories. To make the
case I focus on Israel's ‘targeted killing policy’
(2000–present) and on the involvement of
military lawyers in the planning and execution stages
of targeting operations. I offer two
contributions to the literature on war and law; first,
I extend Derek Gregory's analysis of the
‘kill chain’ by arguing that targeting is increasingly
made possible by a ‘technolegal’ process.
Second, I add nuance to Eyal Weizman's account of how
law extends violence in what he
calls the ‘humanitarian present’. I argue that we must
attend not only to international
humanitarian law and different scales of law but to
the simultaneously plural and overlapping
legal regimes that govern late modern war. I conclude
with a reflection on Judith Butler's
Frames of War to think through the ways in which
‘frames of law’ have come to structure
our apprehension of targeting and war today.

Abstract
Processes of juridification are a defining feature of
late modern war. But geographic accounts of war have
generally not considered the role that law plays in
shaping its conduct. This paper explores the
juridification
of war using the concept of lawfare. Lawfare may signal
an intensification and shift in the relationship between
war and law, but I argue that understanding the nature
and extent of these changes requires a careful
examination of the historical geographies of war, law
and lawfare. Drawing from critical legal approaches
I offer a preliminary geographical and historical
theorization of lawfare so that we may better understand
the
relationship between war and law today.
Highly original analysis of the role of war lawyers in
targeting decisions, focusing
on both U.S. and Israeli targeting practices and their legal
protocols
Demonstrates how war lawyers can produce and extend military
violence, as well
as constrain it
Draws on interviews with senior war lawyers and military
operators from the Israeli
Air Force (IAF) and the United States Air Force (USAF), as
well as previously
unanalysed military doctrine and briefing papers, and
recently declassified military
manuals
.........
Description
Over the last 20 years the world's most advanced militaries
have invited a small
number of military legal professionals into the heart of
their targeting operations,
spaces which had previously been exclusively for generals
and commanders.
These professionals, trained and hired to give legal advice
on an array of military
operations, have become known as war lawyers.
The War Lawyers examines the laws of war as applied
by military lawyers to aerial
targeting operations carried out by the US military in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and the
Israel military in Gaza. Drawing on interviews with military
lawyers and others,
this book explains why some lawyers became integrated in the
chain of command
whereby military targets are identified and attacked,
whether by manned aircraft,
drones, and/or ground forces, and with what results.
This book shows just how important law and military lawyers
have become in the
conduct of contemporary warfare, and how it is understood.
Jones argues that
circulations of law and policy between the US and Israel
have bolstered targeting
practices considered legally questionable, contending that
the involvement of war
lawyers in targeting operations enables, legitimises, and
sometimes even extends
military violence.

Colonel Vihar Joshi", 22 August 2018, from Bill & Ben (JAG
Alumni):
After 28 years of outstanding service to Canada, the
CAF and the Office of the Judge Advocate General (JAG),
Colonel
Joshi will retire on 15 October 2018.
Colonel
Joshi joined the Canadian Forces in 1990 and was
promoted to his current rank in September 2009. Early
in his career, he served
in Halifax as the Deputy Judge Advocate (Halifax) and
at National Defence Headquarters as legal advisor in
respect of a number of areas
including human resources, compensation and benefits,
pensions, finance and legislative drafting. In the
rank of LCol, he served as the
Director of Legislative and Regulatory Services,
Director of Law/Human Resources, Director of Pensions
and Finance Legal Services, the
Director of Law/Compensation and Benefits, and the
Assistant Deputy Judge Advocate General/Operations. He
was also the Special
Assistant to the Judge Advocate General. Upon
promotion to Col, he assumed the position of the
Deputy Judge Advocate General/Military
Justice and Administrative Law. His last posting was
as the Deputy Judge Advocate General/Administrative
Law, a position he held for 9 years.
Col Joshi
has deployed in support of a number of CF operations.
In 1996, Maj Joshi deployed to Haiti as the legal
advisor to the Commander,
Canadian Contingent, UNSMIH. In 2002, LCol Joshi
deployed to SFOR HQ in Bosnia where he served as the

Col Joshi’s
contributions to the CAF and the well-being of its
members go far beyond his leadership and provision of

Office of the JAG. A long time participant in and
supporter of CAF sports, he served most recently as
champion of the squash program and
as deputy head of delegation at the world CISM games
in South Korea in 2015. He also served for six years
as the NCR champion for visible
minorities.
Upon
retirement from the CAF, he will assume the function
of Director General of Operations and General Counsel
to the Military Grievances
External Review Committee. He and his wife Sue, will
remain in the Ottawa area while their daughter
Danielle will continue her studies in
Hamilton.

December 2014):
Yesterday, the
Government of Canada recognized seven lawyers in the
federal public service as Queen's Counsel (Q.C.).
Formally styled "Her Majesty's Counsel learned in the
law," the federal Q.C. honours lawyers who demonstrate
exemplary
service to the Canadian justice system.
The individuals
receiving this honour are members of the federal public
service who have demonstrated leadership in their
professional lives, raised esteem for the legal
profession, and made outstanding contributions to the
development of the law.

Overview
Working environment
Legal Officers are members of the Legal Branch of the
CAF. This branch is commanded by the Judge Advocate
General (JAG) that acts as legal adviser to the Governor
General, the Minister of National Defence, the DND and
the CAF in matters relating to military law and
administers military justice in the CAF.
The Office of the JAG provides the military justice
system with military judges, prosecution and defence
counsel. A Legal Officer may also work at the Office of
the DND/CAF Legal Adviser, working in such areas as
legislative drafting, pensions, claims and
administrative law. A Legal Officer could also be
appointed to the military bench, to serve in the
independent Office of the Chief Military Judge.
Pay and career development
The starting salary for a fully trained Legal Officer is
$77,000 per year; however, depending on previous
experience and training the starting salary may be
higher. Regular promotions through the junior officer
ranks take place based on the completion of required
training and on the length of service as an officer.
During the first appointment, a Legal Officer will be
expected to complete Legal Officer Basic Training and
Legal Officer Intermediate Training. Legal Officers who
demonstrate the required ability, dedication and
potential are selected for opportunities for career
progression, promotion and advanced training.

Training
Basic military officer qualification
After enrolment, you start basic officer training at the
Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, for 15 weeks. Topics
covered include general military knowledge, the
principles of leadership, regulations and customs of the
CAF, basic weapons handling, and first aid.
Opportunities will also be provided to apply such newly
acquired military skills in training exercises involving
force protection, field training, navigation and
leadership. A rigorous physical fitness program is also
a vital part of basic training. Basic officer training
is provided in English or French and successful
completion is a prerequisite for further training.
Following basic officer training, official second
language training may be offered to you. Training could
take from two to nine months to complete depending on
your ability in your second language.
Professional training
During the first posting, Legal Officers are expected to
complete all Legal Officer basic occupational training
which will allow you to work in the varied areas of
employment within the Office of the JAG.

A Halifax lawyer [John McKiggan] has launched a
class-action lawsuit on behalf of homosexual members of
the
Canadian Forces and employees of the Department of
National Defence who say they were
targeted by the military because of their sexual
orientation while serving in Atlantic Canada.
McKiggan believes this lawsuit could serve as a template
for a larger national settlement.
He notes that class-action lawsuits have already been
filed in other provinces for discrimination
faced by homosexual military members, federal civil
servants and the RCMP.
"The nature of the discrimination and the practices are
very clearly identified within the military, so
I think using the military claims as a stepping stone to a
resolution of the broader claims is a manageable
way to address it with the courts," he said.

Despite efforts by successive chiefs of defence staff to
delegate their statutory
responsibilities down, the backlog and delays in the
military grievance system
are worse than ever. But the growing backlog in the CAF
grievance system is
due in large part to the broad wording of Sec. 29 of the
National Defence Act
which permits a member to grieve practically anything.
This is an expensive
and inappropriate use of energies and resources.

About the Book
Sebastian Junger, the bestselling author of War
and The Perfect Storm, takes a critical look at
post-traumatic
stress disorder and the many challenges today’s returning
veterans face in modern society.
There are ancient tribal human behaviors-loyalty,
inter-reliance, cooperation-that flare up in communities
during times of turmoil and suffering. These are the very
same behaviors that typify good soldiering and
foster a sense of belonging among troops, whether they’re
fighting on the front lines or engaged in non-combat
activities away from the action. Drawing from history,
psychology, and anthropology, bestselling author Sebastian
Junger shows us just how at odds the structure of modern
society is with our tribal instincts, arguing that the
difficulties many veterans face upon returning home from
war do not stem entirely from the trauma they’ve suffered,
but also from the individualist societies they must
reintegrate into.
A 2011 study by the Canadian Forces and Statistics Canada
reveals that 78 percent of military suicides from 1972
to the end of 2006 involved veterans. Though these numbers
present an implicit call to action, the government is
only just taking steps now to address the problems
veterans face when they return home. But can the
government
ever truly eliminate the challenges faced by returning
veterans? Or is the problem deeper, woven into the very
fabric
of our modern existence? Perhaps our circumstances are not
so bleak, and simply understanding that beneath our
modern guises we all belong to one tribe or another would
help us face not just the problems of our nation but of
our individual lives as well.
Well-researched and compellingly written, this timely
look at how veterans react to coming home will reconceive
our approach to veteran’s affairs and help us to repair
our current social dynamic.

October 19, a complaint has been provided to Justice
Minister Lametti, in regard to the illegal Israeli
military recruiting happening in Canada.
Dozens of prominent individuals have joined the call on
Justice Minister Lametti to investigate illegal
recruitment in Canada for the Israeli military.
An open letter signed by Noam Chomsky, Roger Waters, Ken
Loach, former MP Jim Manly, as well
as poet El Jones and author Yann Martel, and more than 170
Canadians as well as several others, has
been delivered to Justice Minister David Lametti asking
him to investigate recruitment taking place
in Canada for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Alongside
the open letter, a formal legal complaint
was sent to the justice minister.
It is a crime in Canada to recruit anyone for a foreign
military. It is also a crime to aid and abet such
recruitment by offering incentives and encouraging any
person to serve in a foreign military.
The Foreign Enlistment Act states, “Any person who,
within Canada, recruits or otherwise induces
any person or body of persons to enlist or to accept any
commission or engagement in the armed
forces of any foreign state or other armed forces
operating in that state is guilty of an offence.”
The only exception would be the recruitment of Israeli
citizens who are not Canadian.
On several occasions the Israeli consulate in Toronto has
advertised that they have an IDF
representative available for personal appointments for
those wishing to join the Israeli military.
Last November, the Israeli consulate in Toronto announced,
“an IDF representative will conduct
personal interviews at the Consulate on November 11-14.
Young people who wish to enlist in the
IDF or anyone who has not fulfilled their obligations
according to the Israeli Defense Service Law
are invited to meet with him.”

in Africa: A reflection on jurisdictional and accountability
Issues, Doctor of Laws thesis, University of South Africa,
2013, xvii, 404 leaves, promoter: Professor Charnelle Van Der
Bijl; available at http://uir.unisa.ac.za/bitstream/handle/10500/9950/thesis_kalwahali_k.pdf?sequence=1
(accessed on 10 August 2013); deals with Somalia and the Canadian
Forces;
Abstract
This thesis investigates both
substantive and procedural issues pertaining to allegations of
crimes committed by UN
peacekeepers in three African countries, Somalia, Burundi, and the
Democratic Republic of Congo. Under the current
UN Model Status-of-Forces Agreements, criminal jurisdiction over
peacekeepers rests with their sending States.
However, although the UN has no criminal jurisdiction, it has been
the Office of Internal Oversight Services that has
conducted investigations. It is argued that every Status of Force
Agreement and every Memorandum of Understanding
should contain specific clauses obligating Troop-Contributing
Countries to prosecute and the UN to follow-up. If rape,
murder, assault, and any other crimes by UN peacekeepers go
unpunished, the message sent to the victims is that
peacekeepers are above the law. Rape is the most commonly
committed crime by peacekeepers, but is usually considered
as an isolated act. The procedural issue of prosecuting
peacekeepers is investigated in order to establish whether troops
can be caught under the ambits of the criminal law of the Host
State to hold UN troops criminally accountable for their
acts. The laws relative to the elements of each crime and the
possible available defences under the three Host States,
and the criminal law of South Africa as a Troop-Contributing
Country, are discussed. The apparent lack of prosecution
is investigated and existing cases of prosecution discussed.
Alternatives to the unwillingness by States with criminal
jurisdiction under the Status of Forces Agreement or under the
Memorandum of Understanding are considered.
Considering the current rules related to crimes committed by
peacekeepers, the argument put forward is that crimes
by peacekeepers must be dealt with completely and transparently
though a Convention aiming at barring Troop-
Contributing Countries who do not meet their obligations under
international law from participating in future
operations of peace. This thesis, furthermore, suggests a
tripartite court mechanism to fill the lacunae in the law
relating to the prosecution of peacekeepers. It considers the
issues of reserving jurisdiction over peacekeepers to
the Troop-Contributing Countries which are reluctant to prosecute
repatriated alleged perpetrators. The victims’
importance in criminal proceedings and their their right to a
remedy are highlighted.

se rappelle M. Kandolo.

En 2009, il est muté dans la région de l’Outaouais,
où il se voit offrir
un poste d’avocat militaire. « C’est alors que j’ai eu un premier choix à faire. J’avais cette offre pour un contrat de quatre ans, mais j’explorais
aussi la possibilité de venir à Edmonton. Finalement, je ne pouvais pas

», explique-t-il.

capitaine. « Le 8 octobre dernier, mon contrat a pris fin. À 45 ans, et

Originally
from Tshilundu, Democratic Republic of Congo, Dieudonné Kandolo
moved to Canada in 1995 where he
was accepted as a refugee. “I had chosen
Toronto as my home,
because I wanted to learn English,” Mr. Kandolo said.
......
In 2009, he was posted in the Outaouais region and worked as a legal officer
in the Canadian Armed Forces. “For the first time, I had to make a choice. I
was
given this four-year contract, but I was also exploring the possibility of
moving
to Edmonton. However, I could
not decline the opportunity given by the Canadian
Armed Forces,” he mentioned.
During four years, he proudly wore the
military uniform and was even promoted
to
captain. “My contract ended on October 8, 2013. Due
to my age (45 years old)
and the mandatory retirement age (60 years old), I had few opportunities for
advancement, so I decided to leave the armed forces,” Dieudonné Kandolo said.
Less than two months later, Mr. Kandolo
opened his law office at La Cité francophone
with the support of the Centre d’accueil et

Being the first woman to occupy this role,
Bernatchez says that this sends a clear signal to the
Canadian Armed Forces and the
Department of National Defence but also to women and girls
across Canada and worldwide.
“We are now at a time in our history where the contributions
of women, their vision, their talents, are welcomed and that
if they
dare dream big, if they dare to give it their all, there is
an opportunity for them to be recognized and occupy the most
important

KARWANDY, Frank, 1927-2016, notes on,
Born in Neidpath, Saskatchewan, in 1927, Frank Karwandy
came from a family with roots in the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. Keen on education,
his father served as a councillor and reeve in the
Municipality of Lawtonia. Frank was educated locally in one
and two room schools, in high
school in Herbert, Saskatchewan, and came to UBC in 1947 to
study History, English, and French. He entered UBC law
school in 1949, when he
was twenty-one.
He recalls his years at UBC law school with affection.
"Four of us banded together," he says. "Bill Quinn, Roland
Barnes, Al MacDonnell,
and myself. Law classes were in the morning, and we met in
the afternoons and talked about our classes and cases. We'd
say, 'What did you
think?' and, 'How important is such-and-such a case?" The
four of us stayed together for the three years of law
school. Law School was difficult!
But not so much academically: the main problem was the
amount of work and remembering case names. There were so
many cases! The library
was quiet and I used to stay there until 9 at night. Of the
four of us, Bill, who was also from Saskatchewan, moved to
Alberta and practiced law
there; Roland went into the Royal Canadian Navy legal
branch; and Al, who was from Vernon, practiced in Prince
Rupert and became a judge
in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. I was in the same
class as Mary Southin and Patricia Proudfoot [nee Fahlman],
both of whom became
well-known judges in British Columbia."
Karwandy enrolled in the Canadian Officers" Training Corps
(COTC) at UBC in 1950, spent the summers training, and
enlisted in the Regular
Army prior to the third year of law school. Upon graduation,
he was posted to The Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal
Canadians) in Calgary. In
1955, he gained admission to the BC Law Society and obtained
his articles with the Burnaby law firm of Hean, Wylie and
Hyde. "Burnaby was
being developed so it was primarily real estate," he
recalls. "I did a lot of title searches!"
His combination of legal and military training made
Karwandy an ideal candidate for the Office of the Judge
Advocate General (JAG), which
he joined in 1956. This office provides legal advice to the
senior and commanding officers of the Canadian Forces. JAG
officers also serve as
prosecuting and defending officers at General Courts
Martial, which deal with serious military offences, and at
Disciplinary Courts Martial,
which deal with less serious military offences.
Additionally, legal officers provide a limited legal aid
service to all members of the Forces
involving such matters as marital problems and landlord and
tenant issues. Karwandy was stationed in Canada and in
Germany and saw
service in Cyprus and France. In 1982, he was promoted to
Brigadier General and appointed Judge Advocate General of
the Canadian Forces.
He retired from the Forces in 1987 and now lives in Surrey,
BC, with his wife Esther.

1946-2000: Regimentalism, Reaction, and Reform", (January 2011)
37(1) Armed Forces and Society
95-118;
Abstract
During World War II the Canadian Army was a small cadre force
augmented by citizen volunteers. It was a colonial institution,
dependent on the
British Army for doctrine and staff training. After the war, the
army became involved in a lengthy struggle to define its concept
of professionalism.
Modernizers aimed for a well-educated officer corps that was
integrated with other elites and able to influence national
security policy.
Traditionalists wished to preserve regimental traditions and
leadership based on social class. Contention between these
factions resulted in stalemate,
with modern management undercut by internal politics. The result
was the failure of professional norms in the 1993 Somalia
operation. Subsequent
reforms have put a modern “constabulary-realist” model of
professionalism in place. (source: http://afs.sagepub.com/content/37/1/95.abstract,

Abstract
This thesis investigates the problem of the maintenance of
public security in peace
operations by military forces intervening in collapsed or
disrupted States pursuant to a
UN mandate. At issue is the proper legal framework for
dealing with this problem and as
a basis for the regulation of the relationship between the
civil population and the
intervening force. The problem was analysed primarily by
using the case study of the UN
authorised and commanded operations in Somalia between
December 1992 and March
1995, including in particular the experience of the
Australian forces which were present
in the Bay Province of Somalia as part of these
operations. Investigation and research
was conducted in Israel, the United States and Canada.
Relevant literature, cases and
documents were surveyed and utilised, including the
author's personal records and
Australian Department of Defence files. Interviews were
conducted with key personnel
with first hand knowledge in the Israeli Defence Force and
academic communities, the
US Government, Military and NGO communities, the UN, and
the Canadian Defence
establishment. Conferences were attended which analysed
the Somalia experience and
aspects of the legal subject matter. The research produced
relevant perspectives and
reference material to enable a proper theoretical analysis
and also the range of practical
considerations to which the theory was applied. In this
respect the material obtained from
the lessons of the NGO and military personnel in Somalia,
and the Israeli experience in
the occupied territories was particularly instructive. It
was concluded that there is a
definite need to provide a proper legal framework for
interventionary operations where
military forces will be dealing with public security
issues and that such interventions are
likely to continue to occur. It was further concluded that
the Fourth Geneva Convention
of 1949 Relative to the Protection of Civilians can
applyde jure to many such intervention
scenarios, including the Somalia operations at certain
stages, and that rather
than being feared because of the obligations it imposes,
it should be appreciated for the
utility it offers. In this respect the Fourth Geneva
Convention is the only currently
available framework to address the identified need.

Following the lead of Ralph Allen, a number of
Canadians believed that Meyer should be released
because of the injustice of his trial. The Globe and Mail,
which in 1946 had been one of the newspapers
calling loudest for Meyer’s blood, ran a number of
editorials exploring the inadequacies of the general’s
trial. The first, entitled, “Procedure Unusual in Meyer
Trial,” argued that much of the evidence used against
the general had been hearsay and inadmissible in an English
Court of Law. The editorialist thought
Meyer should be given a chance to win his freedom before the
Supreme Court, but acknowledged that
this would not happen for it would repudiate before the
whole world the rules by which Canada judged
its war criminals.60 Another
editorial, “No Time to Lose,” claimed that haste, strong
passions, and the
confusion of war, may have resulted in a faulty verdict in
the Meyer case.61 This writer
also wanted to
give Meyer the opportunity to plead his case before the
Supreme Court.

Admiral Sir Charles Kingsmill, as the readers of Historic
Guelph are no doubt aware,
was the founding director of the Royal Canadian Navy and
also a native of Guelph
where he was born in July 1855. Exploring the life and
work of Kingsmill in the
context of the centenary of the establishment of the Royal
Canadian Navy in 2010
seems therefore, to be especially fitting. One aspect of
Kingsmill's career has not
been dealt with extensively, however. In August of 1906
while he was in command
of the first class battleship Dominion, the vessel ran
aground in Chaleur Bay in
the Gulf of St Lawrence. In the subsequent Board of
Enquiry and Court Martial,
both Kingsmill and his Navigating Officer were convicted
of "by default hazarding,
Dominion and were sentenced to be severely reprimanded.
This no doubt was a
profound shock to Kingsmill's professional self-esteem and
played a role in his
accepting the post as the Canadian Navy's first director.

KLEIN, Kevin Edward, The Weapons Policy of the
Canadian Forces Chaplain Branch: A Multi-Theoretical Analysis,
thesis submitted to the Faculty of Philosophy, Saint Paul
University in partial fulfilment to the requirements for the
degree of Master of Arts in Public Ethics, 2009, available
at https://ruor.uottawa.ca/bitstream/10393/28564/1/MR65982.PDF
(accessed 25 August 2019);
Abstract: Military chaplains of
all countries are vehemently debating the issue of
chaplains
bearing arms. On both sides of the debate, various
arguments are advanced which get to the
very nature of the chaplain's role as non-combatant and
minister of religion. However, there
is not a consensus between military chaplaincies or even
within military chaplaincies whether
or not chaplains ought to carry weapons for their own
protection or the protection of others
especially in the present security environment. Within the
Canadian Forces chaplains are
expressly forbidden from ever bearing or using personal
weapons in combat operations.
This thesis analyzes the question of chaplains bearing and
using personal weapons from an
ethical standpoint. Three ethical views will be explored:
J.J.C Smart's act utilitarianism,
Alasdair Macintyre's virtue ethics, and Alan Gewirth's
ethical rationalism. By using these
three meta-ethical perspectives, the dialogue on chaplains
bearing arms within the Canadian
Forces can be advanced and policies re-evaluated.
"This Phd-thesis analyses three
peace-support operations gone wrong. In Somalia
(1992-1993) Canadian troops
tortured a young Somali thief to death and shot another.
In Rwanda (1994) ten Belgian soldiers were murdered,
after which the Belgian government withdrew the battalion,
giving free rein to Hutu-extremists and their genocidal
plans. In Srebrenica (1995) Dutch troops (Dutchbat) could
not prevent the murder of 8.000 muslim men by Bosnian
Serbs. The dramatic events initiated laborious and emotial
aftermaths in Canada, Belgium and the Netherlands. In
each case the question of accountability was raised: who
could be held responsible for what had happened in
Somalia, Rwanda and Srebrenica? This Phd examines this
question at both the political and military
level, as well
as at the level of the victims and their sympathisers (the
'agenda-setters', including critical journalists). A
separate
chapter is dedicated to the many 'fact finding' committees
and the problems they encountered in reconstructing the
facts. Their reports would often be 'hijacked' by other
actors. Starting point of this dissertation is the premiss
that
the events were so dramatic as to necessitate a
deep-probing and sensitive process of accountability.
Somalia,
Rwanda and Srebrenica could not simply be ignored. The
Canadian, Belgian and Dutch democracies maintain
extensive systems of accountability (ministerial
accountability, militarylaw, et cetera), at least on paper,
so
apportioning accountability ought to be possible. In
reality, hoewever, nearly all players (politicians,
soldiers,
bureaucrats) - though admitting 'mistakes' and 'bad
judgements' - refrained from accepting accountability as
such,
let alone guilt. All players used specific arguments
(often contextual: 'The circumstances prevented me/us from
protecting the local population') or instruments
(whistle-blowing, leaking to the press, bureaucratic
infighting
et cetera). They soon constructed a static 'standard
account' to explain their actions and decisions. In the
end
in the Netherlands only after eight years!) the political
and military organisations were
able to remove the
aftermaths from the public and political agenda. Advisors/Committee

Abstract
This monograph analyzes the Arctic region as a system by
examining the strengths and weaknesses of its political,
military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information
sub-systems. This investigation reveals the key nodes
(critical people and things) and key linkages (critical
relationships between the nodes). Key nodes include the
ice itself, as well as three of the Arctic states (The
Russian Federation, The United States of America, and
Canada),
the European Union (EU), multi-national oil and gas
corporations, supra-national non-governmental organizations,
indigenous groups, the World Trade Organization, the
internet, and trade among the Arctic states. Key linkages
include the Arctic Council, the Barents Euro-Arctic Council,
the Nordic Council, the EU's Northern Dimension,
the indigenous groups' councils, and the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) treaty.
This investigation also reveals the system's potential. At
this time, it could travel in one of two directions, either
becoming an area of conflict as the quest for resources
drives states to clash, or becoming an area of cooperation
with states securing their national interests within UNCLOS
while sharing information on common topics. With
the knowledge gained from examining the Arctic region as a
system and ascertaining the key nodes and linkages,
as well as system potential, the researcher examines what
this means for the United States. Using an all-of-
overnment approach, the monograph discusses the strength,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for U.S.
instruments of national power. From this discussion, the
monograph author then makes recommendations within
those instruments, concluding that it is critical for the
U.S. to develop the vision, objectives, and policies prior
to
2012, when a majority of the Arctic coastal states
must have submitted their UNCLOS claims.

Description: The Defence officials
who helped draft the Canadian
agreement included then-judge
-advocate-general Jerry Pitzul, a major-general, and a colonel on his
staff, both of whom had experience
in the laws of war and international humanitarian law,
said a source involved with the discussions.
Just as important, according to an insider, the military
officials argued that Dutch and British officials
would not be able to effectively monitor detainees in
practice, and that the Canadian
agreement was
better because it contained an explicit legal commitment
that the detainees would be covered by the
Geneva Conventions.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is
a hitherto-obscure phenomenon in the criminal law. Law
has, for too long, been "marching
with medicine, but in the rear, and limping a little."
Yet, increasing awareness of the Disorder has prompted
counsel to plead it in
both civil and criminal proceedings. It is, perhaps,
unsurprising that this disease, which was once prevalent
as "shell shock," is
the modern scourge of Canada's military obligations
abroad. When Canadian Forces (CF) personnel return home,
they are often
not debriefed, nor provided with adequate mental health
services. This neglect sows a ticking time bomb in
Canadian homes; when
the time is up, the explosion is sometimes violent, and
criminal charges are laid. Yet, PTSD is not germane to
only soldiers; sexual
assault victims, and disaster survivors often suffer
from the Disorder. However, because combat veterans
often suffer more severe
PTSD, and suffer it more prevalently, they will be the
focus in this analysis. This paper will demonstrate that
Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder can form the basis of a successful Defence of
Mental Disorder (Not Criminally Responsible, or NCR) in
criminal proceedings.
The analysis will first define PTSD as a Mental
Disorder; second, it will synthesize the Canadian law on
the Defence of Mental Disorder;
third, it will demonstrate how PTSD can form a basis for
a successful NCR defence; fourth, it will address
potential problems with the
latter assertion; and finally, it will propose some
measures to prevent PTSD in the highest risk group -
Canadian Forces soldiers - and
more effective means of treating them when they do
suffer from PTSD.
A 2008 report by CBC News indicates that the number of
CF soldiers suffering from PTSD has more than tripled
since Canada first
deployed troops to Afghanistan in 2001. The deployment
is now expected to continue to 2011. Veteran Affairs
acknowledges that
"without [treatment] - many [such] veterans have the
potential to harm themselves or others." In June 2006,
the Manitoba Court of
Queen's Bench, acquitted a CF member on this precise
defence, in R. v. Borsch. The Court of Appeal recently
ordered a new trial,
on factual grounds. These decisions, coupled with the
fact that the Defence application for leave to appeal to
the Supreme Court of
Canada is currently pending, demonstrate that this
defence is clearly relevant to the discourse in the
modern Canadian criminal law

Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of the Korean War on the
evolution of the role of the French language in the Canadian
military between 1946 and 1954. It explains how the Korean
War acted as both a catalyst for a more accommodating
stance towards the French language in the Canadian Armed
Forces, and an immediate impediment to the implementation
of such changes. Particularly, this thesis explores the
conflict that emerged between various officials in the
Department
of National Defence concerning the place that should be made
for the French language, and how best to recruit more
French Canadians. It shows that there was serious
disagreement between the Minister of National Defence,
Brooke Claxton,
who wanted more bilingualism in the Canadian military, and
the Chief of General Staff, General Guy G. Simonds, who
resisted further concessions to francophones. Moreover, this
thesis reveals the extent to which there was goodwill within
the
Canadian Armed Forces on the part of both anglophones and
francophones on the frontline in Korea. This constituted the
basis on which the Department of National Defence was able
to begin the process of implementing a more bilingual
system.
In this respect, this thesis shows the Canadian military to
have been ahead of the federal Civil Service.

Summary
In this study, Philippe Lagassé assesses the state of
accountability for matters of national defence in Canada, and
evaluates
calls to reform how the government is held to account for military
and defence matters. In the first section he examines the
national defence responsibilities of Canada’s Parliament, as well
as proposals to strengthen the powers of the House of
Commons and parliamentary committees in defence matters. The
author argues that while certain changes are needed to improve
the ability of parliamentarians to hold the government to account
for Canada’s defence, reforms must respect the principles of
responsible government. Reforms that dilute ministerial
responsibility and the adversarial character of Parliament will
weaken
rather than strengthen defence accountability. Indeed, it could be
argued that reinforcing ministerial responsibility and encouraging
partisan competition could bolster Canadian defence
accountability. In the second section, Lagassé examines the lines
of responsibility
and accountability for defence within government. He shows
that the part played by senior officials in formulating defence
policy
and in helping to keep the military accountable to the civilian
authority is both necessary and in line with statute law. Drawing
on the
history of Canadian civil-military relations and contemporary
civil-military relations theory, the study shows why the
government’s
existing structure of defence administration is advantageous and
effective. Although the administration of national defence in
Canada is not perfect, it ensures that the Prime Minister and the
Minister of National Defence are well informed about their defence
policy choices, and that the policy preferences of the government
are respected by the military and the defence bureaucracy,
regardless
of whether senior officers and official agree with these
preferences. – p. 1

Since 2006, Canada’s House of
Commons has been asked to vote on military deployments.
These votes have allowed Members of Parliament to express
their
views on the operations of the Canadian Forces, while serving
to democratize the executive's power to send armed forces
overseas. However, this practice of
consulting the Commons does not impose any binding legal or
political constraints on the executive’s prerogative to deploy
the military. The legal and constitutional
authority to send forces abroad still rests with the prime
minister and Cabinet. The practice of consulting MPs when
deploying the military remains a courtesy,
rather than an obligation.
In contrast, the British
House of Commons has been granted political control of the
executive's military deployment prerogative through a
constitutional convention.
The effect of this convention was recently shown in the vote
involving British military strikes against Syria. Unlike in
Canada, the British government is politically
bound to consult and adhere to the views of MPs before
considering military deployments overseas.
This paper
examines whether Canada should follow the British example,
granting members of Parliament control over the executive's
power to deploy the armed
forces by means of a constitutional convention. It concludes
that Canada’s existing practice has many advantages, and
that Canadian parliamentarians should
be mindful of the risks and costs involved in adopting a
constitutional convention to control the executive's
military deployment prerogative.
___________"The Military Roles and Responsibilities of
Canada's Governor General and Commander-in-Chief", report
prepared for the Judge Advocate General of the Canadian
Forces, July 2013;
This article argues that ambivalence surrounds the prerogative
powers of the Canadian Crown and the significant authority they
afford the executive in Canada. In strictly legal terms, these
residual Crown powers are vulnerable to parliamentary abolition,
displacement and limitation, and their exercise is subject to
judicial review and remedy, leading scholars to suggest that
these powers are an increasingly marginal source of executive
authority. In practice, however, they have proven more resilient
to legislative infringement than their formal vulnerability to
statutory interference implies. In addition, the judiciary's
authority to review the exercise of these powers has been
tempered by the courts' reluctance to impose robust remedies.
The article maintains that the predominant understanding of
these powers, which stresses their vestigial status, fails to
capture the actual power and acquiescence they afford the
executive.
Sommaire
Le présent article soutient qu'il
existe une ambivalence autour des prérogatives de l'État canadien
et de l'importante autorité qu'elles procurent au pouvoir exécutif
au Canada. D'un point de vue strictement juridique, ces pouvoirs
résiduels de la Couronne sont à la merci d'une abolition, d'une
supplantation et d'une restriction parlementaire, et leur exercice
est assujetti à un contrôle et à un recours judiciaires, ce qui
amène les érudits à laisser entendre que ces prérogatives sont de
plus en plus une source marginale du pouvoir exécutif. Dans la
pratique, toutefois, ces prérogatives s’avèrent plus résistantes à
l'empiètement législatif que ce qu'implique leur vulnérabilité
formelle à l'interférence établie par la loi. En outre, la
réticence des tribunaux à imposer des recours musclés affaiblit
l'autorité du pouvoir judiciaire à revoir l'exercice de ces
prérogatives. L'article soutient que la compréhension prédominante
de ces prérogatives, qui insiste sur leur statut rudimentaire,
omet de saisir le vrai pouvoir et l'accord qu'elles procurent au
pouvoir exécutif. (see http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1754-7121.2012.00222.x/abstract,

(accessed 14 March 2018);
A decade after the practice of holding votes began,
the Canadian Parliament’s role in military deployment
decisions remained ambiguous.
Consulting the House before deploying the military was
politically prudent and will likely continue as a result (Hillmer and Lagassé 2016),
but there are few indications that the Commons must hold votes
or that the executive is bound by the results. The war
prerogative, it can be
argued, was doubly converted, first to amplify the Commons
role in pursuit of the Harper government’s short-term
political interests, then
to reassert ‘the exclusive role of the executive in military
matters’, as Prime Minister Trudeau stated, echoing his
predecessor (PMO 2016).
This suggests that no significant institutional change to the
Canadian war powers has occurred. This, in turn, reinforces
Mahoney and
Thelen’s observation that opportunistic change agents often
encourage institutional inertia, rather than veritable change.

Abstract
This
paper analyses how democratic legislatures oversee the
military, using Canada as a case. The paper argues that
the tendency to engage in intrusive
oversight versus reactive oversight is shaped by
institutional structures and party preferences. Canadian
institutional structures discourage parliamentary
defence committees from engaging in intrusive oversight
of the armed forces to achieve policy influence, and
encourage opposition parties to focus on
reactive oversight efforts that complement their
vote-seeking preferences. Vote-seeking, the paper
argues, incentivises opposition parties to be public
critics
of the government’s handling of military affairs, rather
than informed but secretive monitors of the armed
forces. The paper then addresses a key case where
the opposition was able to use an exceptional
constitutional power of the House of Commons to force
the executive to disclose classified information
regarding the military: detainee transfers by the
Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan. This case
highlights the trade-offs that parliamentarians face
when
they demand information to perform more intrusive
oversight of the armed forces. This suggests that party
preferences are a significant, yet understudied,
aspect of how legislatures vary in their oversight of
the military.

Summary "In April 1988, after
years of failed negotiations over the status of the
Northwest Passage, Brian Mulroney gave Ronald Reagan a
globe, pointed to the Arctic, and said
"Ron that's ours. We own it lock, stock, and icebergs." A
simple statement, it summed up Ottawa's official policy: Canada owns the icy waters
that wind their way
through the Arctic Archipelago. Behind the scenes,
however, successive governments have spent over a century
trying to figure out how to enforce this claim.
Drawing on recently declassified material, Lajeunesse
guides readers through the evolution of Canada's Arctic sovereignty,
showing how the Northwest Passage
and the surrounding waters became Canadian."-- Provided by

LARSON, Lynn, Testimony before the Standing Senate Committee on
Legal and Constitutional Affairs, 11 March 2009 on the provisions
and operation of an act to amend the National Defence Act
(court martial) and to make a consequential amendment to another act
(S.C. 2008, c.29), Issue 3; testimony about the work of Mr. Justice
Lamer review of Bill C-25;
Lynn Larson, Lawyer, as an individual: As a
preliminary matter, I thank Jessica Richardson, clerk of
the
committee, for all her help in getting me here. It was a
surprise to receive the invitation, and I thank the
committee for inviting me to speak. You will note that my
statement is in the plural. I do not have an imaginary
friend. Catherine [McKenna] was supposed to be with me
today and was quite excited about providing our
input to the committee. Unfortunately, she could not be
here, as Madam Chair explained.
My name is Lynn Larson. I am a lawyer. I would like to
thank the committee for the opportunity to appear
before you today. Both Catherine McKenna and I enjoyed the
privilege of working with the late Chief
Justice Lamer during his 2003 review of the provisions and
operation of Bill C-25. I will refer to his report
as the Lamer report just for convenience throughout the
question period.
My work with former Chief Justice Lamer began when I was
an articling student and then continued as an
associate. I was assigned various duties on this file
including research, organizing base visits and meetings
with interested parties, and assisting with pretty much
anything that former Chief Justice Lamer requested
of me. Ms. McKenna worked as an associate similarly
assigned to assist Chief Justice Lamer.
I would like to make clear at the outset that I am not an
expert in criminal or military law, nor am I really
in a position to comment as to the extent to which the
recommendations set out in the Lamer report have
been or are in the process of being implemented, but I
would be interested to receive some questions on that
point if you are interested. Indeed, over five years have
passed since the Lamer report was tabled in Parliament
on November 5, 2003, and as you all know, former Chief
Justice Lamer himself passed away on November 24,
2007. I am, however, happy to provide information
regarding the process and approach followed by Chief
Justice
Lamer in drafting his report and developing his
recommendations. I can also provide some context regarding
certain recommendations contained in the report that
appear most pertinent to the review of Bill C-60. However,
I must make it clear that Chief Justice Lamer's report
must speak for itself and I cannot presume to speak on his
behalf.
It would be useful to provide some background information
regarding Chief Justice Lamer's report. As you are
aware, unlike previous reports relating to the military
justice system, such as those arising from the Somalia
inquiry,
the report was not precipitated by serious incidents. It
arose out of the requirement that the Minister of National
Defence arrange for an independent review of the
provisions and operation of Bill C-25, which also sounds
simple
but was not in practice. While Bill C-25 dealt with a
variety of issues, one of the main areas subject to review
was
the military justice system. A number of significant
changes to the military justice system made by Bill C-25
were
intended to address perceived deficiencies within the
military justice system, including the goal of
establishing clear
standards of institutional separation between the
investigative, prosecutorial, defence and judicial
functions. The
success of this goal was, in turn, reviewed by former
Chief Justice Lamer, and several of his recommendations
were
intended to form the basis for further improvement.
Chief Justice Lamer was given complete access by the
Minister of National Defence to the employees of the
Department of National Defence, and officers and
non-commissioned members of the Canadian Forces of all
ranks, as well as to any information relevant to the
review. Chief Justice Lamer took a consultative approach
to
his review, as he had the hope that sharing his concerns
with the relevant people and affording them an
opportunity to either institute corrective measures or
explain why his concerns were unjustified would
result in expedient reforms addressing the issues
identified by him. During the six months Chief Justice
Lamer was afforded to conduct this review, he consulted
numerous times with the judge advocate general,
the director of military prosecutions, the director of
defence counsel services, the Canadian Forces military
judges, soldiers of all ranks and many other people with
expertise in matters falling under Bill C-25.
Sessions were also conducted at bases across the country
— Valcartier, Montreal, Comox, Esquimalt and
Gagetown — where, generally speaking, we had round tables
with members involved in the military justice
system in the morning and confidential meetings with
people who requested them in the afternoons. Chief
Justice Lamer also received and considered numerous
submissions from interested parties in response to his
call for comments published in the Canadian Forces
newspaper The Maple Leaf and base newspapers where
feasible.
I believe it is accurate to say that Chief Justice Lamer
found, as a result of the changes made by Bill C-25,
that Canada could boast of a very sound and fair military
justice framework. However, as his recommendations
demonstrate, there were areas where Chief Justice Lamer
felt that further improvements could be made to
improve the military justice system, keeping in mind the
requirement that such a system need often operate
abroad under circumstances of duress, hostility and
outright war. As noted by Chief Justice Lamer, an
independent military judiciary is the hallmark of a fair
military justice system, and we can confirm this was
one of Chief Justice Lamer's guiding principles when
forming his recommendations.

This paper was
prepared to support comparative discussions about teaching
international
relations
and strategic studies in allied military colleges, at a
workshop sponsored by the
Norwegian
Military Academy, May 2015. Following discussions in June,
it is now
intended
to be one of three co-authored chapters. The second will
be a perspective on the
evolution
of teaching international subjects of RMC’s six decades of
degree-granting
status.
The third chapter will address larger questions of
educational strategy and
strategic
education of military leaders within a security complex.

WIKIPÉDIA, l'encyclopédie libre, disponible à https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salluste_Lavery,
page consultée le 29 juin 2020;
Pendant la Première Guerre
mondiale, il est officier de la Force expéditionnaire canadienne
outre-mer. De retour
au pays, il se remet à l'exercice de sa profession et il
engage ses deux fils à son bureau. En , il est
nommé conseil du roi. Parallèlement
à sa vie juridique, Lavery était un militant syndicaliste
au conseil de
l'Association des débardeurs de Montréal et de l'Union des employés
de tramways. Il s’impliqua aussi au
sein de
l'Association des bouchers de Montréal, la
Fédération canadienne des navigateurs,
l'Association des anciens
combattants de la première guerre et la Société canadienne
d'opérette où il fut l'un des directeurs entre 1924
et
1927.
En 1925, il représenta l'Association des citoyens de la
paroisse Saint-Édouard
de Montréal et autres corps publics
à l'enquête royale sur la police de Montréal.
Proche des milieux nationalistes,
Lavery a longtemps fait partie de l’association des Native Sons of Canada qui
vit le jour, sauf erreur, dans les provinces de l'ouest canadien et avait pour
devise « Le Canada d'abord et partout
aux Canadiens ». Il a été organisateur de la province
de Québec et président de l'assemblée
Lafontaine (Montréal)
de cette association nationaliste. Dans la même
perspective, Lavery a été vice-président de la section Duvernay de
la Société
Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal.
Durant les années 1930, Salluste Lavery tente quelques
expériences électorales qui restent toutes sans succès. Il
se fit d'abord connaître en se présentant à la mairie
lors de l'élection municipale de Montréal d'.
Il se
mérita la troisième place, derrière Camillien Houde et Anatole Plante. Ses positions
antisémites
n'étaient pas
partagées de tous, mais elles lui valurent l'appui d'Adrien Arcand et de membres du
Parti national
social chrétien.
Arcand et son collaborateur Joseph Ménard, dirigèrent en
effet Le Bon sens1,
petit journal qui ne paru que pour
la campagne électorale de Lavery. Cette publication était
fortement antisémite. Les assemblées liées à la vie
politique de Lavery furent souvent houleuses et violentes
et rassemblaient plusieurs sympathisants du fascisme.
Après ses échecs en politique, Lavery continue sa vie
d'avocat. Il défend Adrien Arcand et ses confrères qui
avaient été arrêtés et internés au camp de Fredericton durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
En 1963, il reçoit
du conseil du barreau les félicitations d'usage à
l'occasion du cinquantenaire de son admission à la
profession.
Pierre Lavery, un de ses fils, a écrit un livre sur
l'histoire de sa famille2.
LAVIOLETTE, D., "Freedom Lost", (1993) 55(3) Royal
Canadian Mounted Police Gazette 11-14;
Annotation The detention barracks in Edmonton,
Canada, opened in 1959 as Disciplinary Barracks No. 10,
can accommodate
up to 116 military and civilian inmates.
Abstract The inmates include military
officers, noncommissioned military personnel, and
civilians subject to the Code of Service
Discipline. Reasons for incarceration range from
insubordination to homicide. Individuals sentenced to
lengthy imprisonment
are held until their court martial appeal has been heard.
If their sentence is upheld, they are transferred to a
civilian institution
to complete their sentence. In any case, an inmate can
only be incarcerated at the detention barracks for a
maximum of 2 years
less a day. Inmates receive eight marks a day which they
can accumulate to earn privileges and reduce their
sentence. Corrective
measures in the detention barracks include loss of marks,
counseling, warnings, and minor punishments such as
additional drill.
More stringent corrective measures are implemented if
necessary, including loss of privileges for 7 days and
solitary confinement.
A life skills enhancement program attempts to help inmates
deal with alcoholism and career problems. In addition,
correctional
staff undergo a 12-day course that teaches them how to
interact with inmates.

LAVOIE, Martial Notaire, blog du, "Pouquoi avez-vous besoin d'un
avocat militaire devant une cour martiale", disponibe à http://notairemartiallavoie.com/juridique/avocat-militaire-cour-martiale.html
(vérifié le 28 août 2015);
La sélection d’un procureur
Pour défendre une cour martiale, vous avez besoin d’un
avocat plaidant. Les travaux d’essai militaire ne sont pas
pour les amateurs. L’avocat militaire doit connaître les
lois militaires, les règlements et les procédures de la cour
martiale à fond. Même si une cour martiale peut sembler un
peu comme un procès civil, il y a d’innombrables
détails essentiels que seul un avocat bien formés dans les
procès militaires verra. Aussi, votre avocat doit
comprendre la mission militaire et la façon dont les
militaires pensent. Tout au long du procès, votre avocat
devra communiquer avec les commandants militaires, des
témoins, des enquêteurs militaires, et les jurés militaires.
Tout aussi important, votre avocat doit être dédié à la
pratique du droit. Votre avocat doit avoir une expérience
significative dans la salle d’audience. Il doit avoir pris
des cours de formation de haut vol et il doit continuer à
s’entraîner et faire des recherches pour s’assurer que ses
compétences restent affûtées et sa connaissance de la
loi ne soit pas dépassée. Assurez-vous qu’il a passé sa
carrière à faire des essais contestées en cour martiale.
Votre avocat militaire doit avoir le savoir-faire et la
ténacité pour vous protéger contre le gouvernement et pour
vous empêcher de dire ou de faire quelque chose qui va nuire
à votre cas. Il doit être prêt à vous dire ce que vous
avez besoin d’entendre, et pas seulement ce que vous voulez
entendre.
Peut-être plus important encore, votre avocat ne doit pas
avoir peur des enquêteurs militaires, et pas avoir peur
de prendre des cas difficiles dans une salle d’audience et
de durs combats pour les personnes accusées de crimes
terribles. Trop nombreux sont les avocats militaires qui
craignent la salle d’audience et qui sont terrifiés à l’idée
d’avoir à juger une affaire devant un jury. Malheureusement,
beaucoup d’avocats militaires ont trop confiance
dans les enquêteurs militaires, et une trop grande confiance
dans les commandants militaires. Même lorsque
la culpabilité de l’accusé est claire, vous avez encore
besoin d’un combattant pour s’assurer qu’il obtient une
peine juste. Très souvent, le combat le plus important est
dans la phase de détermination de la peine.

Brig. Lawson: We have had these rules of evidence
prepared by the Law Faculty of Dalhousie University. The
Dean and two of the senior
members of the Faculty did the original draft of this code
of evidence. Of course* we have worked on it in the office
and made amendments to
bring it more in line with our military requirements. In
perfect fairness, I can say that the code certainly takes
away no protection that the acculsed
has under the ordinary law of evidence, and furthermore it
gives him, if anything, some added protection that he does
not have under the ordinary law
of evidence.
The Chairman: Of course, I can see some advantages of a single code.
Senator Macdonald: Is that code still available?
Brig. Lawson: We have a first draft. It has not been approved by Governor
in Council, of course, because the section is not passed, but the minister under-
took in the Commons to table the code when it is printed, and I am sure he
will be pleased to have it tabled in the Senate when the section is passed.
Senator Macdonald: Is the Governor in. Council going to table this before
it is approved?
Brig. Lawson: No, I would not think so.

have their rights—including rights to remedies—determined by
civilian courts. Production of the working paper was inspired
by the practice of repressive governments to delegate military
tribunals under the control of the executive, the power to
both try civilians and to try matters involving alleged
violations against civilians by military personnel. Such
trials do not comply with internationally protected rights to
a fair trial and due process and have resulted in unjust
convictions, arbitrary detentions and denial of remedies for
grave human rights abuses. LRWC invites feedback on changes
and additions to the working paper. (source:, http://www.lrwc.org/right-to-trial-by-civilian-courts-international-law-on-the-use-of-military-tribunals-to-determine-the-rights-of-civilians-working-paper/,

(vérifié le 14 septembre 2014);
Le premier maître de 1re classe Brian Lillie, du
cabinet du juge-avocat général région de Québec, a
constaté depuis son arrivée en poste que peu de gens
assistent aux cours martiales qui se déroulent à
Valcartier. Il croit que les militaires y perdent une
belle opportunité de développement professionnel.
C’est pour cette raison qu’il a fait appel au journal, afin
de faire savoir aux militaires et aux civils qu’ils sont les
bienvenus aux différentes audiences. «C’est important pour
les militaires d’assister à la cour martiale. Un jour ou
l’autre, ils peuvent être appelés à y participer.
D’ailleurs, ça peut les aider à mieux comprendre les
principes de droit applicables, même en matière
disciplinaire», affirme le pm1 Lillie.
Ce dernier précise qu’il est possible pour les militaires
de demander à leur supérieur d’assister à une cour martiale
lorsqu’ils sont en service, car l’exercice constitue une
forme d’apprentissage pour eux.
Ce sont 55 sous-officiers supérieurs qui ont pris
part à des scénarios d’enquête fictifs, sous la direction de
la juge-avocate adjointe (JAA),
major Marie-Ève Tremblay, accompagnée du capitaine Henri
Bernatchez, qui les familiarisaient avec les procédures
entourantl’enquête disciplinaire.

Veterans Association, before the Subcommittee on Veterans
Affairs of the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and
Defence, 28 November 2001 (37th
Parliament, 1st Session: January 29, 2001 - September
16, 2002), available at https://sencanada.ca/en/Content/SEN/Committee/371/vete/02eva-e?Language=F&Parl=37&Ses=1&comm_id=20
(accessed 12 November 2017); on "active service";
Mr. Leduc: Most of our members are members of the
Legion. We believe in the Legion, but we feel that it is off
the rails right now.
We believe that the Government of Canada once knew how to
look after our veterans. In fact, the government treated the
veterans very
well after the Second World War. They instituted the
Veterans Charter, which looked after the re-establishment of
our active service
veterans after the Second World War.
For the sake of clarity of this presentation, I will
follow two central issues: The first is active service, the
second, compensation for
active service. We believe that these issues are at the root
of the problem facing our veterans today.
I have chosen bits and parts of some of my own family
history of active service to illustrate the historical
background of active service
in the Canadian Military.
My first ancestor came here in 1691 as a soldier from
France. In the early days of New France we relied on other
countries for our
defence. As the country began to establish itself Canadians
were enlisted as captains in the militia. It was during
these years that the
obligation of service began for all citizens between the
ages 16 to 65 years. These men could be called up in case of
need.
This system worked with varying degrees of success; as
long as the men were called up between harvest-time
everything was fine.
Sometime after the battle of the Plains of Abraham there was
a split between the active and sedentary militia.
During the War of 1812 Canadians fought for the first time
as a force against the Americans. One of my ancestors fought
in the Battle
of Chateaguay as a militia member of the Canadian
Voltigeurs. Ten days later, he was reassigned to the British
48th Regiment. Men
were interchangeable within units at the time. With the
passing of the Canadian Militia Act of 1855, we began to
base our military
system on the British model.
The first significant force we sent overseas was for the
Boar War, officially called the South African War. We sent
Canadian soldiers
over as a special service. Just after the turn of the 20th
century our troops went over as an expeditionary force.
We have been able to discover that the central orders that
called citizens to arms are Orders in Council. In this case,
the Orders in
Council were used to bring Canadian citizens onto active
service.
There are some basic items involved in those Orders in
Council: the reason troops are requested to go on active
service, what is expected
of them, the size of the force necessary, and the authority
of the Governor General to place on active service either
the regular or reserve
forces inside or outside of Canada.
Annex A lists the periods of time that our modern day
Canadian troops have been on active service since 1950. The
following two pages
show that members of the Canadian forces regulars have been
on active service in Canada and abroad since November 20,
1973. That has
been a continuum.
Annex B defines the terms of enlistment. In this annex you
will find a letter from the Minister of National Defence
clarifying some terms
of the National Defence Act and a definition of the Canadian
forces regulars on active service. On the following page you
will find the
details of when we were on active service and a copy of the
Privy Council orders. The letter outlines the practice of
the Privy Council
Orders in Council, to put members of the forces on active
service. As well, it tells us that the practice of drafting
Orders in Council to put
members of the forces on active service for service overseas
stopped in 1989 because everyone was on active service in
Canada and abroad.
However, since 1973, NATO regular forces have been in active
service in Canada and abroad.
The Chairman [Senator Michael A. Meighen]:
Canadian Forces have been on active service, whether in
Canada or abroad, pursuant to
that Order in Council of 1973?
Mr. Leduc: Yes, as well as the reserve forces when
they are attached to the regular forces overseas.
The Chairman: Is that indicated in the Order in
Council, as well?
Mr. Leduc: Yes, it is in both of them. The
National Defence Act also indicates when they would be on
active service.

Summary
“This paper examines some of the legal and ethical considerations
of using non-lethal weapons, raises some concerns which the
Canadian Forces
should address if some of the new non-lethal weapons are to be
incorporated into the National Use of Force Model, and presents
some
recommendations to ease in the transition of these new options.
This paper concludes by recommending the introduction of the Taser
into the
Canadian Forces Military Police Branch. Since the early 12th
century, there have been efforts by the church and state(s), and
more recently the
international community to codify the laws of armed conflict.
Although the international community recognized a nation’s right
to use deadly
force in defence of its national interests, international treaties
like the Hague Convention (IV) Respecting the Laws and Customs of
War on Land,
ratified in 1907, forbid the use of arms, calculated to cause
unnecessary suffering. But what constitutes unnecessary suffering?
The existing
international treaties are insufficient to support and provide
guidance to nations which currently use or are considering using
some of the new
non-lethal weapons. The manner in which some non-lethal weapons
function may render an opponent incapacitated, but will result in
the infliction
of some pain and suffering. Therefore, is it better to kill your
opponent, accepting the fact that there may or may not be any
suffering, or is it better
to use a non-lethal weapons which will incapacitate your opponent
but is specifically designed to cause suffering, the infliction of
which is contrary
to the Hague Convention (IV)? The dilemma of using non-lethal
weapons to incapacitate, even though it was designed to cause some
suffering,
also brings the Just War Theory, ethical criteria of
proportionality into play. Is the critical issue the survival of
the opponent, regardless of the
amount of pain inflicted, or is the most important consideration
the infliction of suffering, and whether or not that suffering is
temporary or permanent.
The selection of a suitable non-lethal weapon for the CF must be
examined from both a legal and ethical perspective. Once a
suitable non-lethal
weapon has been identified, the CF must educate the Canadian
public on the specifics of the weapon while dispelling non-lethal
weapon myths,
and we must properly train our soldiers so that they will be able
to perform their duties with complete confidence in the non-lethal
weapon and the
chain of command. By understanding the implications and potential
pitfalls of using a specific non-lethal weapon, we will be better
prepared to
provide these new options to our soldiers.” - Author's abstract

General Henault also indicated that the Judge
Advocate General (JAG), Brigadier-General Jerry Pitzul,
played a particularly important internal role:
“Jerry was as consistent and as honest as you could
get in that respect. There was no arm twisting that he would
allow.” While there is a danger of
exaggerating, the fact is the JAG enjoyed very powerful
influence over military plans by virtue of his
unchallengeable ability to determine what was
legal and what was not. This was reinforced by the
fact that the Chief of Defence Staff was not his only
boss. Rather, the JAG was also responsible for
providing legal advice to the Defence Minister and
Governor-General and thus enjoyed a certain independence,
and with that a level of freedom from
"arm twisting." (footnotes omitted; p.188).

and the Canadian counter-terrorism effort-- steady progress

& Foreign Affairs Institute, 2009 (Saint-Lazare, Quebec : Gibson
Library, 14 p.; available at http://www.cdfai.org/PDF/Connecting%20the%20Dots%20and%20the%20Canadian%20Counter-terrorism%20Effort.pdf
(accessed on 31 May 2012);
Even when all the departments assemble, not all
can share data. While in a perfect data sharing structure
each agency would have
access to the other’s database to allow instantaneous “dot”
connection across the government’s data systems, technology
and legal
concerns are reportedly hampering that effort.18 These
combined maritime centres hoped to overcome this by
collecting the various
departments’ officers with their separate databases into a
single room where face–to-face exchanges might move the
information
instead. Regrettably, even this sub-optimal approach
was occasionally thwarted with an officer at one MSOC
claiming in 2006 that,
“anything collected under the auspices of the Customs Act
cannot be shared with any other department. It can be as
benign as the
name of a ship.” This, of course, dooms any effort to
connect all the elements of the myriad data that can provide
warning of a
developing terrorist attack. In response to these barriers,
the Department of National Defence has recently started ‘war
gaming’
cross-government legal activities within its maritime
exercises. In 2007, for example, legal teams from across
government and
the United States participated in exercise FRONTIER
SENTINEL, an attempt to isolate the legal barriers in the
operations that
cross-departmental and national boundaries. When an exercise
event failed because of a perceived legal or procedural
impediment these teams either resolved the impasse or
recorded it for later analysis and, one hopes, correction.

___________ Setting the limits
on parliamentary influence : the 1994 Defense Policy Review,
Thesis (M.A.)--Dalhousie University, 1996, 469 p.; title noted in
my research but thesis not consulted yet;
In the past Parliament's influence in defence
matters was limited to scrutinizing the government's
policies. This thesis will argue that
the 1994 Defence Policy Review marks an important departure
from this narrow approach. As the paper traces why this
review was
different, it will conclude that Parliament's participation
was not only far greater than past efforts but also that
those efforts substantially
affected the government's subsequent defence policy. For
perhaps the first time Parliament made defence policy. The
thesis will also argue
that despite this new power, significant limits on
Parliament's policy influence still remain because it is
failing in its traditional scrutiny
function. It will conclude by offering recommendations to
improve this. [Source: AMICUS catalogue]

The term jus post
bellum is used increasingly to refer to the legal frameworks
applied in post-conflict peacebuilding projects.
This thesis considers the recent application of three jus post
bellum frameworks in states emerging from conflict to
determine which
framework has the greatest potential for success in terms of
securing lasting peace and security in the post-conflict
state. The three
frameworks considered are: the law of occupation applied in
Iraq, the United Nations-led interim administrations applied
in Kosovo
and East Timor, and the light footprint approach applied in
Afghanistan. The thesis concludes that the light footprint
approach, with
its focus on local ownership over the peacebuilding process,
should be considered for future post-conflict states, but with
enhanced
attention to security and coordination. A light footprint
“plus” approach that includes increased international support
and mentorship
is advocated as the clearest route to lasting peace and
security. This thesis concludes that the law of occupation is
not an effective tool
for post-conflict peacebuilding because it restricts the types
of changes that can be made within the post-conflict state and
it only arises
in rare instances of international armed conflict. In Kosovo
and East Timor, the UN-led interim administrations took
control of all aspects
of governance and made significant changes. While UN-led
interim administrations can bring about significant
post-conflict change, the
lack of popular consultation and perceived lack of
accountability makes them less desirable as post-conflict
peacebuilding frameworks.
In Afghanistan, peace builders were wary of the risks of
imposing change on the Afghan people and adopted a light
footprint approach
that allowed Afghan authorities to lead post-conflict
rebuilding efforts. Unfortunately, the international community
did not provide
sufficient support to the Afghans, the result of which was a
poor security environment, an uncoordinated approach, and a
failure to
incorporate existing judicial frameworks into the new
institutions of government. Although the light footprint
approach is considered a
failure in Afghanistan, a light footprint “plus” approach
cannot be discounted for future peacebuilding initiatives.

L’armée dépense près de 700 M$ par année en
éducation et formation pour ses membres. Mais les soldats
ne
vont pas seulement dans les écoles militaires. L’armée
permet à ses officiers de parfaire leur formation dans les
universités les plus prestigieuses du monde.
Non seulement ils continuent de recevoir leur plein
salaire, mais tous leurs frais sont remboursés durant la
formation.
Depuis 20 ans, près d’une cinquantaine de militaires vont à
l’étranger chaque année et plusieurs ramènent des factures
de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de dollars.
Notre Bureau d’enquête a d’ailleurs épluché le parcours
d’un juge militaire. L’État a payé, en un an, 246 888 $ afin
qu’il
réalise une maîtrise à la prestigieuse université London
school of Economics, en Angleterre. De ce montant, on
constate
que le militaire a facturé beaucoup à l’État, malgré son
important salaire. Même ses crayons stylo de quelques
dollars y ont passé.
Un juge avocat-général adjoint a quant à lui fréquenté
l’Université Cambridge, aussi en Angleterre. Les
contribuables ont payé
302 473 $ pour sa maîtrise. Il avait aussi, au début des
années 90, fait une maîtrise à London school of Economics,
au coût de
205 000 $ pour les contribuables.
Nos documents montrent que certains officiers passent
parfois le tiers de leur carrière sur les bancs d’école,
payés par leur
employeur, l’armée canadienne.
Ces années d’études comptent aussi pour leur pension et ils
reçoivent leur salaire, ce qu’on retrouve rarement au privé.
L’armée n’a pas commenté.

___________"Civilians Taking Direct Part in Hostilities: Why the
'Revolving Door' Must Become a One-Way Turnstile", Canadian Forces
College, JCSP 39, Master Defence Studies, 2013, v, 108 p.;
available at https://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/259/290/299/286/lesperance.pdf

Abstract
In an armed conflict, it
is a war crime to intentionally attack civilians.
They
have protected status. Civilians,
however, who ‘for such time
as they take direct part
in hostilities’ become lawful
military targets. The dilemma is
determining what
constitutes ‘for such time’ and
‘taking part in hostilities’. This paper
will argue
that civilians may not opt in and
out of protected status once they choose to
regularly and persistently take direct
part in hostilities. Civilians who participate
in a hostile engagement
do not resume protected status while
waiting for the
next assignment. There
is no ‘revolving door’ of protected status.
Once the
civilian passes through,it is like a
one-way
turnstile and the civilian
assumes
the risk of being targeted. There are
sound legal, policy and practical reasons
why there is no re-entry to
protected status unless the civilian clearly
and unambiguously renounces
direct participation.For
instance,the
principle of
‘distinction’ would lose its primary
raison d’etre as a foundational principle if civilians were
permitted to escape the
consequences of direct participation
in hostilities. This paper
will introduce the basic sources and
principles of the
law of armed conflict as a background to the issues at
play regarding who may
be lawfully attacked in an armed conflict.
Concepts like ‘determining conflict
status’, ‘individual battlefield status’ and ‘the law of
targeting’ will be
reviewed to
provide the theoretical underpinning
for the enquiry into how
and when civilians
lose protected status in an armed conflict.
A major focus of
this analysis will be
the ICRC’s 2009 Interpretative
Guidance on the notion of civilians taking direct
part in hostilities.
This report will be critically
reviewed to highlight the difficulties
behind the ‘revolving
door’ concept.Finally,
some alternative criteria will be
suggested for determining when civilians
have directly participated in hostilities.

In Canada prosecutions before disciplinary board for
disciplinary offences such as conduct prejudicial to the
profession
do not create rise to a criminal record. The same act,
however, may give rise to a criminal prosecution where, upon
conviction, the accused will inherit a criminal record. In
Canadian military law, the situation is different. Some
disciplinary
offences prosecuted before service tribunals, although not
criminal in any way, may upon conviction saddle an accused for
life with a criminal record.

(accessed on 18 April 2014); discusses the case of In The
Queen v. Wehmeier 2014 CMAC 5 (Court Martial Appeal Court
of Canada);
"However, with the exception of murder, manslaughter
and abduction of children committed in Canada, all other
ordinary
criminal law offences, whether committed at home or abroad by
members of the Canadian Forces, in all likelihood will be
prosecuted before and tried by a military tribunal, thereby
depriving the accused of the constitutional right to a jury
trial
guaranteed by par.11(f) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms.
The constitutional protection applies to persons tried by
civilian courts for serious offences punishable by an
imprisonment
of five years or more, but is denied when the trial takes
place before a military tribunal.
In my respectful view, as a matter of public policy,
equality of rights and treatment before and under the law as
well as
fairness, no serious ordinary criminal law offence
punishable by imprisonment for five years or more should be
prosecuted
before a military tribunal under the guise of discipline in
peacetime.
Not unlike a police officer, a soldier is a citizen in
uniform. Like the police officer he should be prosecuted
before a civilian
tribunal where he would regain his constitutional right to a
jury trial."

served on the Federal Court of Appeal and the Court Martial Appeal

justice reform, and responded firmly to a letter the JAG sent to
the late Edmond P. Blanchard, who was at the time Chief
Justice of the Court Martial Appeal Court.

In Canada, pursuant to ss. 60 and 273 of the National
Defence Act (Act), civilian criminal courts and
military tribunals have
concurrent jurisdiction to try ordinary criminal law offences
committed by persons subject to the military Code of
Service Discipline,
even when they are committed outside Canada. This is due to
the fact that s. 130 of the Act transforms all ordinary
criminal law
offences into service offences, i.e., disciplinary
offences. This duality of jurisdictions begs the traditional
thorny questions: who
should prosecute what, when, where, why, how and under what
conditions? While the answers to these questions are important
for
the following reasons, they are not easily found.
___________testimony of Gilles Létourneau, Retired Judge of the
Federal Court of Appeal and the Court Martial Appeal Court on Bill C-15,An Act to
amend the National Defence Act and to make consequential
amendments to other Acts -- this Bill has the Short Title:Strengthening
Military Justice in the Defence of Canada Act,
-
before the House of Commons Standing Committee on
National Defence, meeting number 65, 11 February
2013, minutes
and evidence;
- - before the
Standing Senate Committee on Legal and
Constitutional Affairs, meeting issue
38, 29 May 2013, minutes and
evidence;
The Canadian penal military justice system is in need of
fundamental reform, not mere tinkering. So far there has
been some changes to the system, a great many of them in the
field of penal and disciplinary justice which were imposed
by judicial decisions of the Court Martial Appeal Court
(CMAC) and the Supreme Court of Canada.
It took more than 19 years of costly litigation to achieve
an incomplete independence of military judges: see Leblanc
v. R., 2011 CMAC 2, R.v. Lauzon (1998),
6 C.M.A.C. 19 and R.v. Genereux (1992) 1
S.C.R. 259. They still hold a rank inferior to over 100
officers who fall under their penal and disciplinary
jurisdiction. As their judicial independence grew, military
judges have become more assertive. Improved fairness and
justice are already visible on this front.
The same cannot be said, however, of both the existing
Prosecutorial and Defence Services which fall under the
general supervision of the Judge Advocate General (JAG). The
potential for unwarranted command influence is great on both
Services, either in the form of active or refraining
influence on the lawyers who operate in these Services.
Their pay increase is linked to their performance assessed
by their superior, i.e. the JAG. It is also the case for
their promotion or task assignment within the Canadian
Forces as a whole
While
the term “JAG” leads one to believe that, in Canada, the
person appointed to that position is a judge, he is not a
judge at all. He is a senior legal adviser to the Governor
General, the Minister of National Defence (Minister), the
Defence Department and the Canadian Forces, in matters
relating to military law. He is also responsible to the
Minister in the performance of his or her duties and
functions: see ss.9.1 and 9.3 of the National Defence
Act. This is a far cry from a judge who enjoys
judicial independence, especially independence from the
chain of command. In plain and simple words he is a
lawyer. He is himself part of the chain of command as the
Commander of all military lawyers. He attends all senior
management meetings at National Defence Headquarters.
.....
I
think it is fair to say that the misnomer is confusing and
misleading for everybody, especially the lay person, but
convenient for the incumbent. The title JAG is a remnant
of a distant past. For the sake of clarity and the better
administration of military justice, the title should
be changed to reflect the current reality as well as the
conditions and benefits which attach to the function that
it is rather than the function that it is not.

All good things must come to an end. This is also true of
bad things. According to critics and observers of military
justice,
it appears that the appointment of the current
Judge-Advocate General of the Canadian Armed Forces was the
appointment
of the wrong person, at the wrong position, at the wrong
time. Due to leave his position in this coming June, it is
hoped that
the new incumbent will be open to the important changes that
have been made in recent years with success and without
prejudice to the need for good order and discipline in the
military.

Justice Reform web site, blog, 27 March 2014, available at http://globalmjreform.blogspot.ca/
(accessed on 28 March 2014);
Will Justice and FairnessPrevail?
In his article entitled ‘Anglo-American’ Military Justice Systems and
the Wave of Civilianization: Will Discipline Survive?, Lieutenant-Colonel
S.S. Strickey of the Office of the Canadian Judge Advocate
General asks whether discipline will survive as a result
of what he calls civilianization of military justice. The issue
in Canada is not about civilianization of military
justice. Far from it. It is about justice
itself. It is about justice and fairness to soldiers
who, as Canadian citizens, are entitled to it as much as
civilians when it comes to the military prosecution of
ordinary criminal law offences. .... The
remedy is a simple one. Let the civilian courts try
ordinary criminal law offences and the military
institute disciplinary proceedings against military
offenders. In this way the military offenders retain their
civil rights that they can invoke before civilian
tribunals and the military can secure discipline for
disciplinary offences before military tribunals.

(accessed 6 April 2017); article discusses the presence of Major
Warren Fensom, a JAG officer;
As the ship’s officers arrived for dinner — a special
menu of roast turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry
sauce — Maj. Warren
Fensom looked on with a warm smile. The ship’s lawyer,
Fensom was hosting a special dinner to celebrate the
marriage of his son Kevin.
Fensom’s sudden and somewhat unexpected deployment
with HMCS Winnipeg on counter-pirate duties kept him
from the wedding,
which was held in the stateroom in Esquimault, B.C.,
headquarters of the Canadian navy’s Pacific operations.
With a full table of ship’s officers, Fensom rose from
his seat and explained that the dinner was not just an
opportunity to celebrate
his son’s marriage, but also to pay homage to all the
sailors on this mission who are giving up time with
family, partners, children.
As he raised his glass for a toast, many faces around
the table looked down. Few were the sailors at this
table who weren’t missing
something important back home. Fensom has an
unusual insight into the emotional stress of a military
deployment. His wife is a
military physician who served in Bosnia, Ethiopia and
Rwanda. His son has done two tours of duty in
Afghanistan. And Fensom
personally has served in Kosovo, Afghanistan and now on
the high seas.
He’s seen the trials and tribulations of military
families from all perspectives. And bar none, Fensom
believes the most difficult
assignment of all falls to those who stay at home.
"I’ve been away on deployments, away from my family,"
Fensom said. "I’ve
also been the spouse of someone in harm’s way. And I’ve
been the father of someone in harm’s way. And the worst
is being the
one at home, not being able to do anything to protect
your family."
As he watches and listens to the chatter between
warships and merchant vessels, Baines listens carefully to
a Judge Advocate
General (JAG) lawyer for the Canadian Forces, Major Warren
Fensom, who advises the commander on the legal
complexities
of the anti-piracy mission. It is unusual to have military
lawyer on the front-line of mission like this, but then
again, this mission
is unusually complex.
Piracy is a criminal act where it is often unclear
which nation if any has jurisdiction over the alleged
criminals. Legal jurisdiction
can be impacted by the flag the merchant ship is flying
under, the nationality of the captain and crew, the
owners of the ship and
even the owners of the cargo. Finally, jurisdiction is
further complicated by the nationality of the warship
that responds to the
merchant vessel's distress call.

Essentiellement, Me Éric Léveillé

« inamovibilité judiciaire », l’un des
piliers de l’indépendance d’un juge, selon la Cour
suprême.
LÉVEILLÉ : Le droit militaire
englobe trois piliers principaux : y a le droit
administratif, le droit militaire – justice militaire

criminel, et il y a le droit opérationnel, qui englobe le droit

Description: Cette thèse examine l'évolution
parallèle de la justice pénale militaire et de l'office du juge-avocatgénéral des origines
à aujourd hui. La justice militaire au sein de l'armée
britannique a étée pendant des siècles administrée
exclusivement par le commandement,
c'est-à-dire le pouvoir exécutif. Les cours martiales
sont alors des instruments de ce pouvoir. La règle de
droit et les juristes n'ont pas leur
place dans ce système. L'exercice de la prérogative du
commandement fait l'objet d'une surveillance par le juge-avocatgénéral. Cet office
civil est confiée à un juriste. Ses interventions fondées
sur le droit son souvent considerées comme une menace à
l'autorité du commandement
et donc à la discipline. Ses opinions ne lient les autorités
militaires. Au Canada en 1911, la charge de JAG est confiée
à un militaire clairement
subordonné au commandement. Chez-nous le JAG est
complice du commandement dans l'exercice de sa prérogative.
Le déclin de la prérogative
du commandement au profit d'un pouvoir judiciaire
indépendant amoree après la
deuxième guerre mondiale a eu un impact significatif sur le
système et sur l'office du JAG. Les rôles du JAG n'ont cessé de
diminuer, surtout depuis l'avènement de la Charte.
Nous croyons que cet office
doit être
réévalué à la lumièe des changements survenus et des
nouvelles valeurs du système de justice penale militaire.

Abstract (Summary)
Selon une approche classique avec des éléments de droit comparé,
l'auteur tente de trouver un meilleur équilibre entre efficacité
et équité en justice militaire canadienne en défendant la thèse
qu'on peut améliorer les deux à la fois. Remontant dans une
première partie aux sources du droit militaire anglo-américain
pour saisir le poids de l 'histoire, l'auteur montre comment la
justice militaire canadienne est passée d'un système expéditif
soumis awc impératifs de la chaîne de commandement à un
système équitable mais plus lent. Favorisant la protection des
droits de la personne, l'auteur justifie la nécessité de calibrer
à
nouveau le système malgré la législation en place. Dans une
seconde partie, l'auteur propose une série de mesures législatives
comme administratives visant à prévenir, de l'enquête au procès,
les délais indus et leurs conséquences néfastes tout en rehaussant
l'équité par l'augmentation de la capacité d'intervention des
juges militaires, lesquels seraient investis de nouveawc pouvoirs
au
sein d'une cour martiale pertnanente. (source: http://proquest.umi.com/pqdlink?Ver=1&Exp=06-03-2016&FMT=7&DID=2016132381&RQT=309&attempt=1&cfc=1,

Me Pascal Lévesque a travaillé comme procureur pour le
Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales
(DPCP) à Chicoutimi, d'avril 2018 à mars 2019;
Il y a un endroit où un citoyen canadien peut
être envoyé en détention pour 30 jours, par quelqu’un
qui n’est pas juge,
sans être représenté par avocat et sans avoir un
véritable droit d’appel. Il s’agit du système de
procès sommaire des Forces
armées canadiennes. La présente thèse analyse ce
système et suggère des réformes. Elle est destinée à
ceux ayant un intérêt
d’améliorer l’administration de la justice militaire
au niveau des unités mais veulent suffisamment saisir
les enjeux avant de
procéder.
Selon une approche juridique classique, aidée
d’éléments d’histoire du droit et de droit comparé, la
présente recherche
débute en fixant la justice militaire dans l’espace
juridique canadien. Le chapitre introductif explique
également les concepts
fondamentaux, au premier chef le maintien de la
discipline, notion plus large pour laquelle le procès
sommaire est un outil
de dernier recours. Le deuxième chapitre décrit le
système actuel. Un aperçu de son évolution historique
est d’abord présenté.
Ensuite, chaque étape du processus est démystifiée, de
l’enquête à la révision.
Dans
le troisième chapitre, les violations potentielles à
la Charte
sont identifiées, mettant l’accent sur celles posant
le plus grand risque constitutionnel: le manque
d’indépendance judiciaire, l’absence de transcrit de
l’audition, l’insuffisance
du droit à l’avocat et la disparité de traitement
entre les grades. Le quatrième chapitre présente les
alternatives qui ont
été adoptées pour faire face à des défis analogues.
Ces alternatives proviennent tant des Forces
canadiennes que de juridictions
militaires étrangères de pays de common law et
de droit civil.
Le
cinquième chapitre analyse si ces violations ne
pourraient pas être néanmoins justifiées dans une
société libre et
démocratique. Sa conclusion est que, en présence
d’alternatives raisonnables, il serait difficile de
convaincre un juge que le
système actuel constitue une limite légitime aux
garanties judiciaires.
Le
dernier chapitre présente des options pour faire face
à ces défis. D’abord, un regard critique est porté sur
la première
approche, celle de la ‘dépénalisation’, adoptée par le
gouvernement dans le récent projet de loi C-71.
Ensuite, des mesures sont
recommandées pour mettre en œuvre la seconde approche,
celle de la ‘judicialisation’. Ces mesures ne visent
pas qu’à renforcer
la constitutionnalité du système, mais plus encore
d’améliorer l’administration de la justice militaire
dans un souci de promouvoir
les droits des militaires.
There is a place where a Canadian citizen can be sent
to 30 days detention, by someone who is not a judge,
without being
represented by counsel, and without having a
meaningful right to appeal. It is the summary trial
system of the Canadian Armed
Forces. This thesis analyses that system and suggests
reforms. It is aimed at those who have an interest in
improving the administration
of military justice at the unit level but want to
sufficiently understand the issues before doing so.
Through a classic legal approach with
elements of legal history and comparative law, this
study begins by setting military
justice in the Canadian legal firmament. The
introductory chapter also explains fundamental
concepts, first and foremost the broader
notion of discipline, for which summary trial is one
of the last maintaining tools. Chapter II describes
the current system. An overview
of its historical background is first given. Then,
each procedural step is demystified, from
investigation until review.
Chapter III identifies potential breaches
of the Charter,
highlighting those that put the system at greater
constitutional risk:
the lack of judicial independence, the absence of
hearing transcript, the lack of legal representation
and the disparity of treatment
between ranks. Alternatives adopted in the Canadian
Armed Forces and in foreign jurisdictions, from both
common law and civil
law traditions, in addressing similar challenges are
reviewed in Chapter IV.
Chapter V analyses whether the breaches
could nevertheless be justified in a free and
democratic society. Its conclusion
is that, considering the availability of reasonable
alternatives, it would be hard to convince a judge
that the current system is a
legitimate impairment of the individual’s legal
rights.
The conclusion Chapter presents options
to address current challenges. First, the approach of
‘depenalisation’ taken by
the Government in recent Bill C-71 is analysed and
criticised. The ‘judicialisation’ approach is
advocated through a series of
16 recommendations designed not only to strengthen the
constitutionality of the system but also to improve
the administration
of military justice in furtherance of service members’
legal rights.
Compared with its civilian counterpart - which
struggles with delays and uncertain results - summary
military justice is efficient. From offence until outcome,
90 per cent of cases are dealt with in less
than ninety days. The other side of the coin is that there
is no right to representation by defence
counsel, no transcript produced, and no appeal to a judge.
Nine times out of ten, individuals are
found guilty. For service members, consequences can include
fines, reductions in rank, confinement,
and sentences of up to thirty days in military jail,
sometimes with a criminal conviction.
Addressing important gaps in legal literature, Frontline
Justice sets out to examine summary justice
in Canada's military and to advocate for reform. Pascal
Lévesque describes the origins, purposes,
and features of the summary trial system in the Canadian
Armed Forces. He then analyzes the
system's benefits and flaws and the challenges it faces in
maintaining discipline while respecting
the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lévesque
determines that troubling aspects of the
system, including the fact that lower and higher ranks are
dealt with and punished differently, are
clear indicators of a need for change. Criticizing current
legislation, the book takes into account
the latest developments in military law and jurisprudence to
make concrete recommendations for
an alternative model of military justice.
A thought-provoking and balanced analysis, Frontline Justice
seeks to remedy some of the more
unfair and arcane proceedings of the Canadian military's
summary trial system.

Alors qu’il existe plusieurs représentations dramatisées
de ce domaine dans les médias (par exemple,
dans A Few Good Men et dans certains épisodes de
l’émission The Good Wife), les étudiants ont eu
droit à une véritable introduction du sujet dans le
contexte canadien. Au plan historique, le droit militaire
canadien est d’origine britannique. Ainsi, il comporte
trois piliers, soit le droit administratif, le droit
pénal et le droit des opérations. Plus précisément, Me
Lévesque a expliqué comment le droit militaire
porte, entre autres, sur les enjeux juridiques reliés au
code de discipline, la chaîne de commandement,
la légitimité des actes militaires et les ressources
humaines. L’importance de la primauté du droit et
l’unicité des manifestations de ce principe dans le
contexte militaire étaient, par ailleurs, un thème
central de la conférence.

The CMAC [CMAC= Court martial
Appeal Court; R. v. Liwyj, 2010 CMAC 6] reviewed
the law established by the
Supreme Court of Canada – our country’s highest court – and
determined that the only exception to a CF member’s
duty of obedience is where a superior’s command is “manifestly
unlawful.” This is consistent with Note B to QR&O
article 19.015, which states in part: “where the subordinate does
not know the law or is uncertain of it he shall, even
though he doubts the lawfulness of the command, obey unless the
command is manifestly unlawful.”
The question becomes: How does a
CF member determine whether a command is manifestly unlawful and
disobedience
is justified? The CMAC identified the following legal principles.
First, a command that has no clear military purpose
will be considered unlawful. Note F to QR&O article 103.17
echoes the same principle: “A command, in order to be
lawful must be one relating to military duty, i.e., the
disobedience of which must tend to impede, delay or prevent a
military proceeding.”
Second, an order “that offends the
conscience of every reasonable right-thinking person,” or that is
“patently and
obviously” wrong, amounts to a manifestly unlawful order. Note C
to QR&O article 19.015 provides the following
examples: “a command by an officer or non-commissioned member to
shoot a member for only having used
disrespectful words,” or “a command to shoot an unarmed child.”
In Liwyj, the CMAC
stressed that CF members have no lawful excuse for disobeying an
order that is “merely
questionable.” A difference of opinion or a “disagreement between
fair-minded persons” is not enough to justify
disobedience. Furthermore, CF members cannot rely on their own
personal opinions. Disobedience is only justified
when the objective, reasonable person would find that the command
was manifestly unlawful.

[Abstract]
In June 2019, the Supreme Court of Canada pronounced
judgment in the case
of R v Stillman,
upholding the military justice system’s ability to try
serious
civil offences. The Stillman decision highlighted
one key mechanism of
military justice reform: court judgments. This article
argues, however, that
military legal experts have overlooked Parliamentary
debate as a key driver
of military reform. By drawing on analysis of Hansard
from past decades,
this article argues that the Canadian Parliament has
historically pushed
for radical reform to the military justice system.
This reformist consensus
continues to shape Parliamentary discussions on
military justice in the
twenty-first century.

Canada's emergency measures legislation"(2014) 18(2) The
International Journal of Human Rights 159-177;
Abstract
Almost
a century ago Canada implemented the War Measures
Act to give the federal government extraordinary
powers to deal with the domestic implications of the
First World War. The government further expanded and
institutionalised these powers through the Second
World War, the Korean crisis and the cold war
period.
Now these war emergency powers are entrenched in
both federal and provincial emergency measures
legislation
and exercised for peacetime disasters. This paper
reviews the historical progression of these powers
to better
understand the original context for their
development and to connect past abuses of civil
rights under the
War Measures Act to the protections and limits
incorporated in the current legislation. Then, based
on this
understanding of where the powers originated, the
paper takes a comprehensive look at the powers
available
across the Canadian jurisdictions. It identifies
common groups of powers and discusses regional
variations.
It concludes with a short discussion on the
imbalance between extraordinary powers for response
and the lack
of a corresponding emphasis on reducing the
risks that may generate the need for them.

Talks, song and a video clip highlighted the
role of UNMIS [United Nations Mission in Sudan]
in Sudan as well as the meaning of peace at an
all-girls school in north Khartoum on 24 January.
"As you can see, I wear a uniform and a blue beret,"
Lt. Col. Ken Lindstein from Canada said to students
gathering under a large tent in a well-kept, green
schoolyard in Bahri, "but I don't carry a rifle or a
pistol."
Explaining peacekeepers' impartiality, Lt. Col.
Lindstein told the students, aged between 13 and 16,
that
UNMIS was in the country to assist the Government of
Sudan in implementing the Comprehensive Peace
Agreement, as requested by the Sudanese government.
He also noted that UNMIS troops, who came from 52
different countries, were mandated to monitor and
verify activities of the previously warring parties
of North and Southern Sudan as well as assist with
various other activities, including disarmament and
demobilization, demining, protection of civilians
and
elections scheduled for April 2010.
According to headmistress Najat Mustafa, students
lacked comprehensive information on the importance
of peace for their wider communities. She expressed
hope that they would have a clearer picture after
the event.
When there was peace, Lt. Col. Lindstein noted,
"Children like you have the opportunity to get
education
without violence ... instead of having to worry
about your villages being attacked."
Students of the Bahri school, which boasts one of
Khartoum's best yearly exam results, also posed
questions
to the UNMIS representative, many focusing on how
the mission would ensure peace and stability after
elections as well as the referendum scheduled for
2011.
Noting that UNMIS aimed to bring conflicting
parties together in finding resolutions, Lt. Col.
Lindstein also
emphasized students' role in educating themselves
about the peace process. When peace was maintained,
he
added, development occurred and more opportunities
opened up for the country's population.

The most senior Canadian military
officer ever to die in combat is Malcolm Mercer, a
lawyer from Toronto who
set aside his successful law practice in 1914 to serve
Canada in the early days of WWI. Major- General Mercer
commanded the 3rd Canadian Division through the 2 nd
Battle of Ypres and was later killed in action at
Mount Sorrel.
Mercer’s 3rd Division went on to write history at the
battle of Vimy Ridge in April of 1917.
Mercer was not alone in his commitment to service and
leadership. Charles Holland Locke, a lawyer from
Winnipeg,
Manitoba, served as a Captain in the artillery at Vimy
Ridge. After the war, Locke returned to practice law
in British Columbia
and in 1947, was appointed to the Supreme Court of
Canada. Service and leadership are inter-generational
principles. ...

Ryan Liss
LISS, Ryan, "The abuse of ambiguity: the uncertain status of
Omar Khadr under international law", (2012) 50 Canadian
Yearbook of International Law 95-161;
There has been a great deal of contemporary
scholarly debate, in the abstract, surrounding many of the
issues related to Khadr's case,
such as the status of "unlawful combatants" and child
soldiers. This article endeavours to clarify Khadr's
status under international
law. First, it analyzes Khadr's status under international
humanitarian law,(IHL). In doing so, it considers the
character of the conflict
in which Khadr was captured, the concept of combatancy,
the assertion that Khadr was an "unlawful combatant," and
the rights
guaranteed to Khadr under IHL as a result of his status.
Second, the article assesses Khadr's potential protections
as a child soldier
by surveying the debate concerning the definition of child
soldiers, the obligations of states detaining child
soldiers, and the principles
governing the treatment of minors involved in penal
processes generally. This article focuses on the
international legal status and
protections Khadr should have been granted, rather than
the question of whether any specific breaches of his
rights in fact occurred.
Nevertheless, even without a thorough review of the state
conduct at issue, it is evident that the United States
(and arguably Canada)
breached some of the basic guarantees that should have
been afforded to Khadr. While the law surrounding each
aspect of his status
is not clear, it seems the United States and Canada have
exploited this very ambiguity to justify their disregard
for Khadr's rights.
The article concludes by observing that this approach to
legal ambiguity is, itself, contrary to the foundational
principles of IHL

Abstract
Partant des incidents (Carré Nissor, 2007; Abu Grahib, 2004)
ayant amené les services de sécurités
privés à l'avant-scène médiatique durant le conflit irakien
des années 2000, cette recherche se
concentre sur le développement de ces derniers au sein des
zones de conflits en Afghanistan et
en Irak. En explorant la littérature existante, les nombreux
questionnements subsistants donnèrent
naissance aux fondements de cette recherche : Qu'en est-il
du Canada? Quelles tâches sont sous-traiéees
par le Canada à cette industrie? Et plus important encore :
Comment le Canada encadre-t-il cette
industrie? Faisant le choix de centrer la problématique sur
cet encadrement, le chercheur adopte
une approche politico-administrative afin d'adresser la
situation selon l'angle de l'acteur ayant le plus
d'influence, soit le gouvernement canadien. La recherche
s'amorce par un détour conceptuel analysant
les approches utilisées pour étudier cette industrie, la
nature de cette dernière et les fonctions lui étant
dévolues. De nombreuses approches sont utilisées pour
aborder cette industrie, certaines axées sur les
aspects légaux, d'autres sur les impacts sur le domaine
militaire ou encore sur les répercussions de
l'arrivée de ce "nouveau" joueur sur la scène
internationale. Par la suite, l'auteur fait un détour
important
afin de situer les concepts et la nature de l'industrie et
des compagnies qui la compose. On apprend ainsi
que cette industrie se définit à la fois selon les types de
services offerts et la nature commerciale des
compagnies. De nombreuses différences sont notables entre
les entreprises composant cette industrie,
entre celles fournissant des services logistiques ou celles
possédant d'imposantes capacités de projection
de la force létale, ou encore entre celles étant des
multinationales jouant sur divers échiquiers et celles
fondées pour des contrats particuliers. Afin de procéder à
une réflexion pertinente sur l'usage canadien
de l'industrie des services militarisés, l'auteur s'impose
l'étude de l'état de la réflexion sur l'emploi de
cette industrie par les gouvernements britannique et
américain. En ressortent, le difficile questionnement
sur la méthode d'encadrement à adopter, des risques du
laisser-aller, des besoins de surveillance de
l'exécution des contrats en théâtre d'opérations, des
risques de fraudes, des failles législatives relatives
aux actions prisent par le personnel civil employé, etc. Le
portrait dresse des conclusions tirées par ces
États souligne nombre de risques devant être considérés dans
le recours au personnel privé pour combler
les besoins au sein des zones de combats. L'étude du cas
canadien se doit de commencer par un état des
lieux de la sous-traitance canadienne. Celui-ci est
essentiellement obtenu grâce à une demande d'accès
à l'information listant les contrats ayant été octroyés dans
le cadre du conflit en Afghanistan par les
ministères de la Défense nationale et des Affaires
étrangères et du Commerce international. L'étude se
concentre par la suite sur le processus contractuel ainsi
que l'approche officielle du gouvernement
canadien soit le respect des engagements contenus dans le
Document de Montreux. Finalement, la
recherche procède à l'analyse des risques reliés aux tâches
et de la politique, en ébauche, du Ministère
de la Défense nationale sur le recours aux sous-traitants en
zone de conflit.
