[Description]

Building on interviews with military officers, civilian officials, and politicians, Saideman shows how key actors in Canada’s political system, including the prime minister,
the political parties, and parliament, responded to the demands of a costly and controversial mission. Some adapted well; others adapted poorly or – worse yet – in ways that
protected careers but harmed the mission itself.

Adapting in the Dust is a vital evaluation of how well Canada’s institutions, parties, and policy makers responded to the need to oversee and sustain a military intervention overseas,
and an important guide to what will have to change in order to do better next time. [source: http://www.utppublishing.com/Adapting-in-the-Dust-Lessons-Learned-from-Canada-s-War-in-Afghanistan.html,

Last week, the Canadian Chief of Defence Staff Tom Lawson insisted that the sexual assaults by and against members of the Canadian Forces are not part of the CF's culture.
 This raises many questions.  Perhaps the military is just reflective of the society at large, but the statement seemed to ring hollow in part because the military did not have
a good grasp of the problem itself.  One might think that having a Colonel/base commander who engaged in multiple assaults and murder might have been a wakeup
call.  It is always easy to suggest that the crimes of one person are just that.

However, when the most senior legal official within the Canadian Forces does not seem to follow the rules, not sending reports to the Minister of Defence, then
perhaps the culture is broken.  Major General Blaise Cathcart, the Judge Advocate General, apparently has not been meeting the requirements to file reports to
the defence minister for three years running.  Given that most senior officers only serve in a particular job for about three years max, this means that the JAG
has been shirking a key part of his job for most, if not all, of his time in office.  And this is the guy whose job it is at the top of the military justice system!  If anyone
should be following the rules, it is this guy.  And if this guy is not following the rules, think about what this means for the culture.

What is a culture?  A system of shared understandings of what is appropriate behavior, of conventions, values, and such.  Well, having the JAG violate the rules,
especially rules for reporting to the civilians--the Defence Minister and ultimately Parliament and the public--then that speaks quite loudly.  And it is not just this
guy being an exception.  Two colonels--one heading military prosecutions and the other heading defence council services--also are not filing their annual reports.
 Not since 2010!  I guess it is ok since the violations are on both sides--prosecution and defence? 

The JAG's excuse:
"So with the resources and the priorities that I have at my disposal, I made those decisions and I made them knowing full well the gravity of those decisions," he said.

In other words, too busy to follow the rules. I wonder if he would ever accept that excuse from a private, a non-commissioned officer, or a junior officer.
 "Sir, I didn't do what you ordered me to do because I had a bunch of stuff to do, and I felt your orders to me were not as important."
"The most senior legal official in the military is now flagrantly in breach of the National Defence Act, that’s very troubling.  I'm stunned.”
Indeed, but I am sure there is nothing wrong with the CF's culture.  I mean, it is just a few senior officers for several years running....

My next project is on the role of legislatures in monitoring militaries.  It turns out that we will need to focus on this part of the process--do the senior military
officers file the reports that are required of them?  Seemed like a non-issue, but I guess not.

Auerswald (from the National War College, Washington), NATO in Afghanistan: Fighting Together, Fighting Alone, Princeton University Press, 2014 (hardcover), 280 p., ISBN: 9780691170879, 2016 (paperback edition), ISBN:  9780691159386; eBook: ISBN: 9781400848676;

In 1993, Canada was a participant in the United Nations mission in Somalia,
and the Canadian Airborne Regiment found itself dealing with Somalis trying
to steal supplies. On March 16, members of the regiment captured Shidane Abu-
kar Arone and beat him to death. Once the news got out, it became a significant
controversy back in Canada. Not only were a group of soldiers court martialed,
but consecutive chiefs of defense staff (John de Chastelain and Jean Boyle) were
compelled to resign. The Airborne Regiment was disbanded. The official inquiry
into the incident came to very blunt conclusions. According to the official inquiry
report, “Somalia represents the nadir of the fortunes of the Canadian Forces. There
seems to be little room to slide lower.”22  This incident is tied to a “decade of
darkness” during which the Canadian Forces absorbed severe budget cuts and a
sharp decline in morale and public confidence. 23  It also meant that years later the
Canadian media, politicians, and military paid a great deal of attention to how
 detainees were treated by the Canadians and the Afghan authorities in Kandahar.
This reaction is quite distinct from the American response to the revelations

Abstract:    
This thesis examines how military members and veterans with Operational Stress Injuries are treated by Canadian justice systems.
It suggests a correlation between mental injuries sustained on operations by military personnel and propensities for military and
societal misconduct. By comparing civilian and military processes with American justice counterparts, a plan to improve the existing
Canadian legal landscape is proposed. Using an analysis of the underlying philosophy and purpose of military justice, a problem
solving diversionary court is recommended, along with legislative and policy amendments. The use of a consent-based “Treatment
 Standing Court Martial” would place military justice officials parallel to civilian justice alternative measures programs, and in a
better position to break the cycle of recidivism among veterans by addressing root causes. Education to reduce stigma along with
military-civilian partnerships are also advocated to enhance the detection of mental illness and to foster early treatment for military
personnel and veterans. The overall goals of the work include: reducing recidivism, improving operational efficiency and taking care
of military members, veterans and their families. (available at http://dalspace.library.dal.ca:8080/handle/10222/15358, accessed on 22 January 2013)

martiale du Royaume-Uni, Jeffrey Blackett, a déploré le manque d’indépendance et d’impartialité de l’appareil de justice des Forces armées canadiennes
et appelé le Canada à le moderniser. De son avis, tant que les juges seront des officiers militaires, tous les garde-fous qui seront mis en place seront
insuffisants pour rendre le système réellement indépendant et impartial.

Il a déploré le fait que la Cour suprême du Canada confirme la validité de ce système sur toute la ligne, ce qui augure que l’armée pourra continuer à
juger (et camoufler) elle-même les actes criminels de ses soldats, peu importe que l’acte soit survenu dans une caserne ou un bar du centre-ville, en mission
à l’étranger ou en sol canadien, que la victime soit militaire ou civile. Il s’agit là de l’avis d’un connaisseur.  Ainsi, la justice militaire a été et continue d’être
décriée à travers le monde. Mais le souci du respect des principes de droit par la justice militaire a progressivement amené les décideurs politiques soucieux
de la construction d’un Etat de droit à procéder à des réformes de la juridiction militaire dans leurs pays repectifs.  C’est vers cette excellence que nos
démarches doivent tendre.

Abstract
The transfer of Afghan detainees to Afghan authorities by Canadian forces raised concerns in public opinion, in Parliament, and was the object of court proceedings
and other enquiries in Canada. This article aims to explore the rules of international law applicable to such transfers. The most relevant rule of international
humanitarian law (IHL) applies to prisoners of war in international armed conflicts. However, the conflict in Afghanistan, it is argued, is not of an international character.
The relevant provision could nevertheless apply based upon agreements between Canada and Afghanistan and upon unilateral declarations by Canada. In addition,
international human rights law (IHRL) and the very extensive jurisprudence of its mechanisms of implementation on the obligations of a state transferring a person
to the custody of another state where that person is likely to be tortured or treated inhumanely will be discussed, including the standard of care to be applied when
there is an alleged risk of torture. While IHL contains the rules specifically designed for armed conflicts, IHRL may in this respect also clarify as lex specialis the
interpretation of concepts of IHL. Finally, the conduct of Canadian leaders and members of the Canadian forces is governed by international criminal law (ICL).
This article thus demonstrates how IHL, IHRL, and ICL are intimately interrelated in contemporary armed conflicts and how the jurisprudence of human rights
bodies and of international criminal tribunals informs the understanding of IHL rules. [Source: http://www.erudit.org/revue/mlj/2011/v56/n4/1005850ar.html?vue=resume,

Résumé
Le transfert des détenus afghans par les forces canadiennes aux autorités afghanes a été l’objet de préoccupations, au sein de l’opinion publique et du Parlement, et
a mené à certaines procédures judicaires et enquêtes au Canada. Cet article explore les règles du droit international qui s’appliquent particulièrement à de tels transferts.
Les règles du droit international humanitaire (DIH) les plus pertinentes sont celles relatives aux prisonniers de guerre et applicables dans les conflits armés internationaux.
Cependant, on peut estimer que le conflit en Afghanistan n’est pas de caractère international. Néanmoins, ces règles pourraient s’appliquer dans ces circonstances, puisque
le Canada a signé un accord aveec l’Afghanistan et à fait certaines déclarations unilatérales. De surcroît, cet article présente le droit international des droits de l’homme
(DIDH) et la jurisprudence portant sur l’obligation d’un État d’agir avec la diligence nécessaire lorsqu’il transfère la charge d’une personne à un autre État où il existe un
risque réel de torture ou de traitement inhumain. Bien que le DIH contiennent les règles applicables aux conflits armés, le DIH pourrait, en tant que lex specialis, guider
l’interprétation des concepts du DIH. Finalement, la conduite des dirigeants canadiens et des membres des forces canadiennes est régie par le droit pénal international (DPI).
Par conséquent, cet article démontre l’interrelation intime entre le DIH, le DIDH et le DPI en ce qui à trait aux conflits armés contemporains et à la façon dont la
jurisprudence des organismes de droits de l’homme et les tribunaux pénaux internationaux contribuent à notre compréhension des règles de DIH.

Description: Rookie Tory MP Peter MacKay, who has launched a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the Nova Scotia provincial Prosecution Service for firing him
last March when he announced he would run in the last election, is claiming it was unconstitutional. Mr. MacKay pointed to other MPs such as NDP Nova Scotia MP
Peter Mancini (Sydney-Victoria, N.S.) was able to get a leave of absence from his civil service job with the Legal Aid Commission in Nova Scotia to run for federal
office. Mr. MacKay said he had suggested several options to his boss at the time, Jerry Pitzul, who the then director of public prosecutions, including a leave of absence
or that he be a transferred to another department, but that they were turned down. The Halifax Chronicle-Herald reported that Mr. Pitzul said he was only obeying the
law when he fired Mr. MacKay on March 4, 1997. (source: © ProQuest LLC All rights reserved; and http://primo-pmtna01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/

[TO GO FURTHER ON THIS RESEARCH: At the House of Commons, 19 March 1998, read the exchange between Peter MacKay, Progessive Conservative and Art
 Eggleton:


Mr. Peter MacKay (Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, PC)

Mr. Speaker, on March 12 there was a press release from the minister's department announcing that Jerry Pitzul was the new judge advocate general.
This appointment seems to exactly hit on what the minister is looking for. It has the element of a civilian and the element of a former military person.

I understand Mr. Pitzul has been out of the military since 1995 when he took on a position with the Nova Scotia government as director of the public
prosecution service. It now appears he is being brought back into the military with a new rank, a raise in pay and new responsibilities.

He is praised in this release as being an extremely competent man. Was an appraisal done of his performance in the province of Nova Scotia? It speaks
of his immense experience in Nova Scotia but the man never tried a case there.

I ask the minister if there is any beginning to the wisdom of this latest appointment.


Art Eggleton Liberal

Mr. Speaker, given that the hon. member once worked for him—



Mr. Peter MacKay (Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, PC)

He fired me.



Art Eggleton Liberal

He fired him. Yes, that is true. I guess if you get fired you do not particularly like the person who fired you. Well, too bad. Perhaps he had
good reason to do that; I am sure he did. I guess it does not hurt members who get fired because they get elected to the House of Commons.

Mr. Pitzul has considerable experience in the military. He spent most of his legal career in the military. He has been a judge. He has occupied
other positions that have given him a great deal of information, knowledge and understanding of the military justice system. On top of that, he
now has experience from outside having gone to Nova Scotia and having performed duties in a civilian role in that province. That adds to the
 depth and experience he brings to this position. It also shows that we are willing to bring in new blood, to bring in people from the outside and to make reforms in the military justice system.

I know that the new judge advocate general, Mr. Pitzul, will do that and do it well.

Description: Conservative defence critic Gordon O'Connor said offenders convicted of all but the most minor sexual offences should be
ejected from the ranks as a matter of course. "Military people who are found guilty of this . . . are out, and I don't care if it's war or peace,"
argued the retired brigadier general who spent 32 years in the Canadian Forces. Canadians should not be surprised to find convicted sex
offenders within the military, said Lt.-Col. Rod Lander, the deputy provost marshal for military police services. Lander said he does not
know how many convicted offenders are kicked out, but said he believes "a large percentage of those people who are convicted of at
least the most serious offences are subsequently released." [source: © ProQuest LLC All rights reserved, available at:

Description: Canadian peacekeepers are among the most professional and decent military forces in Afghanistan -- but are they being too nice? Of the 31 nations
contributing to the Kabul Multinational Brigade, Canada appears to be the only one to pay compensation when its military vehicles are to blame for car accidents
with local Afghans. But after several recent incidents, Captain Dave Sinclair, a lawyer with the Judge Advocate General's office at the Canadian base, is re- evaluating
the policy. There are concerns that paying even minimal compensation to the abjectly poor Afghans may encourage deliberate accidents with Canadian troops.

SCHROEDER, Derek and Francesca Ferguson, "Legal Officer in the Canadian Forces"; available at https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/caf-jobs/career-options/fields-work/other-specialty-occupations/legal-officer.html (accessed 1 June 2017);

I’m Lieutenant Navy Derek Schroeder from Ottawa, Ontario. I’m a Legal Officer serving as Deputy Judge Advocate at CFB Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I’m Captain Francesca Ferguson from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I’m a Legal Officer and I’m currently serving as Deputy Judge Advocate in Canadian
Forces Base Borden, Ontario.

FERGUSON: Legal Officers work in courtroom and administrative settings with all three environments of the Forces. We’re legal advisors to the
chain of command and experts in international and domestic law applicable to CF operations and military discipline.

SCHROEDER: When deployed overseas, Legal Officers take on responsibilities such as working with Canadian and allied forces, local officials
and international organizations such as the United Nations. We’re both military officers and lawyers who are field-ready experts in the law of armed
conflict and military justice.

It really is a unique legal practice. One day you could be deploying in support of a peacekeeping mission. On another you might be on Parliament
 Hill supporting the Minister of National Defence on a bill progressing through Parliament.

FERGUSON: Legal officers deal with complex legal issues early in our careers. I am a new Captain in the branch, and I get the opportunity to write
 legal opinions that go directly to the Chain of Command, who value my advice.

SCHROEDER: Many Legal Officers think of their international and domestic deployments as the highlight of their careers. Now that I’ve done my
 legal and my military training, I’m really looking forward to the challenge and the excitement of taking part in one of the Forces’ international operations.

FERGUSON: Legal Officers must already have been admitted to a provincial Bar before joining the Forces, but there’s no requirement for prior military
experience of any kind.

SCHROEDER: After your enrolment, you’ll go through the same Basic Military Officer Qualification as every other officer in the Forces.

FERGUSON: Then, you’ll be under the umbrella of the Office of the JAG, the Judge Advocate General. During your first year, you’ll be employed as
 a legal officer, but you’ll also spend a significant part of your time on military legal education and professional development.

There’s quite a steep learning curve. The fields of law we practice are quite specialized and are not typically taught in law school. New lawyers must
learn the basics of operational law, military justice and military administrative law. You’re also provided with ongoing learning opportunities, so you
can continuously strengthen your skills as you move up the ranks.

SCHROEDER: As a Legal Officer, you never stop learning – military criminal law, maritime law, national security law. There’s always a new challenge
 and a new opportunity to grow.

FERGUSON: Most Legal Officers begin their career at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa where you’ll be working on a wide range of files with
 a team that’s similar to a medium-sized civilian law firm.

SCHROEDER: Other Legal Officers are posted to Forces bases in Canada or in places like Germany, Belgium or the United States.

FERGUSON: As a base legal advisor, I face new challenges every day. The units come to me with questions that need to be resolved, and it is my job to
 determine what the legal issues are, and how to respond effectively. Whether it’s related to discipline or questions of an administrative nature, my advice
 can have a serious impact on a member’s career.

SCHROEDER: I became a lawyer because I wanted to serve my community - I wanted to help people. And there’s no question about it. As a Legal Officer,
 I provide advice and influence decisions that can have a very significant impact on people’s lives.

FERGUSON: I get to say that it’s part of my job to go into a foreign country, often into a conflict zone, to address international legal issues. And I have
 to admit - that’s pretty exciting.

SCHROEDER: If you have the ability and the desire to do something different, to serve Canada, to do something both deeply challenging and rewarding,
 then becoming a Legal Officer in the Forces may just be the right move for you.

9.  The timing and nature of  legal advice
In general, the public has not come to know the content of legal advice given by
Canadian government lawyers to various actors in relation to the Afghanistan situation.
Such opinions have been refused based on the invocation of solicitor-client privilege as
an exception under the Access to Information Act. For example, when an ad hoc Committee
of Parliamentarians was created to deflect a showdown between the House of Commons and
the Harper government (discussed below), documents assessed by the government and a
panel of arbiters as solicitor-client communications were completely
excluded from being seen by the six participating MPs; this was one of the key reasons
that a fourth party, the New Democratic Party, refused to participate in the process.

One small exception is a glimpse at a legal opinion by then Judge Advocate General of the
Canadian Forces, Ken Watkin – a glimpse in the form of a single paragraph quoted
in a news report after a journalist had access to a copy. The news story indicates it was
a five-page memo and was written on May 22, 2007. The legal memo’s existence only
became known a full three years afterit was written when the Toronto Star reported on
it as a leak and quoted a one-paragraph extract on February 25, 2010. To re-orient the
reader of this brief, May 22, 2007, wasa month after the first Byers-Schabas letter was
sent to Prosecutor Ocampo (and made public) and similarly almost a month after the
first Globe and Mail article was published that set out in great detail the testimony
about torture of some 30 Afghans who appear to have passed through Canadian hands
on their way their abuse.

One passage of the Watkin memo is reported to read as follows:

Military commanders who know, or are criminally negligent in failing to know, that a
transferred detainee would be subjected to such abuse have the obligation to take all
necessary and reasonable measures within their power to prevent or repress the
commission of such abuse. They may also be subject to criminal liability for failing to
submit the matter to competent authorities for investigation and prosecution.

The entire Watkin memo (or other parts of it) has not been released or published,
although, obviously, the Toronto Star does appear to have at least seen a copy. It could
be important for the ICC OTP to secure a copy of it.

This small leak to the press serves to underline that it will be crucial for an ICC
investigation to follow the path of the role of lawyers and their legal advice – which
may especially come up as an issue if and when individuals seek to plead legal advice as a shield
or mitigating factor.

This includes understanding the cross-departmental role of lawyers meeting and
coordinating legal responses on the multiple fronts the last government was fighting
transparency in relation to Afghan detainee transfers.

A separate communication will be conveyed that discusses the progression from (the
little that is currently known about) the Watkin memo of May 22, 2007, to the reference
to a legal test in the earlier-reproduced passage from Lt. Gen. Gauthier’s Amplifying
Guidance of September 18, 2007.

___________Intervention in the House of Commons about the role of the Judge Advocate General, 26 March 2015 with background information by the Minister of National Defence; available at http://www.parl.gc.ca/content/hoc/House/412/Debates/190/HAN190-E.PDF (accessed 14 March 2017);


Hon. Jason Kenney (Minister of National Defence and Minister for Multiculturalism)...
We therefore believe, pursuant to legal advice received from our own Judge Advocate General and the position taken by President
Obama's administration, that we have every legal prerogative to pursue the ISIL targets in eastern Syria, in part at the invitation of the
government of Iraq under article 51 of the United Nations Charter to give practical expression to the collective right of self-defence.
[House of Commons Debates (Hansard), 26 March 2015, p. 12358]

......

Mr. Craig Scott (Toronto --Danforth, NDP)...

The government wants to go in for reasons that have as much to do with electoral politics as they do with the actual need for Canada to be
involved in this way, especially by extending the mission to Syria.
    We debated this question back in early October. At the time, the motion that was passed by the House included Syria. We knew that it did.
It was clear, and there was a condition set by the Prime Minister that Canada would not extend its active mission, particularly the bombing
part of it, without the consent of the government of Syria, namely Assad.
    The U.S. had already put out its legal rationale for going into Syria a full two to three weeks before, on September 23, 2014. Surely any
competent Canadian government and its advisers would know what that rationale was by the time we had the debate in the House, yet the
only legal basis that the government put forward then for going into Syria was one of the consent of the Syrian government. No mention was
ever made of the U.S. rationale.
    Was that because the government had legal advice from somewhere within the government that the U.S. rationale was dubious, or even not valid?
If so, how the government went about getting a legal opinion that it liked a lot better is a question that has to be asked.
    Maybe there is a hint. Newspaper reports suggests that it was the Judge Advocate General, based in the Department of National Defence, who
gave that legal opinion.

     It is one, of course, we are never going to see, because the current government will raise the bogus argument of solicitor-client privilege as the
reason we cannot see the legal opinion. However, the Judge Advocate General has no business giving legal opinions on ius ad bellum, the use of
military force as set out in general public international law. That is the role of the legal adviser to the Department of Foreign Affairs, who in every
other government and every other Westminster system would be the one giving the opinion.

     The question is begged: did the legal adviser give an opinion back in September and October? Was it favourable to the government? If so, why
do we not know about it? If it was not favourable to the government, is that why the Department of National Defence has inserted itself and
overridden the Department of Foreign Affairs in its proper role of advising the government on the lawfulness of going to war?
      These are questions we have to ask. I would remind members that we have asked them and will continue to ask them. We will want to see the
legal opinions. It is not for the sake of legality itself, but in order to know what the government sees as the basis for going in and to be able to hold
the government to account for the reasons given, under law. It is also in order to be critical, to scrutinize, and have others who are also experts say
“case made” or “case not made”.
    The fact is that unless the government changes its ways, it is going to say, “Sorry, solicitor-client privilege”, which is so bogus. First of all, the
client is the government. Second, this is the ultimate public interest. There is nothing reasonably confidential in what the government hears about
whether it can go to war that cannot be shared, not just with Parliament but with Canadians as a whole.
    Therefore, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs here in the House, I do ask him to make sure that any legal opinion that has been received by
 the government is tabled, and tabled forthwith. [House of Commons Debates (Hansard), 26 March 2015, p. 12367]

SEAMONE, Evan, Shoba Screenivasan, "A Rehabilitative Justice Pathway for War-Traumatized Offenders Caught in the Military Misconduct Catch-22", (2017) 44(1) Armed forces and society  139;
Abstract: The United States and Canada, among others, have recognized that “misconduct stress behaviors” can be a “hidden”
by-product of war-zone deployments. The American military’s paradigm of punishment over treatment creates a “military misconduct Catch-22,
 in which the service member’s treatment need is identified as a result of, or only after, violations of military law. Civilian society then bears the
justice, familial, and social costs of the military’s failure to address combat stress–based misconduct. As an alternative to existing punitive
military pathways, we propose a rehabilitative justice pathway that builds on the successes of civilian criminal justice mental health courts—
to be implemented during active duty service, before separation from the Armed Forces. The approach, predicated on the circumstances of
each case, promotes resilience, honorable discharge, and successful reintegration of service members into society.

Abstract

This paper explores how international considerations shaped the Air Regulations of 1920, the first regulation
of civil aviation in Canada. After the First World War Allied representatives drafted the Convention Relating
to the Regulation of Aerial Navigation to both constrain the revolutionary potential of heavier-than-air flight
and foster international civil aviation. The Borden government considered aviation regulation a domestic matter
rather than an imperial one and recognized that Canada’s geographic position necessitated regulatory
coordination with the United States. In response, it crafted a postwar aeronautical policy that allowed for regulatory
compatibility with the convention, facilitated cross-border flight with the United States, and promoted a more
independent foreign policy. Thus Canada’s postwar regulation of the airplane represents an important element
in its larger twentieth-century realignment away from Great Britain and towards the United States.

Operation Nebarius

The ammunition is for a little-known training and capacity building program run by the Canadian military in the West African nation of Niger
under the codename Operation Naberius, said Capt. Vincent Bouchard, a spokesman for Canadian Joint Operations Command Headquarters.

A handful of Canadian soldiers have since 2013 helped train the Niger Armed Forces in marksmanship, reconnaissance and other basic military
skills under the auspices of Operation Nebarius, the CBC News reported earlier this year.

The little-advertised operation is part of Canada’s Counter-Terrorism Capacity Building (CTCB) assistance program that “provides training, funding,
equipment, technical and legal assistance [emphasis added]  to other states to enable them to prevent and respond to terrorist activity,” according to Global Affairs Canada.

SEWARD, Tony (Anthony), formely Major, Officer Commanding 2 Commando, "Defence sharks feed on soldiers, sailors, airmen", Toronto Star, 21 June 1997 at p. B3;

Re Troops win Somalia medals (June 18) by Allan Thompson. It is about bloody time that the hard
work of the many soldiers, sailors and airmen who conducted Operation Deliverance in Somalia is
recognized by the Canadian government with a medal.

I only wish I could be standing with those individuals getting the Somalia medal, but that is not to
be because I was convicted of a military offence for a purported role in the death of Shidane Arone.

So be it, and I'm sure the others convicted feel the same as I do.

What angers me is Vice-Admiral Larry Murray's decision to have a military committee review personnel
files to determine who else might be excluded from getting a medal. What documents will his committee
be reviewing?

No doubt these documents will be military police reports and memos of the judge advocate-general's office,
but I would have thought that Murray's personal experience of being investigated by the military police would
have alerted him to the likely falsity of such documents. That was the impression made on me by his testimony
at the Somalia inquiry.

The best that can be said of the military police is that they are incompetent at investigating torture and murder.

That should not be surprising, however, since their job is to put up road signs and control traffic.

Let's hope that it is nothing more sinister than incompetence.

As for the memos that flow out of the judge advocate-general's office, it was clear even from an abridged
inquiry that these are politically tainted. How else might these memos be affected?

In my opinion, the so-called Somali affair was over prosecuted, and my suspicion is that this was motivated
in part by an effort to prevent the downsizing of the judge advocate-general's office and by some military
lawyers' desire for career advancement.

That as it may be, the military lawyers have had their days, weeks, months and years in court, and to give
them their due they obtained several convictions including my own (the bastards!).

So why, after tipping his hat to the military justice system, does Murray now want to convene a military
committee to review files?

My suspicion is that some of the sharks in National Defence Headquarters feel deprived because they were
not invited to the judge advocate- general's courtroom feeding frenzies.

Regretfully, these sharks who were never in the Ogaden Desert will satiate their appetites on sailors, soldiers
and airmen who were in Somalia.

___________ These strange, ridiculous  and contradictory creatures: conscientious objection in Canada during the First World War,  Ph.D. thesis, University of Western Ontario, 2005, 287 p.;

This dissertation offers an examination of conscientious objection in Canada during the First World War. Under the Military Service
Act (1917) exemption from combatant service was available to members of organized and well-recognized religious denominations with
clear proscriptions against military service. Conscientious objection in Canada, then, was provided for on corporate, rather
than individual grounds. This dissertation looks at the implications of conscientious objection being considered a privilege
accorded certain minority groups, rather than an individual right. It examines some of those who chose to object conscientiously,
their reasons for so doing, and their treatment by the Canadian government and military. It also discovers how the wider Canadian
public understood objection, the perceived differences between bona fide and illegitimate objectors, and thereasons why conscientious
objectors were not able to mount any organized resistance to conscription along the lines of the No-Conscription Fellowship in Britain.
It looks at the place of conscientious objection in the evolution of ideas about citizenship and obligation, and the degree to which
the experience of the First World War informed the experience of objection in the Second. This dissertation uses government documents,
newspapers, courts martial records, and church histories in order to examine who objected in the First World War, and how these
individuals corresponded to the mainstream stereotype of the Canadian conscientious objector. It contributes to ongoing discussions
surrounding Canadian peace history, religious freedom, the relationship betweenvoluntarism and obligation in civil society.

Title: Out of the Ruins: The Wire’s Baltimore - Congress 2011
Descriptive info: Jun 3, 2011.. Sarah Bernstein, Experience Congress 2011.. McMaster University PhD candidate
Sarah Trimble’s paper, “Body-More, Murdaland: Geographies of Gender, Race, and Capital in HBO’s.. The Wire.. ,”
reads the show’s Baltimore, Maryland as a space of becoming.. Trimble begins with a discussion of.. ’s second
season, which opens with the discovery of thirteen Jane Does in a shipping container in the Baltimore harbor..
The port, in its last stages of physical and economic decay, becomes a site of convergence for space and flesh..
Jump cuts create visual proximities between the embodied vulnerability of trafficked female bodies and the death
of work for white, working-class men.. As trafficked bodies, the Jane Does act as economic supplements to
working-class labour, while representing, at the same time, the eclipse of the working-class labour sector.. The
Jane Does also suggest a “feminization” of work – serving as a reminder that the labour market has shifted in favour
of the service industry.. In this way, Trimble sees.. playing with the long (think Imperial) history of gendering  ...
For Trimble, who is interested in finding other ways to read apocalyptic narratives,.. ’s ruined Baltimore develops
and rebuilds at the same time as it fissures to reveal the displaced, invisible bodies – the “collateral damage”
(incidentally, also the title of the season’s fifteenth episode) of this economic development.. Survivalist readings of
apocalyptic narratives amount to a “reconstituting [of] the family around a patriarchal model,” Trimble says.. Finding
an alternative reading, she feels, is ethically important.. “I was interested in the suppressed alternative, what happens
to women and children in the apocalyptic vision.. Trimble sees.. as exploring the “condition that we live in”: the ways
in which city-dwellers inherit proximities and fields of possibility from the city’s “spaces that open and close.. Histories
get materialized in our lives and bodies,” she says.. The city-space offers a “spectrum of futures.. The Wire’s.. apocalyptic
Baltimore is not just a ruin out of which something can be built; it is a site of excavation where visions and memories
themselves resonate.. Photo courtesy.. hirejoejohnson.. at Flickr..

An examination of the biomedical ethical challenges faced by military healthcare providers during deployed operations, A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Public Ethics Faculty of Philosophy Saint Paul University July 2016, Ottawa, 2016, ix, 102 leaves; available at https://www.ruor.uottawa.ca/bitstream/10393/35183/1/Sibbald_Joanne_2016_thesis.pdf (accessed 19 September 2016);

Abstract
Military humanitarian civic assistance programs are short-duration medical missions during
which military healthcare providers provide medical treatment and assistance to a civilian
population. Created to provide medical care to populations in need, these programs have also
been utilized as a tool to support broader geopolitical and military aims. The inherent structure of
these programs can exacerbate or create situational vulnerabilities in the patient population.
Further, this structure may challenge the ability of military healthcare to adhere to the four
guiding principles of biomedical ethics: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and
justice.  In examining these programs through a bio medical ethical lens, it is believed that many
of the challenges present in these programs can be mitigated through enhancements to pre-
deployment training and education for healthcare providers in vulnerability and biomedical
ethics, greater partnerships with local healthcare providers, and a re-examination of program-
specific policies and doctrine within senior government and the military.

Abstract
This paper discusses the law applicable to Canadian Forces intelligence gathering interrogations activities that take place
in the context of international operations. The objective is to provide a broad overview of the law of interrogation by
considering interrogation methods and techniques and exploring what is meant by torture and illtreatment in this context.
In situations of armed conflict, International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is applicable as lex specialis and human rights law
as lex generalis. This paper considers the minimum level of protection to which detainees are entitled under the provisions
of IHL and the standards of treatment that define the acceptable legal boundaries relevant to interrogations. In so doing,
the analysis also considers other areas and sources of law to better understand and interpret the applicable legal obligations.
Finally, specific methods and techniques aimed at persuading a detainee to cooperate are examined.

Résumé
Le présent document fait l'analyse du droit applicable aux interrogatoires que mènent les Forces canadiennes dans le cadre
d'opérations internationales en vue de recueillir des renseignements. Il vise à donner un large aperçu du droit régissant les
interrogatoires en examinant les méthodes et techniques d'interrogation et en définissant les concepts de torture et de mauvais
traitements dans ce contexte. En situation de conflit armé, le droit international humanitaire (DIH) constitue les règles
spéciales (lex specialis) applicables et les droits de la personne, les règles générales (lex generalis). Le présent document traite
du niveau de protection minimal accordé à un détenu en vertu du DIH et des normes de traitement qui définissent les limites
juridiquement acceptables en matière d'interrogatoires. Ce faisant, la présente analyse tient aussi compte d'autres domaines et
sources de droit qui permettent de mieux comprendre et interpréter les obligations juridiques pertinentes. Enfin, les méthodes
et techniques précises visant à convaincre un détenu de coopérer sont examinées.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Brigadier General (Retired)
James McGarry Simpson CD, QC at the Perley & Rideau Veterans' Health
Centre on December 7th, 2020 in his 98th year. Beloved husband of 63 years
to the late Shirley Simpson (nee Kingsmill), and loving father to Paula Simpson
(Dale Carson) and Tim Simpson (Stephanie Shover). Proud grandfather to
Jamie Janes (Matthew Janes), Corey Carson (Behnaz Nouralian), Amanda
Carson (Christopher McFaul), and proud great-grandfather to Parker & Madison
Janes. Lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews Penny and Stan
Kennedy, Jamie and Gloria Duhame, Ken and Peggy Gibson and fondly
remembered by many extended family  members in Ottawa, Winnipeg,
Western Canada, the United States and Scotland.

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on February 1st, 1923 to the late Charles and
Margaret (nee McGarry) Simpson, Jim enlisted to go to war where he eventually
became a night-flyer mosquito navigator in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Upon return to Canada, he attended the University of Manitoba while spending
summers photo-mapping the Northwest Territories. He graduated from Manitoba
with a law degree, Harvard Law School with a Masters in 1959, and then from the
Royal Military College in London, England in 1964. Jim ascended the ranks to
become a respected and accomplished lawyer and was appointed Judge Advocate
General of Canada in 1972. He retired in 1976 after 36 years in the military to
work as an international contract lawyer for the United Nations in both New York
City and Vienna, and occasionally for the Law Reform Commission of Canada and
private law firms.


To know Jim was to know truth, kindness, humility and generosity. A true gentleman
with a sharp wit and a master of pun, his sense of humour always kept those around him
laughing. He loved music from an early age, and was an avid golfer and runner. He began
long distance running in his early fifties, and completed five full marathons with his first
at the incredible age of 72. Jim was an esteemed member of the community and an
inspiration to many with his never ending work ethic, supportive personality and long list
of accomplishments. He lived a long, happy and always active life closely surrounded by
family, friends, neighbours and pets.

Testimonies from former JAGs:


Dear Simpson Family, It was with much sadness that I heard of Jim’s recent passing. I offer my sincere condolences.
I was a young Captain joining the Legal Branch about the time Jim was leaving. Nonetheless,
he had already establish an impressive reputation as a low-key, professional, effective and caring
JAG. Every new offcier was well aware of Jim’s commitment to the OJAG and the rule of law.
His career was one to be admired and served as an example to us all. Over my career, I had several
occasions to speak with Jim. He always made the time to speak with and mentor younger officers.
I always learned much from him. When I became JAG, I had the distinct honour of hosting Jim,
and other past JAGs, at the the JAG 100th Anniversary Ball in 2011 in Ottawa. Jim was in fine
shape and great humour. We all enjoyed his company and stories of days past. He will be missed
but he leaves a great legacy. His spirit lives on. I thank him and his family for their many sacrifices
in the service of the OJAG, the CAF and Canada. Fiat Justitia (Let Justice Prevail). Take care.
Major-General (Ret’d) Blaise Cathcart, OMM,CD, QC ( former Judge Advocate General, 2010-2017)
17 December 2020.


It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of General Jim. He was responsible for authorizing
my transfer into the legal branch in the 1970’s. An amazing man in all respects. He never lost touch with
the JAG family. He was kind, considerate, humble and generous. He left an undeniable positive impact
on all military lawyers with whom he came into contact. On behalf of myself and my family condolences
to the Simpson family. We will miss him.
Major-General (retired) Jerry Pitzul CMM, CD, QC (Judge Advocate General 1998-2006)
December 15, 2020.


As a young JAG officer who joined the Branch in 1982 I only had limited contact with Jim Simpson.
However, that is not to say that he was not well known. Highly respected by those who had served
with him his name regularly entered into the conversation about legal matters during those early
years. He graciously returned to the Branch offices periodically to meet the new legal officers.
Needless to say he had legendary status, not only because of his military service, but also as a
result of his post-retirement employment with the UN. This was topped off by his impressively
late entry into the world of marathons. A true gentleman, he always took the time to chat with
 us younger officers.   Jim's family are rightly proud of his service to Canada both in war and peace.

Weapons treaties have tended to emerge through different processes. In the case of the campaign to prohibit anti-personnel mines, for example,
the driving forces were non-governmental organizations.17 The ICRC also played an important role, as did a core group of states led by Canada.18
The campaign ultimately led to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on
their Destruction, which was adopted by states at a diplomatic conference in Oslo, and subsequently opened for signature in Ottawa....

‘regularly reference the military manuals of four States – Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The international legal
community generally considers these four manuals to be especially useful during legal research and analysis with respect to conflict issues, although
their use should not be interpreted as a comment on the quality of any other such manuals. Moreover, the International Group of Experts included
members who participated in the drafting of each of the four manuals. These members were able to provide invaluable insight into the genesis, basis,
and meaning of specific provisions. Finally, unlike many other military manuals, these four are all publicly available.’69

Abstract

In 1993, the Canadian peacekeeping operation in Somalia came under international scrutiny when a
young Somali, Shidane Arone, was beaten to death. His killing cast a dark shadow over a Canadian
mission that aimed to provide humanitarian assistance and ensure Canada’s international reputation
as a promoter of human rights. Subsequent investigations revealed that 2 Commando, the unit that
killed Arone, had been involved in several violent incidents with civilians. However, other Canadian
units in similarly hostile conditions had offered comfort and assistance to civilians. After examining
training records, enforcement of civilian protection norms, and unit subculture, the author finds that
2 Commando had developed a pernicious subculture that led them to quickly escalate situations to
violence and endanger civilians. Although responsibility for Arone’s death was properly attributed
to the members of the unit, failures in socialization, particularly in ignoring 2 Commando’s
countercultural subculture, occurred throughout the chain of command.

Arthur Leroy Smith
Progressive Conservative

___________House of Commons, Hansard, 23 August 1946:

Mr. SMITH (Calgary West):

...of the time of the committee to mention two matters of concern about which
I know something. I have no military achievements whatsoever, with the exception
that once I was a lance-corporal in the boys' brigade of the Methodist church in
Regina. That is as far as I got. Therefore I do not discuss matters of a military
nature. However I should make a suggestion to the minister, one which I have no
doubt has been made before. It has reference to courts martial. During the war I
appeared in quite a number of them, one of which I remember lasted eight days-and
perhaps may I say, in my own defence, appearing at all times without fee, as perhaps
a little contribution I might make in my own way to the war effort. But in my view
the whole system of courts martial is wrong. I am not referring to what an officer
in the field may do in respect of those minor things over which he has charge, My
suggestion is that in each military district there should be an appointee who would
be in the position of judge, and that such appointee would not be in uniform, but
would be in civvies. He would have nothing to hope for by way of promotion,
because there would be no further opportunity for promotion. Why do I make this
suggestion? I have in mind a court martial of an officer holding the rank of lieutenant-
colonel. On the court were five officers, two of whom were brigadiers. We had a
judge advocate from Victoria- and a very fine one at that. We had a prosecutor from
London, Ontario. That court martial lasted eight days, and ended with a reprimand,
or exactly the same decision which had been rendered by the district officer commanding
in district 13, Brigadier Harvey. I am sure that court martial must have cost the country
between $4,000 and $5,000; and I refer to it only by way of example. That court martial
had been ordered by the then minister of national defence, Colonel Ralston. The men
who comprised the court were fine men, honest men-I have no criticism in that respect
at all. But they all had certain ambitions in the army. And no one can tell me that after
going through the history of a case, where there has been a court of inquiry and where
a district officer has made a decision, following which the court martial has been
ordered, the persons sitting in judgment are not going to be affected by those conditions.
Unconsciously they will. Let us take another case, comiflg down to lower ranks. We find
that a court martial has been held and perhaps an acquittal ordered or a light sentence
imposed. I state no secret when I say that it is a custom in the army for the divisional
commander, or whatever his rank may be-the person higher up, anyway-to telephone or
to send notes saying, for example, "if this thing goes on, discipline will be weakened"-or
will disappear. In other words my thought is that justice cannot Supply-Defence-Army
be administered properly when, all the time, there is a senior officer back somewhere who
is in a position to criticize, and who is always in a position to assist by way of making
promotions. On the financial side-and I advance this idea for the minister's consideration-on
the financial side I am quite sure that it would not be an added expense. As you know, when
senior officers are charged you endeavour to bring in persons not in that area and so the
expense adds up. I make the suggestion knowing perfectly well that you cannot do
anything about it now. I had about ten experiences with courts martial during this last war;
I am not complaining about what they did-that is not the points- but it does seem to me that
there is something well worthy of thought and I am inclined to think that the suggestion I
have made may be of value. I turn now to something which may not be regarded as being
so constructive, the letter from the commissioner of the mounted police.

___________on Major-General Henry SMITH, see MORTON, Desmond, 1937-, The Canadian General : Sir William Otter, Toronto : Hakkert, 1974, xix, 423 p., [8] leaves of plates : ill., maps, ports. ; 24 cm., Historical publication (Canadian War Museum), 0317-3860; no. 9; ISBN: 0888665350:

His [Otter's] second-in-command was Major Henry Smith, a Cobourg lawyer, and former brigade major, removed for political
reasons by the Liberals in the 1870s.  Smith might be a politician but he was also a keen soldier. [pp. 94-95]
..........

There was another change which affected Otter even more directly.  On January 1st, 1896, Colonel Walker Powell finally
retired.  As senior Canadian-born officer in the force and adjutant general since 1875, filling Powell's shoes had become
the summit of Otter's reasonable ambition.  An officer whom the newspapers constantly suggested as a suitable replacement
for the British general might, at least, be considered for the post.  To others, it was by no means obvious.  By some rights,
promotion was due to Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Aylmer, Powell's deputy.  However, Aylmer was a Liberal.  To his surprise,
Otter found that the favoured candidate was his old subordinate, lieutenant Colonel Henry Smith.  According to Otter's only
influential Conservative friend, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Tyrwhitt M.P.  Smith and his collaborators had been lobbying
government members for months.  Now, organized delegations of Ontario Tory M.P.s were calling on the minister of militia.
Eight years before, Sam Hughes had promised Otter his own support and that of his newspaper: now he was on the other side.
With characteristic bluntness, Hughes justified his conversion to Colonel Smith.  First, Aylmer, with his "grit proclivities," had
to be defeated.  Then there was the powerful suspicion that Otter, as the friend of Buchan and Mutton, was not himself
immune from that contamination.  In contrast, Henry Smith's allegiance was never in doubt: "He has always exercised his rights as
a freeman and voted for his party.  More than that, he has, without injury or loss of time or service to the force, always contributed
more than his means would admit of sometimes for the old party."

.....In fact, the appoitment remained vacant.  Colonel Tyrwhitt reported that Gascoigne had threatened to resign if the political
Colonel Smith was appointed... [pp. 151-152, footnotes omitted]

..........

He [Otter] might not, for example, have expected that they ["his new ennemies"] would command the full support of the Canadian Military Gazette
or that its elderly editor, his old subordinate, Henry Smith, already in full cry against the Liberal government, would so
cheerfully add Otter's to his list of intended scalps.  Indeed, as the election approached, Smith displayed a wholly unexpected taste
for invective. [p. 269]

..........

His [Minister Hughes'] doctrine of political favouritism was straightforward enough.  "Outside of promotions of high officials,"
he assured journalists, "I have no hesitation in saying that as between two men, one qualified and the other unqualified, the
qualified man being a liberal and the unqualified one being a Tory, the Liberal will get the job.  But other things being equal,
both being qualified, the Tory will get the job."  Of course qualification was very much a matter for the minister's own
judgement. .... Another [Otter's ]subordinate and bitter critic, long since retired, was Colonel Henry Smith, Hughes created
the appointment of judge advocate general for his old crony. [p. 310; footnote omitted]

Morton states; a predecessor of Smith’s as editor of the Gazette was “Captain” Fred Dixon. A Non-Permanent Active
Militia officer, he accompanied Canada’s First Contingent to South Africa in October 1899 as the Historical Recorder.
Dixon’s sudden departure for overseas duty would have likely prompted the appointment of Henry Smith to the vacant
editorship of the Canadian Military Gazette. [6] Col. Henry Smith was editor of the Canadian Military Gazette from
September 4th 1900 issue until the 13 September 1904 issue,.97[7]
....

 The Canadian Military Gazette editorial policy was distinctly anti-Liberal, pro-Conservative, Imperialist’s, reflecting
viewpoints of the once mighty Militia Lobby in the House of Commons. Styled as the “Parliamentary Colonels,” even
though their numbers diminished, the Magazines editors ect., Militia colonels or officers from the NAPM, PAM took
the reins trough an epoch. However when Colonel Henry Smiths “a Militia reformer; an ardent Imperialist, an
Anglican.” [8] A former Permanent Force officer surprisingly editor of the Military Gazette, allied connections to the
NPAM [Non-Permanent Active Militia], Militia Lobby, Conservative Party; publishing militia affaires, airing irritations
on both sides, viewed pertinacious to their cause.

SMITH, Randy and Victoria Edwards, "E3161 Victoria Edwards (RMC 2003) interviewed 12339 LCol Randy Smith, Director, Office of the DND/CF Legal Advisor/ Legal Advisory Services", Posted by rmcclub on 11th March 2012, available at http://everitas.rmcclub.ca/?m=201203&paged=3 (accessed on 18 November 2014):

e-veritas: You have also done operational deployments as a JAG officer?

12339 LCol Randy Smith: In 2006, I deployed to Afghanistan as Legal Advisor with the National Command Element at KAF.
I was the advisor to BGen. (Now MGen) David Fraser, who was the commander of the Multinational Brigade for Regional
Command South in Afghanistan’s southern provinces in 2006. I was indeed fortunate to serve for MGen Fraser as his senior
legal advisor on Canadian legal matters; he was a real leader and a gentleman. I later presented a paper based on my experience
on the Rule of Law in Afghanistan “Law, reality on the ground, and the “no-man’s land” in between” at the Canadian Council
on International Law 35th Annual Conference: Individuals, States and Organizations (Oct 26th, 2006).

e-veritas: You returned to develop curriculum and teach law at RMC from 2000-2.

12339 LCol Randy Smith: In 2000, I was posted to the Office of Military Legal Education or OMLE (now called the Canadian
Forces Military Law Centre (CFMLC)) at RMC Kingston., a joint effort of the Canadian Defence Academy and the Office of
the JAG to provide innovative legal research, education and training to the CF. Developing curriculum and teaching two 3-4th
year courses at RMC took up 70% of my time. Within the broader context of Public International Law, The  (LOAC) course
POE488 considers LOAC`s two branches, the jus ad bellum (the right to the use of force) and the jus in bello (the law applicable
in conflict). POE486 Air and Space Law focuses on the international and national law applicable to air operations and outer space
activities, particularly of a military nature.

......

e-veritas: Your current position is varied compared to a traditional practice in administrative and personnel law.

12339 LCol Randy Smith: As Director, Office of the DND/CF Legal Advisor/ Legal Advisory Services, I supervise a team of
5 Justice lawyers, 4 Military lawyers, and 2 administrative assistants. The DND/CF LA provides legal services to the DND/CF
in all areas of the law, except those related to military law, military discipline, and the military justice system for which the
Office of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) is responsible. The DND/CF LA is organized into four divisions: Litigation and
Legal Advisory Services; Commercial Law Advisory Services; Public Law Advisory Services; and Support Services (e.g. finance,
human resources, information technology). The DND/CF LA provides legal services on issues relating to public law (e.g. human
rights, Charter of Rights, Aboriginal matters, access to information and privacy, labour and employment law, official languages),
national security law, legal risk management, contracting and procurement, environmental law, real property law, claims and civil
litigation, intellectual property law, Defence Administration Orders and Directives (DAOD) drafting, and legislative support.

......

12339 LCol Randy Smith: I started my career in JAG serving as defense counsel and prosecutor in both official languages.

As a legal advisor with Chief Military Personnel, I served as counsel on many cases related to the principal of
“universality of service” within the larger context of human rights. Universality of Service requires members
to perform general military duties, such as maintaining physical fitness, in order to continue service
with the Canadian Forces.

I served as legal advisor to Canada Command from 2007-10, which is responsible for the day-to-day oversight
of domestic and continental routine and contingency Canadian Forces operations. The Command has a lead
role in: Daily domestic and continental operations, including in the Arctic and through NORAD;
Support for major events held in Canada, such as the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games;
Response to a terrorist attack; and Support for civilian authorities during a domestic crisis such as a natural
disaster. This posting was exciting, and involved very long hours, often in the middle of nights and on weekends.

This book examines the legal implications of employing drones, which are flown autonomously, or by remote control, without
a pilot onboard. For a small fraction of the price of an airplane or helicopter, drones can fly through hazardous areas without
risking human lives, provide detailed information about people and things far below, and flutter past traffic jams to deliver
packages on time. It is estimated that by the year 2020, as many as 30,000 drones will be occupying national airspace in the
United States alone. This is one of the only books to date that considers the ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of
drones by government, industry, and individuals within the United States. It provides up-to-date information about the
current domestic and international regulatory framework governing the private and public use of drones for military,
commercial and recreational purposes.

Abstract

What was the fate of liberal pacifism in Canada during the Great War? Although the majority of social reformers identified
with the war effort, not all pre-war pacifists succumbed to war hysteria or renounced pacifism outright. Some simply fell
silent. Others tried to maintain a more critical acquiescence in the war. Most important, however, was a small minority of
radical pacifists whose opposition to war was but one expression of their larger critique of the entire social and economic
order. Although not articulated fully during the first war, their synthesis of pacifism with radical social action laid the basis
for a renewed peace movement in the post-war era.

Summary

The twentieth century has been a time of world wars, violent revolutions and radical social movements. Conversely, perhaps in response
to the former, there has also been an upsurge in the phenomenon of pacifism, especially in the English speaking world. This thesis examines
 the development of pacifism in Canada in the first half of this century and describes its radicalization in conjunction with the trend towards
 radical social change. Canadian pacifism can trace its origins to a varied European, British and American past rooted in two distinct but
 complementary traditions, both of which were heavily religious in character. One was the historic non-resistance of pacifist religious sects
 which tried to remain separate from the social mainstream. The other was the liberal Protestant and humanitarian tradition associated with
 the progressive reform movement. Both traditions underwent an important transition in the course of maintaining a pacifist witness against
 war during the twentieth century. Although sectarian pacifists, by far the largest and most consistent element in Canadian pacifism, made a
 far-reaching adjustment within Canadian society, it was liberal pacifists who experienced a general radicalization. From the time of the First
 War increasing numbers of those who wished to exercise a pacifist witness were forced to abandon liberal reformism for some variant of the
 socialist creed. In effect, liberal pacifist ideals were combined with radical criticism of Canadian social, political and economic structures.
 Although liberal pacifist hopes resurfaced in post-war enthusiasm for the League of Nations and the disarmament campaign, the inter-war
 peace movement, including such groups as the Society of Friends, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the Fellowship
 of Reconciliation and the Fellowship for a Christian Social Order, reflected the socially radical pacifism the Great War had bred. This became
 especially evident during the depression and for a time it appeared a pacifist-socialist alignment was in the forefront of Canadian social
 thought. Increased international violence by the mid-thirties, however, placed pacifists in a serious crisis--their pursuit of social justice came
 into direct conflict with their commitment to non-violence. Consequently, as social radicals began to abandon pacifism for the fight against
 fascism, the Canadian peace movement was severely weakened. With the exception of the Quakers, who bridged the primary division in the
 Canadian peace movement, the historic peace sects were not as open to view, but once confronted with the renewed challenge of conscription
 in the 1940's, sectarian pacifists joined with socially active pacifists in a concerted effort to preserve the right of individual conscience and to
 resist compulsory military service. Some pacifists, especially those with liberal roots, went further and sought and found a realistic pacifist
 response to wartime conditions, over and above moral indignation or isolation. Regardless of their precise actions, however, Canadian pacifists
 successfully exercised their witness against war. The thesis concludes that Canadian pacifists were a small but forceful minority who exercised
 a dual function in Canada: prophecy of an ideal of peace and justice and reconciliation of wartime tensions in society. Above all, however, in
 its uncompromising emphasis upon questions of conscience, the pacifist witness against war both directly and indirectly helped preserve
enduring moral principles underlying Canadian culture. (source: http://hollis.harvard.edu/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=detailsTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=TN_proquest

International law experts worry that the recent failure of a United Nations Group of Government Experts [UN GGE] to reach unanimity on cyber law may
 lead to more state-backed online assaults.

“It’s certainly not positive this has happened, when you’re getting down to whether international law even applies (in cyberspace),”
Kenneth Watkin, a retired Brigadier-General and former Judge Advocate General of the Canadian Forces said in an interview Monday.

...

The Group, with an expanding number of countries, has been meeting since 2004 to agree on how laws and rules limiting conventional
war – such as an “armed attack” and the right to self-defense – apply in the cyber world.


...

Canada signed the 2012-2013 report of the GGE on the applicability of international law in cyberspace, seeing it “as the cornerstone for
norms and principles for responsible state behaviour.” Canada was a member of the Group that year.

Undoubtedly, had the Public Inquiry been allowed to proceed with its original mandate, the entire military justice system would
have collapsed and top officials would likely be facing charges of obstructing justice in murder cases.

 Abstract:     
This article explores independent administrative bodies, and their place in Canada’s political, constitutional and legal landscape. While these adjudicative, regulatory
and accountability bodies have come to play an integral role in the lives of every Canadian, we tend to pay attention to them only when there is a problem or a headline
grabbing incident. Allegations of political interference with Elections Canada, the Canadian Military Complaints Commission and the Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission by the Federal government have brought the puzzle of independence of these bodies into stark relief.

The article treats each of these incidents as cautionary tales. These cautionary tales are part of a broader puzzle. All administrative bodies are, by definition, dependent
for their existence on their legislative mandate. Further, these bodies are not free to adopt the mandate they believe is most appropriate, but must discharge the
responsibilities provided to them. These bodies do not choose the people best able to carry out this mandate; rather, the executive controls appointments. Notwithstanding
the significant ways in which these administrative bodies are dependent on government, however, they are nonetheless routinely declared by courts to be independent, and
protected from political interference by common law procedural doctrines modeled after the constitutional principle of judicial independence.

The recent confrontations show that there is little to compel Canadian governments to respect the independence of administrative agencies if they do not want to. They
reveal the hard but important truth about independence in administrative decision-making: while the rule of law and principles of fairness and impartiality may require
independence, only political leadership can sustain it. Political leadership created independent agencies in order to ensure that important areas of the public interest
(such as governing fair and free elections, regulating nuclear power and overseeing military police activities) are served by people and institutions that are not caught up
in partisan politics. Only political leadership can ultimately safeguard the independence of administrative bodies, so that they are free to pursue the public interest
without partisan interference.

This past semester, I had the privilege to be a part of an innovative research course at Osgoode Hall Law School – entitled “JAG Perspectives on Administrative Law,
Military Justice and International Operational Law”. The premise was a simple one. We asked the Judge Advocates General (JAG) office of the Canadian Department
of National Defense to share the legal questions on which they would most want to see greater reflection and depth, and we put these questions to a group of upper year
Osgoode students to explore and research. The students were supervised by an Osgoode faculty member but each also was assigned a JAG lawyer as a research
liason/resource. Several times during the semester the students and I met with the JAG lawyers at the Downsview base, just a short drive away from the Law School.

Student papers ranged from the appropriate response of international law to cyberwar, how the law of war crimes should respond to coalition forces where the soldiers
of one country may be under the command of another, to the evolving labour relationship between the Crown and the armed forces in Canada. The JAG lawyers’ input
in the research was thought-provoking and insightful – posing examples from their experience that the students would never have uncovered in a library.

Abstract

In the late 1990s when Canada was largely removing itself from United Nations peace support endeavours, private
military and security companies were heralded as likely replacements. Canada has indicated its desire to reengage
in a United Nations peace support milieu in which there is now a private military and security presence. It is not the
type of presence initially envisioned, but it is one with multiple impacts regarding training and operations. This article
emphasizes the interventions in the first decade of the twenty-first century and the corresponding, defensively minded
regulations that came about in the private military and security industry. The article reveals that commercial logics are
now insinuated in United Nations peace support operations and the private military and security presence therein is
indicative of a larger shift in United Nations activities towards insularity and protection.

___________"What Montreux means: Canada and the new regulation of the international private military and security industry", (2010) 16(1) Canadian Foreign Policy Journal 1;

This article assesses the likely impacts on Canada of the Montreux Document on Pertinent International Legal Obligations and Good Practices
for States Related to Operations of Private Military and Security Companies During Armed Conflict ("the document"). The article contends that
the document's provisions for states contracting private military and security services would require a reconsideration of personnel vetting, a task
that will be difficult for Canada to enact. As well, while the document asserts that contracting states are clearly responsible for the actions of their
contracted companies, the utility of these companies as a policy tool, given the industry's shift towards indigenization, may be significantly
compromised. The article also argues that the document's good practices for the home states in which companies are based, risks politicizing the
bilateral defence trade between Canada and the United States because of the latter's prominence in the industry.

Overview
....
Special operations forces (SOF), a group comprised of highly trained personnel
with the ability to deploy rapidly and apply special skills in a variety of
environments and circumstances, is the logical force of choice to achieve success
in the COE. Increasing their effectiveness is cultural intelligence (CQ) – the ability
to recognize the shared beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviours of a group of
people and then apply that knowledge toward a specific goal. Empowered by CQ,
SOF are positioned to dominate in the COE.

SPIERS, Rosemary, "PM in tough spot over Somalia inquiry", Toronto Star, Feb 13, 1997, p. A.25;

Description:   PRIME MINISTER Jean Chretien prides himself on letting his cabinet ministers run their own show; we know that. But, in the case
of the Somalia inquiry, the unquestioning backing that the Prime Minister has given to two very different defence ministers - first David Collenette
and now Doug Young - is putting the PM at risk. First, he stood loyally behind Collenette, Gilles Letourneau had to run its independent course, no
matter how embarrassing its revelations. When he appointed Letourneau in March, 1995, Collenette personally wrote the word ``coverup'' into the
inquiry's terms of reference, and he didn't flinch even when the spotlight turned on the top echelons of his own department and the military command
under the Liberals. Chretien and Young now blame the inquiry. They point out that Letourneau originally was supposed to report on Dec. 22, 1995,
and already has had two extensions. But the mandate they handed the inquiry was huge - from the suitability of the Airborne Regiment for the Somalia
mission, to the discipline exercised by the commanders, the attitudes of the soldiers to black ``detainees,'' the allegations of coverup in the shooting
death of one Somali and the torture death of another, and what went wrong with the chain of command. Until last fall, when Chretien first expressed
a certain impatience with the inquiry's painstaking style, no one hinted to Letourneau that he ought to get on with it.

Speaking from experience I note that the military leadership is not always particularly open to change where these topics are concerned. This
resistance to change is often rooted in a deeply felt concern about the interests of the country in general and the important role of the military
therein in particular.  One can understand that Senior Commanders, in their unique responsibility as "standard-bearers" for the requirements
of discipline and operational effectiveness, perceive a particular responsibility for maintaining a status quo. Often there seems to be a strong
conviction that all change will be for the worse. [p. 53]
......

In closing I submit to you that it is extremely important that we exchange views about developments like these in an international setting as we do today.  In this
respect I thank the organizers again and gladly take the opportunity to compliment my Canadian military legal colleagues. I am in a position to judge, from which
I wish to say that the Canadian military legal advisors are second to none in their knowledge and professional conduct, particularly also in operational circumstances.
I have met and continue to meet them in both operational and legal environments and - without exception - they show very high standards, contribute to a better
understanding amongst partners and work towards solutions. I wish to compliment the Judge Advocate General, MGen Blaise Cathcart, for deploying his legal advisors
in the broadest sense possible, thus showing a great example, enhancing international cooperation and - thus- contributing to a better application of the principles of
military justice in all those other countries.  This is the way ahead for all. [p. 55]

Because the Canadian Forces still relied on British statutes for military discipline, British proposals for military law reform in the years before
the Second World War are surveyed. During this war, the Canadian armed services continued to rely on British manuals and modifications to
British law for Canadian disciplinary codes; however, the Canadian JAG and his overseas deputies oversaw the administration of Canadian
military justice. Officers in the army and navy, in particular, continued to work closely with their British counterparts. The JAG office expanded
to meet an increased workload and faced new challenges, including participation in war crimes trials. Madsen raises key issues and questions as
he addresses these early Canadian efforts to try Nazi war criminals. By 1950 the National Defence Act had replaced seven British and Canadian
statutes that previously governed the Canadian armed services. It also incorporated a common disciplinary code for army, navy, and air force.
Madsen identifies a consequent decrease in the number ofcourts martial and increased use of summary punishments, a trend with significant
implications in later years as the Canadian...

Abstract

This article is the first step in a major research project on Canadian disaster law. As such, the article's first objective is to map the terrain
of the law in Canada that governs disasters. To provide context for this exercise in mapping, the article focuses on the circumstances
surrounding the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire ('the Beast'). Focusing on the 'the Beast' also gives rise to the article's second objective:
a critical examination of the ways in which Canadian disaster law fails to reflect foundational social science research on disaster harm.
The article argues that the current framework of Canadian law lacks nuance in its understanding of vulnerability and fails to identify
and address communities that are especially vulnerable to disaster harm. It also argues that the implementation of the relevant law to
disasters fails to adequately incorporate legal mechanisms that can connect disaster law with the underlying drivers of disaster
vulnerability. The outcome is that Canadian disaster law currently leaves Canadians unnecessarily susceptible to disaster harm.

As concerns about the environment increase and civilians continue to become casualties of armed conflict, we must reflect on traditional approaches and applications of International Humanitarian law [IHL]. While the current state of IHL provides protections for civilians and the environment, examples in practice of excessive harms to both suggest a gap exists in these protections. Current academic literature in the field tends to focus on either the protection of civilians or the protection of the environment, on either IHL or International Environmental law [IEL]. This is problematic as the two are inextricably linked: civilians and environment often, if not always, go hand in hand. This thesis seeks to close these gaps. It begins with an examination of existing IHL and a look at two instances which resulted in excessive harms to civilians and the environment. Next, it turns to the role of general principles of international law, in particular the precautionary principle and the principle of intergenerational equity in IEL, which are well-accustomed to dealing with short-term and long-term health and environmental risks, as well as scientific uncertainty. The thesis demonstrates how the use of these principles in military decision-making could fill the existing gaps in IHL.

Abstract: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a pressing concern among members and
veterans of the Canadian Forces, and the issue attracts chronic conflict. Diagnosis and treatment
is dominated by the psychiatric definition; however, that model is not a pure distillation of
biomedical epidemiology, but also the product of specific sociocultural and political discourses.
Although the phenomenon of prolonged mental suffering in response to adversity is universal,
the experience is narrated differently across different cultures. I investigated the discourse of
military PTSD among (predominately Canadian) military members and veterans on social media.
Participants spoke from a collectivist worldview, narrated PTSD as a disorder of progressive
alienation and isolation, and prioritized loss of identity and connection over symptom checklists.
They sought to claim a collective identity in which PTSD was congruent with their military role,
rather than a disease of the individual brain, and they prioritized interconnectedness as the route to healing.

Résumé

Le but de cet ouvrage est de présenter la portée et la limite du droit international humanitaire régissant les opérations aériennes en période de conflit armé. Dans ce dessein,
nous passerons en revue les conventions internationales datant de 1899 à nos jours. Considérant que l'ordre juridique international possède tous les instruments nécessaires
afin d'assurer aux populations civiles sécurité et immunité contre les effets nuisibles de la guerre, les dommages directs et indirects causés aux complexes civils lors de
bombardements aériens peuvent constituer des violations graves au droit international humanitaire. Par une démarche méthodologique juridique classique, le lecteur sera
amené a considérer l'évolution du cadre normatif, particulièrement du droit de l'attaquant de se défendre avec l'arme aérienne, mais aussi du droit de la population civile
et des non-combattants à être épargnés des effets des hostilités. Les conflits armés de la fin du xxe siècle démontrent bien que les guerres du futur reposeront davantage
sur des opérations militaires à la verticale, c'est-à-dire que le point d'attaque pourra être envisagé depuis l'espace atmosphérique. Ainsi, l'avion de guerre et les systèmes
de satellites extra-atmosphériques permettront de déplacer la zone de combat au niveau de la troisième dimension. Cet avantage soulève dès lors le spectre de la conduite
asymétrique de la guerre technologique au bénéfice des puissances aérospatiales. Or, cette technologie militaire qui promettait plus de précision dans le ciblage des objectifs
militaires produit des effets néfastes à l'endroit des populations civiles à proximité des objectifs militaires situés dans la zone de combat (pour ne reprendre que le cas des
bombardements des forces de l'OTAN au Kosovo). Ainsi, la stratégie militaire contemporaine vise le transfert du risque militaire vers l'adversaire. En effet, la zone de combat
ennemie devient source de gestion tant par l'agresseur que la victime des bombardements. Ainsi, perte du capital humain et matériel des forces militaires, la minimisation
des massacres humains du côté de l'ennemi, la transmission des images par les médias de masse, la projection de la responsabilité des dommages collatéraux sur les moyens
perfides de l'ennemi deviennent dorénavant des «éléments» calculables dans le «risque» militaire des puissances occidentales. Du côté de l'ennemi, en position d'«infériorité»
technologique, il déplace délibérément la zone de combat dans des zones urbaines densément peuplées situées près des objectifs militaires légitimes. Le constat fait après les
récents conflits armés suscite inquiétude et soulève nombre de problématiques. L'absence d'un cadre normatif légiférant tant les nouvelles méthodes de combat que la conduite
des hostilités par la voie des airs requiert-elle un code de conduite sur relatif aux bombardements aériens. [source: http://www.archipel.uqam.ca/3663/, site visité le 7 juin 2016]

___________The notion of Equity in the Determination of Maritime Boundaries and its Application to the Canada-United States Boundary in the Beaufort Sea, Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law, 2014;

Of the maritime boundaries yet to be delimited between Canada and the United States, the Beaufort Sea
might be the more pressing one, considering its strategic location in a rapidly developing Arctic region
and its vast economic potential. In accordance with the Law of the Sea Convention (UNCLOS),
maritime boundaries are to be delimited by agreement on the basis of international law as referred to in
Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, in order to reach an equitable solution.
When an agreement cannot be reached, parties can resort to third-party arbitration. While jurisprudence
has determined that international law does not mandate a particular method of delimitation, it requires
the consideration of equitable principles, also called special circumstances or factors. The notion of
equity is therefore the foundation of boundary determination. But, what is equity and how is it applied?
This thesis examines the various forms of equity, their origins in legal philosophy and domestic law
and how they have been incorporated in international law. The main focus, however, is to analyse the
differences between how international tribunals or courts have interpreted and applied equity in
boundary determination and how States have applied it in negotiated agreements. While tribunals have
tended to consider equitable principles as equivalent to geographical proportionality, States have
considered those principles more in keeping with the notion of distributive justice and, more and more,
are taking a globalised approach to boundary determination. On the basis of this analysis, this thesis
evaluates the potential outcome of a third-party arbitration of the Beaufort Sea boundary dispute between
Canada and the United States as well as the options for settlement negotiations between the Parties. In the
Beaufort Sea area where hydrocarbon development is intrinsically linked not only to the development of
the local population but also to the entire Arctic region, be it on issues related to the environment, navigation
or security, the thesis concludes that a third-party adjudication would not serve the interests of the States.
As delimiting boundaries nowadays is only one aspect of the management of oceans related issues, interests
are best served when delimitation is understood as part of this global approach.

"THE LEGAL IMPERATIVE
Personal experiences with members of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) branch, who were
completely anonymous to me, indicate that if our military force is going to avoid becoming
marginalized by other armies, the chain of command is going to have to come to terms with the
spin that our JAG branch puts on international laws and conventions. In Afghanistan, we had a
Strategic Targeting Policy that applied to the tactical objectives because exuberant JAG lawyers
argued that we could not allow Canada to become liable under international laws by actions
from the tactical level. In fact, the constraints and bureaucratic red-tape extended to all facets
of the operation. While we were arguing about the legal status of our CSIS representative,
whether or not he could wear a Canadian uniform or participate in military operations, the FBI,
CIA, and British operatives were fully engaged in Afghanistan.

I would argue that international law is sufficiently vague, outdated and often out of touch with
21st Century realities and inconsistent enough in terms of precedence to demand that our JAG
branch take a more pragmatic approach to operations. A Legal Officer actually told me that we
had to have a strategic targeting mechanism for tactical targets so as to avoid a situation such as
the aftermath of the crimes committed in Somalia where the Canadian Government was sued
by the families that suffered. Those claims were settled out of court, which in legal terms is a
form of avoidance and not an admission of guilt."(p. 14)

For more than a century, Mitchell v. The Queen has defined the Crown-soldier relationship: it is not
contractual. However, the Supreme Court of Canada in Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick ruled that all
public employment is to be viewed, with three exceptions, through the lens of contract. In this article,
the author presents several objections to Mitchell. He argues that Dunsmuir applies to the Crown-soldier
relationship, which possesses many hallmarks of a contract Dunsmuir also exposes some incoherence in
the Canadian Forces’ current employment framework. The article concludes that a fundamental
reassessment of the relationship is long overdue.[http://search.proquest.com/openview/087d0432ec99b

In a comparative context, this paper will examine the historic and current trends toward the civilianization of military justice
systems in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the United States respectively.  The paper will attempt to reconcile
whether the respective legal traditions of a chain of command-centric military justice system can adequately balance the
disciplinary requirements of an armed force while increasingly incorporating civilian criminal justice practices.  The paper
will conclude by arguing that those entrusted with thesuperintendence of the military justice system in these countriesmust
pay heed to the effect of civilianization while examining whether such changes serve the best interests of the armed forces.

Abstract : This historically based monograph uses a combination of primary and secondary sources, Canadian doctrine, and academic theory to explain
how the Somalia Affair has affected the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). It shows how tactical incidents in Somalia, during the UNITAF mission,
triggered a strategic crisis that was fundamentally mishandled by the extant strategic leadership, and then formed a catalyst for significant strategic
and institutional effects, which continue to impact the CAF to this day. It clearly demonstrates that the Somalia Affair ruptured Canadian civil-military
relations, adversely impacted the professional autonomy of the military, and forced an unprecedented evolution of the Canadian officer corps.

Following a detailed literature review, each element of the Affair is discussed, enabling observation of the leadership and ethical failings which
generated the strategic effects. Focus subsequently turns to the principle strategic effects and their continued impact on the CAF and the society it serves.
In conclusion, several implications are discussed.

OTTAWA -The legal advisor to the Canadian Forces’ Board of Inquiry into the possible exposure of
Canadian troops to toxic substances in Croatia between 1993 and 1995 has asked to be replaced as a
technical advisor to the Marsh Board.

"Lieutenant-Colonel Roger Strum came to me yesterday to discuss reservations he had regarding his
role as my legal advisor," said Colonel Howie Marsh, President of the Board.

Lieutenant-Colonel Strum considered his previous temporary duty in Calgary and his role as prosecutor
in the court martial of then-Naval Lieutenant Eric Smith, an individual who may be asked to provide
information to the Board. In light of the work plan for the Board, Strum could see the possibility of an
appearance of conflict.

Lieutenant-Colonel Strum is not a member of the Board in that the legal advisor’s role is to provide legal
counsel to the proceedings. His replacement will be named next week.

"This move will not have an impact on the proceedings of the Board as we are just getting organised and
we have not yet begun our actual work," said Marsh.

Abstract:

The members of the Canadian War Crimes Liaison Detachment – Far East travelled across the Pacific in April 1946 to participate in “minor” war
crimes trials in Hong Kong and Japan. The assignment stemmed from the harrowing experiences of the Winnipeg Grenadiers and Royal Rifles of
Canada in Hong Kong and Japan following the Japanese invasion in December 1941 through to their liberation from POW camps at the end of the
Pacific War. Literature pertaining to war crimes trials during this period focuses primarily on the Nuremberg and other European trials, or on the
major, often politicized Tokyo Trial. This dissertation addresses the frequently proffered recommendation in the literature that further explorations
into the “minor” trials of 5600 Japanese war criminals are needed. The members of the Canadian Detachment served as prosecutors at the American
operated Yokohama War Crimes Trials, as well as the British Hong Kong War Crimes Courts. Their cases covered the entirety of the POW experience,
from atrocities during battle and in the immediate aftermath, to brutal abuses and medical neglect in POW camps and exploitation in war-related
and dangerous labour. The Canadian trials were steeped in emerging and evolving legal concepts including issues of command responsibility and
superior orders, as well as the use of common or joint trials and broadly expanded rules of evidence. The uncertainty of trial outcomes and the leniency
of many of the sentences combined with the genuine effort extended by the Canadian Detachment members in investigation, case development, and in
the courtroom belie the crude and misguided application of a victors’ justice framework. Although the trials were not marked with a clear sense of
unfairness, their historical legacy has ultimately been a failure. When the international community sought answers to war crimes starting in the latter
half of the twentieth century, these trial records have been left to gather dust on archive shelves. However, the transcripts offer historians the opportunity
to better understand both the brutality and banality of the POW experience, and the legal community a series of pragmatic and thorough avenues for
addressing violations of the laws and customs of war. (source: https://uwspace.uwaterloo.ca/handle/10012/8051, accessed 19 June 2015)

___________Letters from Yokohama: Major John Dickey and the prosecution of Japanese Class ‘B’ and ‘C’ war crimes, thesis, M.A., Saint Mary's University, 2008, 186 p.;

Description: John Horace Dickey was a fourth generation Haligonian lawyer who, after serving on the domestic front with the Canadian Army travelled to
Japan as a part of the Canadian War Crimes Liaison Detachment - Far East. Dickey was involved in the prosecution of Japanese Class 'B' and 'C' war crimes
committed against Canadian soldiers that were captured after the fall of Hong Kong in December 1941. Class 'B' and 'C' or 'minor' war crimes consist of
traditional or conventional war crimes, "violations of the laws and customs of war," and crimes against humanity, "murder, extermination, enslavement,
deportation, and other inhumane acts.") These trials are important as they have been largely overlooked in favour of the Class 'A' trials, crimes against peace,
at Nuremberg and Tokyo, and also allow for an investigation of the experiences of individual soldiers involved in both sides of the conflict. This study will
broaden English language war crimes trials scholarship, and also make an addition to a growing body of historiography investigating Canadian involvement
in war crimes trials. While the political impetus for Canadian involvement has already been well developed, analysing the experiences of individual
prosecutors from a social history perspective allows for a better understanding of how the sentences and judgments were reached, and the context
that the trials themselves were undertaken. (source: http://primo-pmtna01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?ct=Next+Page&pag=nxt&pageNumberComingFrom

SYMONS, Ellen, "Under Fire: Canadian Women in Combat" (1990-1991) 4 Canadian Journal of Women and the Law 477-511;
"ABSTRACT
The author uses the history of women's participation in combat around the world and the evidence collected through the Canadian Forces'
own mixed unit military trials to refute the arguments offered in justification of the exclusion of women from combat roles in the military.
While the exclusion of women has, in a 1989 Canadian Human Rights tribunal decision, Gauthier v. Canadian Armed Forces, been
determined to violate principles of non-discrimination, Ellen Symons highlights three problems with the decision: the continued exclusion
of women from service on submarines, the use of an overly generous subjective test to determine whether occupational requirements are
bona fide, and an inadequate understanding of the impact of the exclusion on women individually and as a group. She concludes with a
call for the full integration of women into all of our institutions, including the military, as part of our commitment to women's political
participation and to our quest for a non-aggressive, egalitarian society."

[Research notes on R.C. Tait by François Lareau on 26 April and 2 October 2018:

1. In "Civil law, military court", The Globe and Mail, 5 June 1972, at p. 6, supra, this bibliography at http://www.lareau-law.ca/military.2C-D.html, he is stated:

Lt.-Col. R. C. Tait. Assistant Judge-Advocate-General and chief military legal authority for
Ontario, readily acknowledges that nothing supersedes the paramount authority of the civil
court.  But, he says, "since we have to carry the law with us overseas, we prefer to have the
authority at home, too".  We prefer, he says, "to wash our own linen."           



2. See also the article "The Court substitutes a lesser charge in woman soldier's drug conviction", The Globe and Mail, 2 October 1982, at p. 2; Standing court martial
of Private Karen Drew at CFB Greenwood and sentenced to 4 months for possession of 24 marihuana cigarettes for the purpose of trafficking; Court Martial
Appeal Court of Canada set aside the conviction and substituted a conviction for simple possession.  In the article, we can read:

In his appeal brief, Mr. Barnes [of the Court Martial Appeal Court] ] had also called the court martial a ''show trial.'' All Greenwood military
personnel suspected of drug use were ordered to be present during the court martial, he said, and this placed ''significant pressure'' on Lt.-Col.
R. C. Tait, president of the court, to convict Miss Drew ''upon the most tenuous of evidence.'' He acknowledged that merely sharing an illegal
drug with friends is technically trafficking under the Narcotic Control Act, but said this rarely results in such a charge in civilian courts.

He also said that because she is a woman Miss Drew was tried by a standing court martial and thus faced a maximum sentence of two years,
while a man would have faced a summary procedure and a maximum of three months. So in being imprisoned for four months, she served
one month longer than the maximum a man would have faced.]

Abstract

In the history of the Tokyo War Crimes Trial 1946–48, it is generally held that the United States was the dominating
presence: General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, not only convened the court,
but also openly insisted on an exoneration of the Japanese emperor; and American lawyers headed the prosecution
team and assumed much of the workload for the defence. However, government documents, including correspondence
from and to the participants, show that the Commonwealth governments exerted significant influence in many crucial
matters, such as the drafting of the indictment and the judgment of the court. This article questions the standard
emphasis on America's role and takes a fresh look at the relationship between the United States and the British
Commonwealth of Nations.

Abstract

      The purpose of this research was to examine the hypothesis that the military has a
distinct culture with traits that make it difficult and problematic for soldiers to effectively
communicate and cooperate with individuals in other cultural settings and in post-conflict
and peace support operations.  Most of the data for this research were acquired by
participating as a trainee in a twelve-day Civil-Military Cooperation Tactical Operator's
training session for Canadian Reserve Forcepersomel.

      CIMIC,or civil-military cooperation, attempts to straddle the divide between
civilian and military spheres of influence and as a result, lends itself to inconsistencies
and contradictions in both ideology and course expectations. The CMIC course, by its
content,methodology and choice of instructors,challenged traditional military cultural
attributes such as rank and hierarchy, group bonding, forceful conflict resolution, and
strict obedience. The trainees reacted to these challenges in various ways. but the
individuals most invested in traditional military culture had the most difficulty
incorporating CMIC norms and utilizing the new skills.

Pierrre Taschereau

TASCHEREAU, Pierre, 1920-2004, avocat, membre du Barreau du Québec; pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale, en 1944, il est devenu "avocat permanent de la poursuite près la Cour martiale", voir l'article "Au contentieux du Canadien national", L'Union des Cantons de L'Est, 3 janvier 1952, à la p. 4; disponible à http://collections.banq.qc.ca/ark:/52327/2687027 (consulté le 12 août 2018);






___________sur TASCHEREAU, Pierre, voir: Chronique par Raymond Deraspe (1735), "Le généalogiste juriste-- Pierre Taschereau, juriste et administrateur", disponible à https://www.sgq.qc.ca/images/_SGQ/R_LAncetre_plus_libre/G-J-TASCHEREAU-Pierre.pdf (consulté le 11 janvier 2019);

    Né à Québec au 77 de la rue d’Auteuil, tout près de la vieille rue Saint-Louis, le 13 janvier 1920, (puis, à compter de 1929, au
83, rue D’Auteuil, après le déménagement à Spencer Wood, devenu Bois-de-Coulonge, de son grand-père Caroll nommé lieutenant
gouverneur), Pierre Taschereau a été baptisé le surlendemain à la basilique Notre-Dame-de-Québec, sous les prénoms de Henri-Émile-
Pierre-Édouard, ayant pour marraine sa grand-mère paternelle qui signe avec son fils, le père de l’enfant , puis, Marguerite C. La Rue
et Marguerite Taschereau, ses tantes avant que n’en fasse autant son grand oncle célébrant, l’abbé Émile Dionne. Il fit ses études
secondaires au Collège des Jésuites du boulevard Saint-Cyrille (aujourd’hui René-Lévesque), à Québec. Il obtint une licence en
droit de l’Université Laval en 1941, année de son admission au barreau, après un stage à l’étude d’Alphonse Fournier, député de Hull,
qui, plus tard devint ministre fédéral des Travaux publics.  Depuis 1952, Pierre Taschereau a reçu un diplôme en « management training
course » de la Western University of Ontario, de London. Voilà ce que je sais quant à ses titres universitaires.


    En page B-5, Le Soleil, quotidien de Québec du 29 août 2004, parle de Pierre Taschereau dans un article de Marc Lestage intitulé :
Un « gamin de la rue d’Auteuil », suivi d’un sous-titre : qui a dirigé le CN, puis Air Canada!  La carrière professionnelle de Pierre
Taschereau a commencé chez le procureur général du Canada.  Le Canada étant en guerre, il a fait partie de l’armée qu’il a quittée
en 1946 avec le grade de capitaine. C’est là qu’il a œuvré dans une organisation vouée à la protection des personnes internées en
temps de guerre.  Responsable du service juridique du Canadien National, il accède à la vice-présidence.  Récemment, la chronique
hebdomadaire de John Kalbfleish dans The Gazette du dimanche 10 décembre 2006 rappelait que selon son bon jugement, il
avait alors fort justement apprécié une déclaration incendiaire de 1962 du président Donald Gordon amenant à conclure que des
francophones compétents pour être vice-président du CNR, cela n’existait pas. Quittant le CN, il exercera pour la firme Geoffrion,
Prud’homme. À la création de la Commission canadienne des Transports, il en assume la vice-présidence. Puis, retour au CN dont
il deviendra président. À la demande de Claude Taylor, président d’Air Canada qui l’a connu au travail, il assume la présidence
du conseil de cette société aérienne. Présidence perdue pour des raisons politiques, retrouvée à l’occasion d’un changement de
gouvernement. Pierre Taschereau a fait partie du conseil d’administration du Trust Royal, des Assurances Stanstead & Sherbrooke,
de Commercial Union of Canadian Holdings Ltd. et de Commercial Union Life Insurance of Canada.

    C’est à l’église du Sacré-Cœur d’Ottawa que le capitaine Pierre Taschereau (pour m’exprimer comme Le Droit, a épousé,le lundi
13 août 1945, Yseult Beaudry, fille majeure de Laurent Beaudry et de Jeanne De Varennes. M. Beaudry fut le témoin de sa fille;
Jacques Taschereau, frère cadet de Pierre, témoin du marié. Notaire, président de son ordre professionnel de 1990 à 1993, Jacques
Taschereau, conférencier recherché, a lui aussi cumulé de nombreux postes d’administrateur. Pierre Taschereau a laissé trois enfants
qui, comme leur mère, lui ont survécu : Paule, Laurent et François. Pierre Taschereau a été inhumé avec ses parents et son fils Jean,
mort accidentellement à l’âge de trois ans, au cimetière Belmont, partie ouest tout près de l’avenue Chapdelaine.

Recent Canadian military PoW doctrine has also been criticized for placing too much emphasis on old-fashioned
conventional warfare, at the expense of more-pressing scenarios involving being captured by terrorists and other rogue agents....

A revised Code of Conduct After Capture for Canadian soldiers was issued in 2013 to explicitly deal with terrorists and
criminal organizations, but only one of its 34 pages appears to deal with terrorism (the document released through an access
to information request was heavily censored).....

“Conduct after capture is a very real issue and Canadians should be aware of the risks our forces face,” says Christian Leuprecht,
 a political scientist at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ont. “Given the proximity of our forces to the front
lines in northern Iraq, any hostiles they encounter are unlikely to adhere to standard norms when it comes to a captured Canadian soldier.”

Their crime is to have violated Canada’s 1937 Foreign Enlistment Act, which prohibits Canadian citizens from volunteering to fight in
foreign wars against friendly nations.

To let our misplaced fear of Daesh cloud our judgement to the point that we would condone automatic death sentences for all these
individuals only serves to illustrate just how effective the Daesh terrorism campaign has been.

I admit that I raised the example of Lieutenant-General Armand Roy
deliberately, knowing it to be a sore point among the brass, and once
again the revelations struck the mark. As much as the officer corps wish
to believe that they are always simply the victims of media persecution,
the case of Armand Roy is a clear example to the contrary. Journalists
did not invent the allegations of fraud. In fact, it was none other than
Auditor General Denis Desautels who first began investigating Roy in
June 1995. Whistle-blowers on Roy’s staff had forwarded the damaging
evidence to the Auditor General when they learned he was claiming
unauthorized residence allowances to the tune of $3,000 a month. At
that time, Armand Roy held the position of Deputy Chief of Defence
Staff. In that capacity, ultimately all internal police investigations came
under his overall control. Although the Auditor General notified the
military’s Chief of Review Services about this matter, needless to say,
little emphasis was placed on the Roy investigation. Once the details of
Roy’s alleged transgressions were published in Tarnished Brass
in October of 1996, however, the military could no longer ignore the
situation.

By December of that year, enough evidence had been collected to publicly
pronounce Lieutenant-General Roy “guilty” of fraud. In a
quiet press release issued by the Department of National Defence
between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it was announced that Roy had
been “fired” and that he would be making restitution to the Crown of
some $100,000 in fudged expenses. Incredibly, the Canadian Forces
Judge Advocate General’s office claimed it did not have enough
evidence to lay criminal charges in the case. Despite this admission on
the part of the Judge Advocate General, Roy never once proclaimed
himself to be innocent, nor did he contest the firing or his obligation to
pay restitution to the Crown.

At about this same time, a sergeant based at Canadian Forces Base
Petawawa was court-martialled for having embezzled about $900 from
his unit’s canteen fund. Upon being found guilty, the sergeant was
sentenced to three months in the detention centre and discharged from
the military. As is the norm in such cases, the sergeant also had to for-
feit any pension other than a return of contributions.

It is difficult not to draw comparisons between these two cases. For the
rank and file, it clearly showed them once again that a double standard
exists in the military justice system.[pp. 131-132]

Lost in the media love affair is the fact that the Vandoos were directly responsible for three of the biggest black eyes the Canadian military
 received during the scandal-plagued 1990s. First, there was the release of a notorious hazing video depicting Vandoo paratroopers engaged
in public acts of drunkenness, nudity, defecation, feces-ingestion and simulated sodomy, all of which directly led to the 1995 disbandment of
the entire Canadian Airborne Regiment.

In another incident, in 1996 it was revealed that a large number of Vandoos had discredited themselves while guarding a mental hospital in Bakovici,
Bosnia. Among the allegations was that of an officer having sex with a female mental patient while his drunken troops shouted encouragement.
Despite internal police reports and evidence, the military brass had kept the lid on this scandal for three years. Subsequent investigations implicated
nearly three dozen Vandoos in the misconduct, but due to the expired statute of limitations, no charges were laid and no names of the accused were
released. As a result, the entire army was tarnished by the Bakovici scandal.

Later that same year, Lieutenant-General Armand Roy, the senior serving Vandoo, was dismissed from his post as the deputy chief of defence staff.
Publicly fired from the army, Roy was ordered to pay back more than $86,000 which he had allegedly misappropriated. As the most senior official
in Canada ever dismissed for theft, the rank and file were shell-shocked to learn that the Judge Advocate General would not press charges against the
disgraced general. The double standard of justice led to a collapse of faith in the military hierarchy and a top-to-bottom review of the military justice system.

------

One of the major lessons to be learned from the Somalia scandal is that the exercise of power, without the moderating influence of any ethical structure, public accountability
and continuous media scrutiny, cannot help but lead to a corruption of the basic principles of justice.  Under the present regime at DND, this philosophy of absolute power has
become a deeply entrenched religion, and it must be dismantled quickly.

The easiest way to begin the necessary recovery would be to civilianize the position of the judge advocate general.  At present, the JAG is a military officer charged with the
administration of the Canadian Forces justice system.  This task is in direct conflict with his day-to-day occupation of providing legal counsel to the minister, the deputy
minister and the chief of the defence staff.  To eliminate this conflict, the justice minister, not the chief of the defence staff, should select the individual to act as the military's
judge advocate general.
....
The anachchronistic system of summary trials is particularly susceptible to the influence of command bias.  As the system now exists, Canadian Forces personnel, are denied
both the fundamental right to counsel and a meaningful participation in the proceedings, despite the fact that the accused is often facing a significant punishment, including up
to a ninety-day incarceration in the military prison. (pp. 224-245; NOTE: the maximum incarceration has now been changed to a maximum of 30 days detention)

Selected Topics: Intro to 21st Century Strategy


This seminar course provides a survey of the prominent themes in conflict and war in the 21st century, incorporating the study
and application of theories from classical and contemporary strategic thinkers. These themes include fourth/fifth generation and
asymmetric warfare, such as terrorism, insurgency and counterinsurgency, chemical, biological, nuclear, and radiological (CBRN)
threats, cyber warfare, offensive technological developments in conventional and non-conventional weaponry, space-based
capabilities providing for force enhancement of the terrestrial conduct of war, and the role of intelligence (ISR). Course material
will include the application of strategic theories to geopolitical events; therefore, students are expected to be up to date on contemporary
global conflicts through review of media sources.

Title: NATO and Canadian Security and Defence


The NATO Field School starts at SFU-Burnaby with in-classroom learning via lectures and seminars about Canada’s security and defence policies,
the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).  Students will do in-depth reading on these topics and give
classroom presentations.  Students will learn from practitioners how CAF functions, how the Canadian government implements defence policy, and
how Canadian operations take place in the NATO context.  Learning will be supplemented by academics and foreign and military officers as guest
lecturers, and visits to Canadian Forces Bases in B.C.  Following the in-class program component students will be prepared to represent NATO nations
in simulations.  The Brussels component of the course involves one week of briefings and observations at NATO headquarters (including the Canadian
Joint Delegation), SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe) in Mons, and the Canadian Mission to the European Union.  This is followed
by a week in Rome at the NATO Defense College (NDC) where the SFU team will undertake 4-5 days of professional NATO simulation, using NDC
curriculum and the support of NDC staff. The Field School will receive briefings on a one-day trip to Joint Forces Command in Naples.  The final
component of the course involves students working independently on their final essay and Briefings Report.

[Lieutenant J. Lavallée's case and Major Louis MacKay, the JAG officer]

      Lieutenant J. Lavallée was a young platoon commander on his first peace-
keeping tour.  Like many of his fellow officers in the Vandoos, Lavallée saw
himself as a hard-drinking, hard fighting man, in a regiment that made his own
rules.  There was no agreed-upon zone of separation in the Krajina, and other
than in the Medak Pocket, the Serb and Croat belligerents still opposed each
other directly along the front-lines.  The new crop of UN peacekeepers, like
Calvin's 2 PPCLI before them, patrolled within the Serb zone and awaited the
top-level negotiators.  Only if a cease-fire was signed would Lessard's battalion
deploy into no man's land and establish a series of observation posts.  In the
meantime, the Vandoos set themselves up in platoon houses and established a
UN presence among the Serbs.  Lt. Lavallée enjoyed these road patrols which
were inevitably delayed at the various Serb checkpoints.  Armed with AK47s
and rocket launchers, the bored Serbian militiamen would often halt the Cana-
dian APCs simply to initiate "negotiations" with the foreign soldiers.  These ritu-
als, regardless of the time of day, involved a high volume of alcohol consump-
tion and tough talk.

      At one such extended session in a smoky bunker, Lavallée became visibly
inebriated on his Serb hosts' homemade plum brandy (Slivovitz).  As he began to
slur his speech and become unsteady on his feet, the Serbs pressed him with
more of the strong booze.  The young female translator grew increasingly alarmed
at both Lavallée's condition and his insistence that he would continue drinking
with his "new friends."

      She snuck outside to the APC and advised a master corporal of Lavallée's
drunken state.  The young NCO went to the bunker entrance where he engaged
Lavallée in a heated debate.  Egged on by his Serbian "friends", Lavallée sud-
denly leapt at the terrified soldier and proceeded to beat him to a bloody pulp on
the bunker floor.  Grinning drunkenly, Lavallée raised his arms in triumph, slurred,
"Now, I'll go," and then wobbled out into the night air.

      When news of the incident reached UN headquarters in Zagreb, Major Gen-
eral Arch MacInnis met with his top military lawyer.  The assistant judge advo-
cate general, Major Louis MacKay, told MacInnis that although the details re-
mained sketchy, he thought that a court martial was warranted.  A flurry of sen-
sitive phone calls took place between Zagreb and NDHQ, and MacInnis was
instrucrted to consult with LCol. Lessard.  When this conversation took place,
Lessard advised his contingent commander that he would deal with Lavallée
"in house."  The reason why Lessard rejected the idea of holding a court martial
was made clear: "He's one of my best officers." [pp. 147-148]

                                      Ce mémoire porte sur la crise d'octobre 1970, particulièrement sur l'instauration de l'état d'exception au Québec suite à deux enlèvements perpétrés par des membres du Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ).
                                      Par-delà la question de la lutte au terrorisme, l'état d'exception  déployée durant les événements est analysé dans son lien avec la crise politique et sociale sous-jacente aux événements d'octobre. Ce mémoire
                                      vise ainsi à analyser la relation qui peut s'établir entre le recours aux mesures d'exception par le gouvernement fédéral et la crise de légitimité du pouvoir de l'Etat engendrée par le mouvement indépendantiste québécois.

THOMAS, Maj (Ret) Charles Edmund, CD, MA, LLM

Born at Colchester, Es, on 19 March 1957; immigrated to Canada with his
family in 1959; married at Ottawa, Ontario, on 10 October 1998; died
unexpectedly at the Stratford General Hospital in Stratford, Ontario, on 10
October 2020.  Predeceased by his parents, the Rev Fr William Morley
House Thomas and Joyce Rose (Morgan) Thomas, and his elder brother,
Stephen Gregory Thomas.  Survived by his wife, Philippa Charmion
Chaplin-Thomas; his sisters Mary Cecilia Travis (Terrance) of North Buxton,
Ontario, and Madeleine Angela Duxbury (David) of Lasalle, Ontario;
his brother, Guy Vincent Thomas (Jan Saul) of Stratford; five nephews and
nieces; nine great-nephews and great-nieces; and many, many friends.
With 30 years of service in the Canadian Forces as a legal officer, Edmund
served with the Canadian garrison at Lahr, West Germany (1988–1991),
and deployed on operations to Bosnia (1995), Haiti (1997) and Afghanistan
(2008). Over the last 20 years of his military career, Edmund specialized in
defence at court martial, a vocation that took him to Regular Force and
Reserve units all over Canada and some overseas.

After retirement from the army, he practised criminal law with Legal Aid
Ontario and volunteered for the Association for the Defence of the Wrongly
Convicted (Innocence Canada).  At the time of his death, he was also studying
for a doctorate in law at the University of Western Ontario and brushing up his
German language skills. As well as learning, Edmund took great pleasure in
friendship, which he pursued in physical fitness activities, entertaining at home,
foreign travel, and most particularly through enjoyment of music. He loved
hiking and camping, even in the rain. At dinner parties, he was the enthusiastic
host reaching across the table to fill a guest’s glass. His fine singing voice did
justice to an extensive repertoire of murder ballads and selections learned from
Johnny Cash. Combining a kind heart with firm morality and razor wit, he was
the best of companions.

The funeral will be held at St. James’s Anglican Church in Stratford, at two
o’clock on Friday, 16 October 2020. Interment will be at the National Military
Cemetery in Ottawa when the pandemic eases and travel is safe again.

___________on THOMAS, L.E., see DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE, "The Thomas Report", 17 January 1997,  (series; Backgrounder; BG-97.006), available at http://web.archive.org/web/20020616143014/http://www.dnd.ca/eng/archive/1997/jan97/BG-97006EN.HTM; also available at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/webarchives/20071211042216/http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/newsroom/view_news_e.asp?id=934 (accessed 8 May 2017);

As early as May 1994, there were allegations of misconduct and poor performance by Canadian Forces personnel on assigned United Nations peacekeeping duties at the
Bakovici Hospital in Bosnia-Hercegovina. A Military Police investigation was launched immediately, but after two years, and numerous suspensions and re-openings,
it had still not reached any conclusions or closure.
....

Mr. Thomas concluded that, in order to ensure military police independence, military police should not be subordinate within the same chain of command they serve, and
that military police investigations should not have to compete with operational requirements for scarce resources. The quality review mechanisms failed to keep the
investigation on track and the structure of the military police organization and jurisdictional problems inhibited initiative, focus and a coordinated effort. A natural flow
of information to investigators is required and the role of the Judge Advocate General in the proactive sharing of information needs to be clarified. Policy should be
reformed so that it is simple, clear and focused. Finally, common sense, initiative, cooperation and leadership cannot be legislated. Restoring trust requires action and
a vision that is shared by all. The aim is to reinforce values and ethics in the military community in a publicly visible and effective way while eliminating the perception
of interference and favouritism.

 

Recommendations

Mr. Thomas made the following recommendations:

  • A vision for providing police services be developed in consultation with the community served that ensures the independence of the investigative process;
  • From that vision, policies, structures and processes be developed that demonstrate independence, fairness and impartiality;
  • Alternate policing options that are available from both within the Canadian Forces and the public domain, or a combination of both, be explored;
  • Aspects of the investigative process such as jurisdiction, priority setting and resources be examined; and
  • Periodic audits of review mechanisms and an oversight commission be considered to ensure systems function as intended and people are held accountable.

Conclusion

The military justice system has been under review. The Thomas Report is a keystone document contributing to the process. The Minister of National Defence has
accelerated the process with the creation of a Special Advisory Group on Military Justice and Police Investigative Services.

Description: The soldiers and officers, along with 10 others who have left the military, participated in abuse of patients, general drunkenness and one of them committed sexual misconduct with a patient, according to a military report released yesterday. Army commander Lt.-Gen. Maurice Baril told a news conference yesterday that soldiers are only human and can be driven to vile behavior by stress. In a day of more dirty laundry for the military, Baril published the report of a military board of inquiry into incidents at Bakovici mental hospital and a separate report by a retired RCMP officer who concluded there was a sloppy investigation, but no intentional cover-up.

___________"Commander may have tried coverup: memo", thestar.com, Toronto Star Archives, Toronto Star, 7 February 1997, p. A3; 

The memo was released on the eve of testimony from Col. Serge Labbe, who has been silent since he headed the Canadian Airborne Regiment's ill-fated 1993 mission to Somalia.

The memo, a legal review written in the summer of 1994 by Lt.-Col. Ken Watkin, said there was reason to question Labbe's investigation of the March 4 shooting and also his
``openness in reporting to higher headquarters.''

The Somalia inquiry has been probing allegations that Labbe and others in the chain of command tried to obscure or downplay events of March 4, when two Somalis were shot in the
back as they ran away from the Canadian compound in Belet Huen. One Somali died and the other was injured.

Description:   OTTAWA - The torture killing of a Somali teenager in 1993 was directly related to the military's failure to properly investigate the suspicious shooting death of
 another Somali two weeks earlier, a military police officer says. And Maj. Vincent Buonamici told the Somalia inquiry yesterday that top military officers conspired to obscure
the truth about what happened in Somalia and interfered with military police. Buonamici, who headed the investigation of the March 4, 1993 death of a Somali who was shot
while running away, irked the deputy chief of defence at the time, Vice-Adm. Larry Murray, by asking why there had been an ``inexplicable delay'' of five weeks in ordering
police to investigate the shooting. Murray is now the acting chief of defence staff. (source: © ProQuest LLC All rights reserved and http://primo-pmtna01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo

___________"Digging the dirt on Croatia ; Military mired in new scandal over troops and toxins", Toronto Star, Aug 1, 1999, p.1;

Description:   The investigation languished throughout the summer and into the fall. Then, on Nov. 3, CTV News reported that a book to be published the
next day alleged soldiers had been exposed to toxins in Croatia, and a warning memo had been removed from medical files. The Reform party raised the
matter in the House of Commons the same day, invoking the case of Matt Stopford, a very sick soldier who blamed his illness on his time in Croatia. With
Stopford looking on from the gallery, Defence Minister Art Eggleton told the Commons the matter was being investigated, and chastised Reform for trying
to exploit Stopford's illness. In a Feb. 2 report for the army chief, Capt. Shane Vahey concluded there was no concrete evidence anyone ordered the medical
memos stripped from files. The investigation did reveal that one soldier, Master Seaman Wade Kelloway, claimed it was a military lawyer - the assistant
judge advocate-general in Calgary - who had instructed that memos be removed. But Vahey said the legal officer had no recollection of such an order.
However, a check of the medical records of 153 soldiers found only three still had the warning memo on toxins attached. "This would indicate that memos
were removed from the files of soldiers who were in (the unit) after May '95," Vahey wrote.

Description: OTTAWA - The Somalia inquiry should be suspended so it doesn't prejudice the court-martial of former Canadian Airborne Regiment commander Carol Mathieu, the inquiry was told yesterday. ``There is only one protection available to Lt.-Col Mathieu in light of the Charter, in light of equity, in the light of fairness and natural justice,'' Mathieu's lawyer Raphael Schachter told the inquiry probing the Airborne's 1992-93 Somalia mission. ``That is that the commission adjourn, pending the resolution of the parallel criminal proceeding.'' Chief of Defence Staff Gen. John de Chastelain is obliged by military regulations to order a new court-martial for Mathieu, defence department spokesperson Capt. Conrad Bellehumeur said. But Defence Minister David Collenette has the authority to dispense with Mathieu's new trial, if the military's judge advocate-general advises him to do so.

Description: OTTAWA - The Canadian military's attempt to discharge a soldier who spoke out about the Somalia affair has been slammed by the Somalia inquiry as prejudicial, disturbing and contrary to the pursuit of truth. In a letter sent yesterday to Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Jean Boyle, the trio of Somalia inquiry commissioners headed by Mr. Justice Gilles Letourneau asked Boyle to suspend the administrative action against Corp. Michel Purnelle, who faces dismissal from the military. ``In our view, the procedures adopted for proceeding against Corporal Purnelle are prejudicial to the public interest in the effective pursuit of the truth in our inquiry,'' the Somalia commissioners wrote.

He [Peter MacKay] says his time as a cabinet minister and having the opportunity to work with top attorneys general around the world has also made him a better lawyer. “Every life experience is cumulative. You’re gaining perspective, you’re seeing things through others’ eyes. Being at the Department of Justice has very much impacted on how I would conduct myself as a lawyer. As did time at the Department of National Defence and exposure to the Judge Advocate General’s office and rules of engagement. Before that, at the Department of Foreign Affairs, and seeing how lawyers in other parts of the world play a role in the life of their countries.”

ABSTRACT
This study examines the evolution of Canadian defence organization and administration from the integration and unification
of the Canadian Forces, starting with the arrival of Paul Hellyer as Minister of National Defence in 1963, to the full integration
of military and civilian staffs at National Defence Headquarters in 1972.  It seeks to understand the underlying defence management
philosophy by explaining the evolving decision making process and how and why certain management techniques and organizational
concepts came to be embodied in the policy process.  The goal of this work is to gain insight into not only the management of
defence but its relationship to, and place within, general organization and management theory. The idea of rationalizing the business
of defence lies at the heart of the history of the reorganizations in the 1960s and early 1970s. Management and organization were
arranged to allow defence decision making to become a more rational process, characterized by new degrees of control, in order to
aid the overall effectiveness of the policy-making process. Overall,there existed a progression of administrative and management
rationalization that had been occurring not only in the post-Second World War era, but since the turn of the century, both within and
without the public sphere. While there was much to be critical about unification and the general defence policy vision of Hellyer,
the evolution and development of modern management techniques in defence during the 1960s can largely be situated within an
ongoing history of bureaucratization and management evolution of large scale organizations in general and military organizations in particular.

Abstract
This thesis considers the challenges faced by international criminal tribunals in gaining physical jurisdiction over those persons indicted for the commission of war crimes,
crimes against humanity and genocide. The thesis covers the need for justice for victims of such crimes, the history of the laws of war, war crimes and their prosecution,
the need for an interdiction instrument, the legal basis for acting with force to arrest indictees, the use of military force to effect such arrests, and some of the various
political and practical issues that arise in such use of force. I sought out first hand quotes and stories contained in various media sources, books and court transcripts to
lend a voice to the victims. Substantiating the requirement for justice, I researched the written works and oral texts of academics, politicians, jurists, and senior military
commanders, who have experienced firsthand the difficulties in preventing atrocities and prosecuting accused. To concisely discuss the history of the laws of war,
I studied various academic works on the conduct of war including the writings of various history, religious and legal academics, as well as several primary source
documents, including religious texts. In considering current international tribunals, I relied on treaty and customary international law documents, United Nations'
documentation, and the current tribunals' statutes. The case law on extraterritorial detention of accused was found in trial and appellate court decisions from the United
States, United Kingdom, South Africa, Israel and the ICTY. The thesis concludes that current international tribunals lack necessary mechanisms for enforcing indictments
and thus ensuring that accused are brought before the courts' jurisdiction. In light of this inadequacy, a practical mechanism is needed to effect the interdiction and arrest
of indictees for current and future international criminal tribunals. In conclusion, the use of military force to secure the detention and delivery of accused before the
jurisdiction of issuing courts can be justified and should be utilized when other options have failed to effect with celerity, the accused's arrest.

2.1.4 Canadian Forces Military Law Centre (CFMLC)
The Canadian Forces Military Law Centre (CFMLC) functions as the military legal education and training
centre for the CF. It is a joint effort of CDA and the Office of the Judge Advocate General (JAG). Its mandate
includes providing legal education and training materials and services to military members to prepare them
for legal challenges they may confront in current and future operations. The CFMLC provides legal research,
education, and training to the CF. Research often focuses on military justice and law. Its efforts are aimed at
enhancing discipline across the CF and ensuring that the CF can carry out current and future missions in
accordance with all applicable domestic and international laws. We were unable to speak to a SME instructor
from CFMLC to discuss education and training efforts with respect to moral and ethical decision making in
operational contexts. (p, 15)

THORBURN, Mark Allen, The 1838-1839 courts-martial of patriotes in Lower Canada : were they "constitutional"?, thesis for degree Master of Arts in the Faculty of Graduate Studies (History), University of British Columbia, August 1996, vi, 77 leaves; available at  https://open.library.ubc.ca/media/download/pdf/831/1.0058178/2 (accessed 5 October 2016);
Abstract

The thesis primarily examines the legality of the courtsmartial that followed the 1838-1839 rebellion in
Lower Canada against the contemporary principles of British jurisprudence and concludes that Sir John
Colborne, the acting governor of the colony, and others within the governing political elite of Lower Canada
exceeded their authority and violated the British Constitution in order to obtain convictions and executions
of Patriotes for the purpose of satisfying their perception of justice and to deter another rebellion. The paper
also concludes that what happened in Lower Canada is an example of the "law" being created by one or more
of society's segments in favour of the interest of the dominant class or groups over the rest of society.
Furthermore, fundamental legal rights are tossed aside when they are deemed an impediment by the dominant
class or groups and the rule of law will only prevail when those in authority feel secure from serious threats.
The work looks at the nature of law, its social contexts, and its relationship to power. It also discusses the
history of the prohibition in Great Britain against the court-martial of civilians, the entitlement of British
colonists and the inhabitants of "conquered colonies" to the legal rights of British subjects, and the use of
ourts-martial in the early nineteenth century in Upper Canada, South Africa, and the British Caribbean. All

Résumé

Les déserteurs et les volontaires sont des acteurs de l’histoire québécoise qui ne sont pas toujours évidents à étudier. Tant de mythistoires entourent ces deux personnages
qui symbolisent avant tout deux attitudes et comportements antagonistes lors de conflits militaires ! Au Québec francophone, les déserteurs et les volontaires des guerres
mondiales sont toutefois devenus des protagonistes qui représentent bien davantage qu’un endossement ou un refus du service aux armes. L’objectif de cette thèse est de
comprendre les valeurs multiples et changeantes qu’incarnent ces deux figures au sein du grand récit collectif et des petits récits qui marquent l’imaginaire de la communauté
québécoise. En effet, depuis la Guerre des Boers en Afrique du Sud, l’envoi de troupes à l’extérieur du Canada est une occasion pour la société d’évaluer ses allégeances
et de discuter son parcours historique, ses origines et son destin. Ainsi, nous partons du constat selon lequel les représentations des déserteurs et des volontaires, qu’elles
soient historiographiques ou fictionnelles, ne sont pas formulées dans le vide. Elles s’insèrent dans différentes strates narratives que nous devons dégager. Ce sont donc
trois niveaux historiaux qui nous intéressent dans le cadre de cette thèse : la configuration narrative de l’expérience historique québécoise, la mise en scène des guerres
mondiales au sein de ces récits collectifs et, enfin, les intrigues où figurent les déserteurs et les volontaires. Ces mondes narratifs ne sont bien sûr pas statiques et isolés,
mais, au contraire, évoluent en permanence, se côtoient et se confondent dans des discours aussi différents que la fiction et l’historiographie. Nous avons choisi d’étudier
des romans et des pièces de théâtre, car la fiction est le seul domaine où les représentations des volontaires et des déserteurs se côtoient et deviennent ainsi comparables.
Une analyse de la configuration narrative nous disposera à établir un tableau de différents leitmotifs qui définissent les deux acteurs et à comprendre leur fonction dans
la représentation des guerres mondiales. Nous pouvons alors saisir les évolutions complexes et subtiles du grand récit historique québécois et ainsi dégager une perspective
nouvelle sur la négociation jamais achevée des références identitaires de la communauté. (Source: http://www.histoirequebec.chaire.ulaval.ca/tag/florence-tilch/,

of Lieutenant Colonel.

Following his retirement from the military Mr. Tinsley entered the private practice of law as a criminal defence counsel. On January 1, 1999, Mr. Tinsley was appointed by the
Government of Ontario to a five year term as the Director of the province’s Special Investigations Unit. Following that appointment and commencing in 2003 Mr. Tinsley served
as an international prosecutor in the former Yugoslavia, first with the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo and then in the newly created Special War Crimes
Department of the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In December 2005 Mr. Tinsley returned to Canada to accept an appointment by the Government of Canada to a four year
term as the Chairperson of the Military Police Complaints Commission. During this period he also served as the President of the Canadian Association of Civilian Oversight of
Law Enforcement. Mr. Tinsley is now the Executive Director of the Institute for Justice Sector Development, a non government organization created to assist nations whose justice
systems are in transition and donor states in the creation and implementation of assistance programs.  In the professional context, Mr. Tinsley has spoken frequently, both within
Canada and internationally, on matters related to the Rule of Law and civilian oversight of security forces. Such presentations have been made in Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador,
Cuba, Romania, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Portugal and, most recently for the United Nations Development Program Iraq and the State Government of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

This provocative documentary uncovers a lost chapter in Canadian military history: how the Armed Forces dealt with homosexual
behaviour among soldiers, during and after World War II. More than 60 years later, a group of five veterans, barely adults when they
enlisted, break the silence to talk about how homosexual behaviour "was even more unmentionable than cancer." Yet amidst the
brutality of war, instances of sexual awakening among soldiers and officers were occuring. Initially, the Army overlooked it, but as
the war advanced, they began to crack down: military tribunals, threats of imprisonment, discharge and public exposure. After the
war, officers accused of homosexuality were discharged. Back home in Canada, reputations and careers were ruined. For the young
men who had served their country with valour, this final chapter was often too much to bear. Based on the book Courting Homosexuals
in the Military by Paul Jackson.

Abstract: The study has been written with the objective of elucidating the significance of Canada's military capacity in the realization
of Canada's maritime jurisdictional claims. It is concerned with Canada's ability to impose control upon foreign nationals who are
obeying the will of their own governments. Accordingly the account considers the possibility of unilateral action to directly achieve
the objectives. But when that is shown to be largely inappropriate, attention is turned to the means of bringing about a change in
the attitudes of foreign governments. In this respect the study is essentially confined to the place of the military in achieving such
alterations.

[Abstract]
Since the beginning of the history of aviation, the use of aircraft for military purposes
revealed an efficient and dangerous weapon in the arsenal of a State. First it was used
as observatory post, and then the aircraft took a more active role in combat until it
became a destructive and deadly weapon. The definition of military aircraft in
international law is not clear as States only wish to regulate international civil
air navigation and not state aircraft. On the other hand, the 
defines the status of every aircraft with their respective duties and rights in the
conduct of hostilities. The interception of civil aircraft by military aircraft shall
be done in accordance with the international standards adopted by the International
Civil Aviation Organization in virtue of the Chicago Convention and it's limited to
determine the identity of the aircraft. The use of deadly force against civilian
aircraft in flight is equivalent of pronouncing the death sentence of its occupants
without the hearing of a trial. Respecting the international standards of interception
of civil aircraft is a necessity. [Source: AMICUS catalogue, Library and Archives Canada]

Click to enlarge

Lawyer, judge.

Born at London, England on 14 November 1901, he emigrated to Canada with his family in 1911, settling at Dauphin where he received his early education. He studied law with Frank E. Simpson and at the Manitoba Law School and, following graduation, articled with the Winnipeg law firm known later as Aikins, MacAulay & Thorvaldson. In 1940 he joined the Armed Forces, first training with the infantry and later transferring to the Judge Advocate General’s Branch. He served as Corps and Army Headquarters in Europe and was awarded the Order of the British Empire, ending his military career with the rank of Colonel in 1945.

Following the war, he rejoined his former firm and was made a King’s Counsel in 1947. He was appointed a Justice of the Court of King’s Bench in 1952 and was raised to the Court of Appeal in 1957, becoming Chief Justice in 1962, holding that position until his retirement in 1973. He also served as a Bencher of the Law Society of Manitoba (1951-1952). In 1979, he chaired an inquiry into the operations of Manitoba Hydro which found that improper planning, coupled with government interference, had cost the public millions of dollars.

He was one of the founding trustees of the Fort Whyte Nature Centre, supporter of the Western Canadian Aviation Museum, and founding board member of the Manitoba Centennial Corporation. He served as Chairman of the Board of the St. Paul’s High School. His hobby was flying small aircraft and he was an Honorary Life Member of the Manitoba Club.

He died at Winnipeg, unmarried, on 16 April 1993.

Abstract(s)
Cette étude a pour but de démontrer l'attitude paradoxale du gouvernement canadien relativement à sa politique visant
l'impunité dans le traitement des criminels de guerre. Dans les faits, il appert qu'il s'abstient de punir ces criminels en
vertu du droit criminel et les soumet plutôt aux procédures d'immigration et de citoyenneté qui permettent leur déportation
et leur dénaturalisation. Cette étude propose une revue de l'historique menant à l'adoption par le gouvernement fédéral
de la politique d'impunité des criminels de guerre. Elle comprendra l'état de la politique à la suite de la Seconde Guerre
mondiale, le rapport de la Commission Deschênes, de même que le changement de stratégie adoptée par le gouvernement
à la suite de la décision dans l'affaire Finta. Par la suite, une étude comparée du droit de l'immigration, de la citoyenneté
et du droit criminel sera de mise afin de cibler les différences dans les processus de traitement des criminels de guerre.
Nous constaterons alors pourquoi il est plus facile pour le gouvernement de traiter les criminels de guerre en vertu du
droit de l'immigration et de la citoyenneté, et nous serons alors en mesure d'évaluer les consternantes conséquences de ce choix.
 
The main goal of this study is to demonstrate the paradoxal behavior of the Canadian government regarding its impunity
policy towards the treatment of war criminals. In reality, it appears that the Canadian government does not choose to punish
them using criminal law processes but uses the immigration and citizenship laws instead, therefore enabling deportation and
denaturalization of these criminals. This study proposes an historical review that leads to the Canadian government's choice
of using impunity as a general policy towards war criminals. The review will present the state of this policy in the aftermath
of World War II, the Deschênes Commission report, and final1y, the strategy change made by the federal govemment
fol1owing the juridical decision made in the Finta case. For the last part, it seems appropriate to present a comparative study
between immigration, citizenship and criminal laws. This comparative exercice will target the main differences between
those different processes of war criminal treatments.  By doing so, we will be able to assess with more accuracy negative
consequences of this particular choice.

Abstract
Torture, no matter how it is conceived is not an uncommon phenomenon (see, for example, Amnesty International,
1998, 1999). Extant conceptions of perpetrators of torture are rooted in a bipolar framework that can trace its origins
to attempts to understand the Nazi Holocaust of World War II. This literature has serious limitations in cases where
individuals torture in the absence of a bureaucratic machine that orchestrates large-scale, sustained attacks against
an 'enemy' group.  There is a segment of the perpetrator population absent from the literature. The theoretical constructs
to deal with their actions do not exist. The concept of Independent torturers is developed in this thesis, in order to assist
in this goal.  Independent Torturers (ITs) represent a partial hybridisation of the characteristics commonly attributed to
the polar categories of leaders and followers, the constituent elements of the bureaucratic torture engine. In addition, a
process of internalisation and localisation of positional authority, and the development of impunity beliefs are presented
as theorised precursors to IT emergence. Using legal definitions of torture, the idea that many of the episodes of criminal
assault we witness in our everyday surroundings actually constitute episodes of independent torture is presented. The specific
case of the torture-murder of Shidane Arone by soldiers of the 2 Commando of the Canadian Airborne Regiment (CAR) is
explored as an example of the uses to which these novel theoretical concepts can be put.  A combination of social-psychological
and organisational factors are necessary to theorise independent torture. This thesis marks the preliminary phase of a
multidimensional theoretical and empirical approach to the study of independent torture.

Summary

The present report focuses on the administration of justice through military tribunals. In many countries, the use of military tribunals
raises serious concerns in terms of access to justice, impunity for past human rights abuses perpetrated by military regimes, the independence
and impartiality of the judiciary and respect for fair trial guarantees for the defendant.

The report focuses on four issues of concern, namely: (a) the independence and impartiality of military tribunals; (b) the personal
jurisdiction of military tribunals, including the question of investigation and prosecution of civilians; (c) the subject-matter
jurisdiction of military tribunals, including the question of investigation and prosecution of serious human rights violations
allegedly perpetrated by military personnel; and (d) fair trial guarantees in proceedings before
military tribunals.

The Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers addresses these concerns and proposes a number
of solutions that are premised on the view that the jurisdiction of military tribunals should be restricted to offences of
a military nature committed by military personnel. States that establish military justice systems should aim to guarantee
the independence and impartiality of military tribunals, as well as the exercise and enjoyment of a number of human rights,
including the right to a fair trial and the right to an effective remedy. The present report is based on an analysis of
international and regional human rights instruments, the jurisprudence of international and regional human rights
mechanisms and responses received to a questionnaire on military justice.

of a law enforcement and criminal justice approach to countering terrorism, which is based on human rights compliant arrest and
detention over the killing of a suspect. The speakers focused on the role of the military in evidence collection for the investigation
and prosecution of terrorists who commit terrorist acts in conflict zones.

The commission of sexual offences by UN peacekeepers, whether military, police or civilian, sadly remains a recurrent matter of concern, despite the
UN’s long embrace of a “zero tolerance” policy. As part of last week’s annual conference of the Canadian Council on International Law, the
Office of the Judge Advocate General of the Canadian Armed Forces organized a panel discussion on sexual exploitation and abuse by UN
 peacekeepers, extending an invitation to the Faculty of Law’s Professor Joanna Harrington to contribute a non-governmental perspective to the panel.

Chaired by Colonel Rob Holman, Deputy Judge Advocate General Military Justice, the conference panel also included Major Patricia Beh, Legal Officer
in the JAG’s Directorate of Law/Military Justice Strategic division, and Anne Burgess, Director of the Peace Operations Stabilization and Conflict Policy
division at Global Affairs Canada. The panel considered various mechanisms for securing accountability and more robust victim assistance, as well as the
legal challenges posed by issues of jurisdiction, extraterritoriality, and immunity.

UPCOMING LEGAL BRANCH CENTENNIAL / Le centenaire de la Branche des services juridiques qui s'en vient (courriel de Benoit Pinsonneault, 28 juin 2017);


 
 

Centenaire de la Branche des services juridiques :
le compte à rebours est lancé!

 

Le 28 février 2018, la Branche des services juridiques des Forces armées canadiennes célébrera ses cent années au service du Canada.

 

Depuis sa constitution, la Branche des services juridiques s’est méritée une réputation enviable due à la grande qualité de son offre de services axés sur les solutions aux Forces canadiennes (FC),
et ce, tant au pays qu’à l’étranger. Au cours de ce fier siècle d’histoire, la Branche a fourni une grande variété de services juridiques à l’appui des opérations et d’autres activités des FC, promouvant
ainsi le respect de la règle de droit dans leur exécution. La Branche des services juridiques a conseillé et appuyé la chaîne de commandement lors d’événements marquants de l’histoire canadienne
et de celle des FC. Elle est également prête à affronter les défis à venir, appuyée d’une équipe exceptionnelle de militaires et d’employés civils.

 

Pour souligner son centenaire, la Branche des services juridiques sera l’hôte de diverses activités d’ici au 28 février 2018, ainsi qu’au-delà. Plusieurs d’entre elles auront lieu à Ottawa entre le 26
février et le 2 mars 2018, coïncidant avec la tenue du colloque annuel de formation juridique permanente.

 

Les principales activités du Centenaire seront les suivantes :

 

·        Concours de l’estampe du Centenaire : la Branche invitera ses membres à soumettre des créations artistiques originales célébrant cet anniversaire; des reproductions de l’œuvre
         gagnante seront offertes à la vente.

 

·        Événement de lancement : le 28 février 2018, la Branche lancera officiellement les activités célébrant son centenaire. Une cérémonie, au cours de laquelle sera notamment dévoilée
         l’œuvre gagnante, sera tenue à cette fin.

 

·        Gala du Centenaire : le Gala se tiendra au Centre Shaw au cours de la soirée du 1er mars 2018. Il permettra aux membres des FAC et à d’anciens membres, ainsi qu’à des invités de
          marque, de célébrer avec style le centenaire de la Branche.

 

·        Tribune libre : la Branche des services juridiques tiendra une série de tribunes libres interactives, au cours desquelles des membres – actuels ou anciens – de notre équipe offriront
         leurs perspectives concernant la manière dont les défis et les succès passés de la Branche définissent son présent et influencent son avenir.

 

·        Marche de Nimègue : sous réserve d’approbation, la Branche mettra sur pied une équipe de volontaires souhaitant participer à cette marche de quatre jours aux Pays-Bas.
         Il s’agirait d’une première opportunité de participation à la Marche de Nimègue pour une équipe représentant la Branche des services juridiques.

 

·        Activités des services régionaux : Des activités, visant notamment l’engagement et la mobilisation des partenaires locaux, seront organisées d’un bout à l’autre du pays sous
         le leadership des divers JAGA.

 

De plus amples renseignements concernant ces activités seront divulgués au fur et à mesure de leur planification.

 

À l’aube d’une période passionnante d’activités célébrant un jalon important de l’histoire de la Branche des services juridiques, votre support et votre participation sont appréciés. Fiat justitia !


 

 

Fiers de notre passé – Engagés dans le présent – Tournés ver l’avenir

 

_______________________________________

The countdown is on to the Legal Branch Centennial!

 

On 28 February 2018, the Canadian Armed Forces Legal Branch will celebrate 100 years of service to Canada.

 

Since its establishment, the Legal Branch has earned a sterling reputation by delivering high quality, solution oriented legal services in support of the Canadian Forces (CF) , both at home and
abroad. Throughout its proud 100 year history, the Legal Branch has provided all manner of legal support to CF operations and other activities, promoting their execution in accordance with
the rule of law. The Legal Branch has advised and supported the Chain of Command through many challenging times in the Canada’s, and the CF’s, history and it will continue to meet future
challenges head-on, thanks to its exceptional team of military members and civilian employees.

 

To mark its centennial, the Legal Branch will be hosting a diverse range of programs and activities leading up to and beyond 28 February 2018, many of which will occur during the annual
continuing legal education (CLE) symposium, running from 26 February to 2 March 2018, in Ottawa.

 

As planning continues, more details will follow, but the key centennial activities will be:

 

·        Art Contest and Centennial Print: The Legal Branch will invite its members to submit an original design for the commission of a centennial print; reprints of the winning design
          will be offered for sale

 

·        Launch Event: On 28 February 2018, the Legal Branch will officially launch the centennial activities during the week of the CLE with a gathering, during which the winning art
         piece will be unveiled.

 

·        Centennial Gala: Held at the Shaw Centre on the evening of 1 March 2018, the Gala will allow for current and former CAF members, along with honoured guests, to celebrate
          the Branch’s centennial in style.

 

·        Speakers’ Corner presentations: The Legal Branch will hold a series of interactive speaking activities, during which past and present members of the Legal Branch will highlight
         past challenges and successes of the Branch, and apply these insights to present and future challenges.

 

·        Nijmegen March: Subject to approval, the Legal Branch will assemble a team of volunteers to undertake the four day march in the Netherlands.  This would mark the first time
         that a team representing the Legal Branch will undertake the Nijmegen March.

 

·        Regional Services Activities: Activities are set to take place around the country, engaging local stakeholders and guided by the various AJAGs.

 

Your support of, and participation in, these exciting activities over the coming months is appreciated as we collectively celebrate this Legal Branch’s significant milestone. Fiat justitia!

VAILLANCOURT, Pierre-Antoine, "Hot Pursuit: Moyen dépassé pour assurer le respect des normes dans les eaux d'un État côtier?", (2014) 27(1) Revue québécoise de droit international 143-; disponible à http://www.sqdi.org/wp-content/uploads/RQDI_27-1_6_Vaillancourt.pdf (vérifié 16 novembre 2015);

La Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer (CNUDM) octroie aux États côtiers de nombreux droits et responsabilités dans les eaux adjacentes
à leur territoire. Pour assurer le respect de ces normes, un droit de poursuite a été prévu. Ce droit de poursuite, datant de plusieurs centaines d’années, a été
intégré dans la convention en fonction des technologies de l’époque. Cependant, parmi les critères qui encadrent ce droit, on y retrouve deux obligations
problématiques : l’obligation de signaler le début de la poursuite et l’obligation du caractère continu de la poursuite. De plus, les dispositions relatives à ces
obligations sont rédigées de telle sorte qu’intégrer l’usage de nouvelles technologies est presque impossible. Donc, la pertinence de ce droit de poursuite dépend
de sa capacité d’adaptation. C’est pourquoi une interprétation large ou une modification des dispositions pertinentes de la CNUDM est nécessaire.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) defines the rights and responsibilities of coastal States with respect to adjacent waters.
To ensure compliance with these standards, the right of hot pursuit was devised. Dating back hundreds of years and reflecting the technology available at
the time of its ratification, the right of hot pursuit was incorporated into the Convention. However, two of its requirements have proven problematic: the
duty to report the start of the pursuit and the continuous nature of the pursuit.  The provisions relating to these obligations are also drafted in such a way
as to make it nearly impossible to account for the use of new technologies. The relevance of the right of hot pursuit thus depends on its ability to adapt.
Hence, a broader interpretation or amendment of the pertinent provisions of the UNCLOS is required.

groupe et d'obtenir l'indemnité qu'ils sont en droit de recevoir.»

Les trois autres recours ont été déposés à Ottawa, Toronto et Halifax. Les cabinets respectifs sur ces affaires sont Raven, Cameron, Ballantyne &

« Si je pouvais la décrire en une seule phrase, je dirais que c’est une « Dame de Cœur », dans le bon sens de l’expression », dit Me
Pascal Lévesque, de chez Fradette Le Bel avocats, Chicoutimi, un spécialiste des questions militaires.

[...]

« Trois aspects majeurs » l’amènent à cette conclusion. D’abord, ses qualités de juriste hors pair, notamment lors d’opérations des
FAC à l’étranger, que ce soit au Kosovo ou plus récemment en Afghanistan et en Libye. « C’est une spécialiste des questions de
sécurité nationale et de cyberconflits. Elle a d’ailleurs co-rédigé le Manuel de Tallinn, premier guide international sur les questions
 juridiques que soulève la cyberguerre. »

Me Bernatchez a par ailleurs des compétences exceptionnelles en gestion des ressources humaines, estime Pascal Lévesque : « elle
a la réputation de faire preuve d’un leadership sensé et juste. Consciente des réalités de l’environnement militaire, des exigences de
la mission et des besoins de l’organisation, elle est reconnue pour son côté profondément humain. »

Enfin, dit Me Lévesque, c’est une femme forte. « Tout au long de sa carrière, elle a conjugué les joies et les aléas d’un parcours
professionnel riche, sa vie de couple et de famille. Ce qui lui permet de prendre toute la mesure des défis que vivent les militaires ayant
eux aussi à maintenir l’équilibre travail-famille. »

___________"The Last Round? A Post-Gotovina Reassessment of the Legality of Using Artillery Against Built-up Areas",  (April 2013) 18(1) Journal of Conflict & Security Law 25-57;

Abstract

Artillery has been a staple of siege warfare for centuries as a cheap and effective weapon against area and point targets; however, its legality under the
rules of International Humanitarian Law may be changing. The recent Ante Gotovina case at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) reflects an evolving line of jurisprudence that could result in a global reassessment of the legal norms for using artillery against targets located in
urban areas. Thus far, commentators have criticized the Gotovina trial judgement on the basis that the law should conform to the technical limitations of
artillery, but this article proposes that if basic artillery cannot conform to the standards of accuracy required under IHL, then it should not be paired to
targets in urban areas. At a minimum, if after a calculation of probable errors of the fall of shot, the margin of error lies outside of that accepted by
international tribunals, then a decision to nonetheless engage the urban target may rise to the standard of recklessness and result in possible criminal liability
for the commander. In a 3-2 majority decision, the ICTY Appeals Chamber overturned the Trial Chamber decision in Gotovina, but did not articulate what
legal standard it applied in doing so. The result muddies the legal waters as it pertains to artillery and exposes a deep divide in the application of the law
by international criminal tribunals.

___________"Open Seas, Open Season: The Impending Challenge of Regulating Circumpolar Shipping in the High Arctic",  (May 2012). Canadian Bar Association, 2011-2012 National Environmental, Energy and Natural Resources Law Essay Contest. Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2174073;

Abstract

Buttressed by compelling scientific research on unprecedented polar ice decline, there will be a strong business case for the economic viability of
a circumpolar trading route within the next 40 years. Given the environmental deterioration associated with other high traffic sea routes, and the
distinct problem this pollution would pose in the high Arctic given its semi-enclosed fragile ecosystem, this paper provides an overview of the
capabilities and limitations for forestalling environmental damage inherent in the existing regulatory framework. Particular reference is made to
the jurisdictional complexities of the circumpolar route’s transnational and, at times, purely international character. Ultimately, a multifaceted legal
framework is required for successful Arctic environmental governance. Such a framework would include coordination at the global, regional and
national levels. Regionally, the Arctic Council and its sub components provide a standing collaborative forum that serves as a catalyst for action at
the national and global levels. National governments should enhance and harmonize their enforcement presence, surveillance and Arctic environmental
policies. Globally, an emerging mandatory international regulatory regime is needed that includes not only the anticipated Polar Code for shipping and
other regulatory requirements for Flag States, but also one that makes full use of Port State controls along the lines of the Paris MOU. A balanced legal
approach would also identify those particularly delicate areas that shipping must be made to transit under stricter standards .or avoid altogether. Ideally,
this regime will continue to evolve over time, but inherent within the existing legal architecture can be found the twin pillars for successful enforcement.
First, the enforcement of soft law conventions like MARPOL 73/78 and the London Dumping Convention can be accomplished by harnessing the
authority of Port and Flag States. Second, the encirclement of the Arctic Ocean by pollution enforcement zones of the Arctic states means that hard law
national regulatory measures are available at several points along the circumpolar route. The enforcement of environmental standards cannot achieve
full efficacy absent systematic surveillance and monitoring within the Arctic Ocean. For this reason, this paper proposes the coordination of surveillance
and national vessel traffic management systems in the Arctic for violation detection and reporting.

Col. Paul Scagnetti pleaded guilty Tuesday to negligently discharging his rifle -- specifically, of "conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline" --
 during a security exercise in Afghanistan last May.

Scagnetti most recently served with 31 Canadian Brigade, based in London. A 30-year reservist who also commanded 33 Brigade Group, Scagnetti was
 fined $2,000 during Tuesday's court martial, a rare proceeding that was the second court martial in London in two days.

....

Prosecutor Capt. J.C. Maguire during the court martial Tuesday commended Scagnetti for launching an investigation immediately,
 having statements gathered from witnesses and taking full responsibility.

Maguire said the early guilty plea also showed Scagnetti's accountability, integrity and honour at all times before and after the incident.

Op LASER is the CAF operation responding to COVID-19 within Canada.  Our tasks
will be geared to support Federal, Provincial, Territorial and Municipal governments and
agencies in their efforts to suppress the disease, to support vulnerable populations and to
provide logistical and general support to communities.  To do this we are now in the
process of identifying the forces required, including our incredibly valuable Primary
Reserves and Canadian Rangers.  These forces will be organized down to individual
level into task forces able to deploy by sea, road or air to where they are needed.  More
will come through the chain of command as we complete the work to identify and set
the force.  The concept of employment of the force is being developed and will include
Regular, Primary Reserve and Canadian Ranger.  More on this next week.

Op LENTUS is the CAF operation to respond to domestic emergencies, like
floods and forest fires, where civil agencies need CAF support.  Similar to the process
for Op LASER, the forces are being identified and will be warned off and re-grouped
in the days to come.  We are anticipating that Op LASER and Op LENTUS could run
concurrently.

___________Objects of concern [microform] : providing for Canadians in enemy hands through the 20th century,  Thesis (Ph.D.)--York University, 1993, copy at the National Library of Canada, 5 microfiches. SERIES: Canadian theses = Thèses canadiennes NOTES: University Microfilms order no. UMI00441614;

In the wars of the twentieth century, some fifteen thousand Canadians had the misfortune
to be held captive as prisoners of war or internees. Traditionally, these prisoners have
been viewed as forgotten casualties whose privations were misunderstood during the war
and whose needs were neglected afterwards. The dissertation seeks to evaluate this
traditional view by examining Canadian efforts to care for its citizens in enemy hands
through the course of the twentieth century. The dissertation focuses on two significant
aspects of that experience: attempts to ship relief supplies to prisoners; and efforts to
secure their release. Related themes are Canada's work in preparing servicemen for captivity
and rehabilitating them after their release, and the development of international law, both
in Canadian attempts to monitor its observance in wartime and in our participation in its
revision during peacetime. The First and Second World Wars and the Korean War are examined
in turn, to determine if Canadian authorities did all they could to ameliorate the lot of
Canadians in enemy hands and to see if the government improved over time its mechanism for
providing for prisoners. In each case, an important distinction is drawn between organizational
problems in Canada and the impact those problems had on the objects of the effort, the prisoners
themselves. To sketch out the shape of the organization to provide for prisoners in Canada,
the dissertation relies on government documents and the personal papers of some of the officials
who were deeply involved in POW superintendence. To detail the story on the other side of the
fence, the personal papers and recollections of ex-prisoners have been used extensively, from
archives and regimental museums,private collections and oral interviews. Far from being forgotten,
prisoners rarely ceased to be objects of concern for Canadians. The experience of the world wars
demonstrated that an excess of concern created immense organizational problems for the Canadian
government, which never developed a workable means of channeling that concern into a useful outlet.
Furthermore, the Korean War and the post-1945 pension battles waged by ex-prisoners suggest that
the government did learn from past mistakes and tried to avoid the difficulties encountered during
the world wars. In spite of the confusion which often plagued those parts of government charged with
monitoring POW affairs, the prisoners themselves had good cause to believe that they were
better looked after than many of their fellow prisoners from other Allied countries.

What is an army legal officer from the Office of the Judge Advocate General doing on a Canadian warship at sea during an overseas deployment
in the Indian Ocean?

That was the question on many sailors’ minds when they found out that Major Adam van der Linde was going to be on board HMCS Regina for
 six to eight months during Operation Artemis.

Op Artemis demonstrates the Canadian Armed Forces’ commitment to peace and stability in the Indian Ocean/Arabian Sea by maintaining a
 credible and enduring presence as directed by the Government of Canada. Regina is doing its part to support our allies and security partners
 in the region by operating within a responsive international force known as Combined Task Force 150 (CTF-150).

In accordance with CTF-150’s mandate and international law, Regina has the legal authority to approach, board and search vessels of interest
 to deter and deny the use of the maritime environment for terrorism or the facilitation of terrorist activities. However, there are many considerations
 that must be satisfied before this can be done.

“We need to establish the legal basis to board and search vessels in the Op Artemis Joint Operations Area and having legal advice on the ship is key
 to making that happen in a timely fashion,” said Commander Dan Charlebois, Regina’s commanding officer. “This allows Regina to search these
 vessels for illicit narcotics or other contraband used to fund terrorism as part of our maritime security and counter-terrorism mission.”

Maj van der Linde’s responsibilities on board Regina include advising the chain of command on all legal issues such as applying the laws of armed
 conflict during real time operations at sea, determining sovereign territorial waters from international waters, and the application of internal discipline.
 A major part of his job during this deployment is to interpret and apply laws such as the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea.

“This deployment has been one of the most memorable in my career so far, as well as a great life experience as I’ve never been to sea with the Royal
 Canadian Navy before,” said Maj van der Linde. “I love the fact that I am an army officer practising law on board a Canadian warship during an
 operational deployment as I never know what new challenges and novel legal situations each day will bring.”

Extract

The political and administrative Control of the Canadian military forces by the Government of Canada during the
First World War, 1914–19, presented several novel problems to the Canadian system of cabinet government. A
detailed examination of the relations between the Government of the Dominion (a clean word in 1916), as
represented by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, and the military organization overseas, as represented by
its chief staff officers, is useful to students of both cabinet government and public administration. This paper
seeks to throw light on two facets of these political-military relations: first, the problem of making cabinet
control effective over an army physically separated from Canada by geographical distance and relatively
primitive communications; second, that of the extent to which effective political control over an army
establishment beyond her borders enhanced the de facto meaning of dominion status.

In 1919 dominion status did not mean quite what it had come to mean in 1931. On the whole the control over
high matters of war and peace lay beyond the powers of the Government of Canada. The British North America Act,
1867, had not foreseen the possibility that the advisors of the Governor General should assume control over the
conduct of a great war. Even if it had been appropriate for Sir Robert Borden or his colleagues to direct policy
in war, Parliament appeared to lack the power to legislate beyond the shores of Canada. When, after two years
of war, Canada had placed a substantial army overseas, it became necessary to alter constitutional practice to
fit the new facts produced by the war. This effort was considerably to modify the meaning of dominion status.

ABSTRACT

The decision to employ force abroad is often a contentious political decision, where partisanship plays a crucial role.
Prior to military intervention, political parties usually make their ideologically distinctive preferences clear and seek
to implement them once in power. What remains unclear, however, is how ideology affects the decision to use military
force. This article contends that alliance and electoral calculations constrain the ability of political parties to implement
their ideological preferences with regards to the use of force. It examines a “most likely” case for the partisan theory of
military intervention, namely Canada’s refusal to take part in the invasion of Iraq and its decision to commit forces to
the war against the Islamic State. It finds that only in combination with alliance and electoral calculations does executive
ideology offer valuable insights into Canada’s military support to U.S.-led coalition operations, which contributes to our
understanding of allied decision-making.

The Military Judges Inquiry Committee, established in accordance with section 165.31 of the National Defence Act, reviewed a complaint against
the Chief Military Judge Mario Dutil. The complaint was made by Colonel Bruce J Wakeham.

The complaint concerned allegations of infringement to the Defence Administrative Order and Directives (DAOD) 5019-1, Personal Relationships
and Fraternization. After considering all the issues in this case, the complaint was dismissed on the basis that it did not raise any issue of
judicial conduct as referred to in subsection 165.32(7) of the National Defence Act and therefore did not warrant consideration by the Military

Before Canada's Anti-Terrorism Act was passed in 2001, CSEC had no statutory basis. Canada's Anti-Terrorism Act and the revised National
Defence Act extended CSEC powers, allowing the agency to collect foreign intelligence for communications with a Canadian nexus, thus
contributing to post-9/11 surveillance and security intelligence legacies. Yet little is known about CSEC practices or CSEC's involvement in
the "War on Terror." In this article, we examine the transformation of CSEC. We contribute to debates about communications surveillance and
anti-terrorism laws by analyzing the results of access to information requests pertaining to CSEC intelligence and the reports of the Office of
the Communications Security Establishment Commissioner. Focusing on the Ministerial Authorizations that enable CSEC's interceptions of
private communications, which we conceptualize using Ericson's notion of counter-law, we also add to literature on the structure of secrecy
by assessing CSEC information management practices.

Abstract

This paper describes the militarization of security and police forces occurring in Canada vis-à-vis regulation of the nuclear industry.
Based on analysis of access to information requests, we investigate the operations of Nuclear Response Forces (NRFs) on nuclear
sites in Canada, including the structural features of these NRFs, and their connections to local as well as national security and policing
agencies. Our research explores the post–11 September 2001 impact of “design basis threat” assessment and counterterrorism policy
on policing operations. Design basis threat assessment organizes security and policing practices according to adversarial models of
military operation. We argue that the literature concerning militarization of policing must be extended to account for how the
coordination of private and public security agencies as well as intelligence agencies at critical infrastructure sites facilitates the
distribution of military technology and strategy across numerous scales of policing. Commenting on how militarization of security
vis-à-vis nuclear proliferation in Canada is affecting some rural police forces, we contend that the design basis threat model of
counterterrorism is transforming the strategy and operations of some local police forces working in jurisdictions near nuclear sites.

D'après une analyse des demandes d'accès à l'information, on décrit dans l'article la militarisation des forces policières au Canada
pour ce qui est de la réglementation sur l'industrie nucléaire. On examine les forces d'intervention pour la sécurité nucléaire qui
sont déployées dans les centrales nucléaires du Canada, notamment leurs caractéristiques structurelles (similaires à celles des
organisations paramilitaires) et leurs liens avec les forces policières locales et nationales. On évalue aussi le récent effet des
politiques de lutte contre le terrorisme sur les activités de ces forces d'intervention. Dans le commentaire, qui porte sur l'effet
de la militarisation de la police dans les régions rurales, on parle du rapprochement des multiples échelles de politiques causé
par la militarisation et la mise en œuvre de modèles de politiques contre le terrorisme axées sur la prévention et la protection
civile. Dans la conclusion, on discute des cou○ts associés à la prolifération des centrales nucléaires, qui, en plus de causer des
dommages à l'environnement, exigent des subventions de l'ordre des centaines de millions de dollars par année versées par le
gouvernement fédéral à Énergie atomique du Canada limitée et à la Commission canadienne de sureté. Une partie de cet argent
est affecté à la militarisation (par exemple, à l'achat d'armes et aux technologies de surveillance).

   Legal Issues
In the Canadian Forces (CF), there is no legal impediment to the use of lawfully prescribed medications for the
purpose of performance maintenance. Prescription of these medications must, however, be in keeping with the
direction provided in the National Defence Act (NDA), The Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA), the Food and
Drugs Act , and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). Access to these statutes has been facilitated
immensely through the internet, with most legislation in the form of acts and associated regulations readily
available at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca to any Canadian citizen. The National Defence Act, specifically, outlines
the legal basis for the Canadian Forces (CF). The Act states in Sec 33(1) that all officers and non-commissioned
members are at all times liable to perform any lawful duty. This means that members of the CF must be fit to carry
out lawful orders at any time, any day of the week. This requirement to be able to carry out a lawful order is
considered a bona fide ccupational requirement of any CF member.  This section of the Act is the basis for the
universality of service principle that all members of the CF must satisfy. This universality of service requirement is
also enforced in the CHRA paragraph 15(9). Although the CHRA guarantees the rights of all Canadian citizens to
life, liberty, security, and the enjoyment of personal property, this paragraph in the CHRA specifically directs that
the “Canadian Forces must at all times and under all circumstances perform any functions that they may be
required to perform”. It also implies that the CHRA cannot be used as a reason to not comply with a lawful medical
recommendation. It also is important in consideration of the implications of refusing to take a medication to maintain
wakefulness when medically recommended to do so. Neither the NDA nor the CHRA specifically precludes the use
of performance maintenance med ications for fatigue countermeasures. The question of the legal use of performance
maintenance medications really becomes one of operational necessity in the setting of due diligence. The law
prohibits the forceful requirement to take medications for any purpose. The medical recommendation to take
medications of this nature must be in an operational setting where all reasonable alternative modalities have been
exhausted (i.e. scheduling, circadian adjustment strategies like melatonin and phototherapy, or nutrition like naturally
caffeinated beverages). If a member elects to not take a performance maintenance medicationin this setting, then
from a legal perspective the responsibility would be on him/her to prove that he/she was in fact safe to continue that
specific duty. Thus, a member has the legal right to specifically refuse to take a performance maintenance medication,
but he/she does not have the right to fall asleep on duty as a consequence of that refusal. A specific operational
example would include the piloting of a single seat armed aircraft, where falling asleep would mean the loss of a
national asset, failure to completion a mission, and a risk to the collective safety of the pilot and other CF members and
 civilians. ... [footnotes omitted]

WALKER, Samuel G., “Lawful Murder: Unnecessary Killing in the Law of War”, (July 2012) 25(2) Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence 417-446; title noted in my research but article not consulted;

The international law of war limits the use of violence, largely through protections afforded to civilians. However, the law
provides no principled limit on the taking of combatant life — soldiers may be killed even if to do so would contribute
absolutely no military advantage. This permissive approach to unnecessary killing has deep historical roots in the philosophy
of the law of war. Three justifications for unnecessary killing have been advanced: a robust notion of sovereignty that views
the soldier as a disposable molecule of a greater being; the idea that soldiers are ‘guilty’ and deserve what befalls them in war;
and a pragmatic approach holding that limits on gratuitous violence are both impossible to implement in practice as well as
harmful. None of these arguments are persuasive in light of the contemporary consensus that there is a human right to life that
ought to be respected at all times, even in war. A rule of "combatant proportionality" should therefore be formally incorporated
into the law of war. (source: law.uwo.ca/research/the_canadian_journal_of_law_and_jurisprudence/2012_July.html, accessed 5 July 2016)

WALSH-NARAINE, Chavi (Chavi Aodhan), "Major Walsh Put His Law Degree to Practice World-Wide",  Get to know your Canadian Armed Forces, year 2014; available at  https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/caf-jobs/life/gtkyf/profiles.html#2016 (accessed 22 August 2017); member of the Law Society of Ontario;

As a Legal Officer in the Forces, Major Chavi Walsh is responsible for providing legal advice to the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence.
“I enjoy advising on national policies and ensuring that Forces members are being treated in a fair manner in accordance with the law,” Chavi says. “No week is the same,
and every week I learn something that I did not know before.”

Chavi joined the Army Reserve while completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Ottawa. “I was looking for a part-time job that fit well with my student
schedule, offered full-time summer employment and would give me marketable job skills upon graduation,” he recalls. After spending four years at a private law firm
in Ottawa, Chavi began considering a full-time career in the Forces. “The main reason for leaving the private sector was to practice law in an international context,”
Chavi says. “The attraction of practicing law while maintaining a high level of fitness and frequently working outside of an office was also highly attractive.”

Chavi joined the Regular Force in 2008 and hasn’t looked back since: “Performing high-level legal work with interesting and motivated colleagues, all while wearing the
Canadian flag on my uniform, constantly reinforces my decision to join the Forces.” Chavi also notes that the benefits and lifestyle provided by the Forces are much
better than what’s available to lawyers in the private sector. “The salary that is offered to lawyers in the Forces is competitive,” he explains. “In the private sector,
you get longer hours and limited vacation. In addition, the private sector does not offer the job security and pension provided to Forces members.”

Chavi is currently posted in Montreal, where he lives with his wife and their three young children. “I have a very good work-life balance that would be the envy of
every private sector lawyer,” he enthuses. With regular working hours and paid vacation days, Chavi is able to devote a lot of time to his family. He enjoys playing
with his children and keeping fit through running and weight training. In the future, Chavi wants to explore his interest in international affairs by pursuing a Master
of Law degree in International Humanitarian Law.

“The ideal candidate for the Forces should wear their uniform with pride and should always hold themselves to a high standard,” Chavi advises. If he could give
advice to his pre-Forces self, he would say, “I would tell myself to pursue a career in the Forces. The decision to join was one that I have not second-guessed yet!”

Description: For one thing, says Ernie Beno, a retired brigadier general who helped send the Canadian
Airborne Regiment to Somalia, the military has substituted careful planning for "ad hoc" solutions to
potential problems. In Somalia, the Airborne was part of a multinational force scattered across the country.
The soldiers were originally sent for three months, but the tour was extended. Uncertainty about when they'd
go home played havoc with morale. In Somalia, the senior officer was a colonel whose headquarters in
Mogadishu was hundreds of kilometres away from the Airborne camp. In Kabul, the Canadians will serve
with an international brigade commanded by Canadian Brig.-Gen. Peter Devlin. Another Canadian, Maj.-Gen.
Andrew Leslie, will be deputy commander of the entire multinational force.  Source: © ProQuest LLC All rights reserved

Abstract A number of states internationally lawfully enlist persons younger than eighteen
(but at least sixteen) into their national armed forces. While such enlistment is consistent
with the relevant states’ international law obligations, a number of additional obligations
are triggered that the state owe towards the child enlistee by virtue of international
children’s rights. This article engages with these additional obligations as they apply to
child members of the armed forces who are in conflict with the law. In particular, focus is
placed on states that maintain a separate and distinct military justice system, and the
examples of Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom are relied upon for illustrative
purposes. In order to properly engage with state obligation in this regard, the article also
endeavors to address the nature of the duty of care owed by the armed forces in respect
of child members.

[Abstract]
"The Canadian Forces (CF) has an operational mandate to maintain fit and deployable troops at an optimum
level of readiness to engage in military missions assigned by the government. In the execution of their duties,
CF members are occasionally injured to the point of disablement. If the CF were to follow the duty, to
accommodate disabled persons in accordance with Canadian employment law, it would mean retaining members
who are disabled or otherwise unable to deploy in administrative or infrastructure positions, rendering them
unavailable for operational service. The unintended consequence of retaining disabled CF members is that, in
times of high operational tempo and constraints on recruiting and retention, the fit members need to deploy more
frequently that their unfit colleagues to meet the government's commitments. Should the CF retain disabled persons
at the expense of the health and safety of the non-disabled? Is there a balance between meeting the demands of the
government, preserving the well-being of disabled CF members, while meeting the duty to accommodate?  How is
this balance to be managed without dispossessing the disabled or failing to meet government expectations?  This
thesis will determine that the CF, while statutorily exempt from the duty to accommodate, meets the purpose of
accommodation through the temporary and transitional retention of disabled members and also through the provision
of a comprehensive medical treatment and financial benefits regime that ameliorates the difficulties of underemployment,
poverty, access to services and a diminished quality of life experienced by the disabled in society."

Instructor, Law 207/707 - International Law

  • PhD, Queen's University Faculty of Law
  • LLM, Queen's University Faculty of Law
  • MBA, New Brunswick
  • LLB, New Brunswick
  • BA - Economics and Political Science, Manitoba

Christopher Waters was born in Hamilton, Ontario.  In 1973, following an unanticipated early departure
from secondary school, he enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces and spent the next 28 years in a variety
of roles and appointments in the Army.  He participated in exercises and operations in Canada and in
Australia, Norway, Germany and Cyprus.  He was initially trained and employed as a reconnaissance
patrolman, an anti-tank guided missile gunner and, after having earned an officer’s commission, was
employed as an armoured reconnaissance troop leader, an armoured squadron commander and a higher
headquarters senior staff officer.

In 2001 Christopher switched career paths. After completing law school and articles, joined the Office of
the Judge Advocate General (JAG) as a military lawyer.  As a member of JAG, he has worked in
administrative law and grievances, and also served as the Deputy Judge Advocate at Canadian Forces
Base Kingston and concurrently as an adjunct professor at the Royal Military College.  Christopher
deployed twice in Afghanistan as the senior legal advisor to the Commander of the Canadian contribution
to the International Security and Assistance Force, first in Kabul (2005) and then Kandahar (2009-2010).
On return from Kandahar he was appointed the Director of the Canadian Forces Military Law Centre in
Kingston. Christopher retired in 2014 in the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He resides in Kingston, where he
earned a PhD in International Law at Queen’s and continues his teaching career as a sessional instructor
at both Queen’s and St Lawrence College.

For his LLM thesis, Christopher examined military employment law and policy, in particular the balance
between statutory requirement to keep members of the Canadian Armed Forces operationally effective and
the duty to accommodate disabled employees in Canadian employment law.

Christopher’s PhD research interests are motivated by exposure to international military operations and
his experience providing legal advice amid uncertain legal frameworks within difficult and violent peace
support missions abroad. Consequently his research revolved around seeking means to reconcile the tension
between international human rights law and international humanitarian law in asymmetric conflict.

Christopher holds a BA in Economics and Political Science (Manitoba), an MBA and LLB (New Brunswick)
and an LLM and PhD (Queen’s). Christopher is a member of the Law Society of New Brunswick and a life
member of the Canadian Bar Association.

Chris had an equally varied and challenging career. Following his first tour with the Regiment,
 he served a tour as RSS officer with KOCR and a tour with The RCD in Germany. This was
followed by his appointment as 2IC HQ Sqn and then OC C Sqn, both with the Strathcona’s.
Shortly thereafter Chris completed his undergraduate studies at U of M and then a tour as an
Armour School instructor and G1 of the Combat Training Centre at CFB Gagetown.

Chris obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree at UNB and was called to the bar in 2001,
concurrently transferring to the Office of the Judge Advocate General. WO (Ret’d) Paul
Peters, who was in Chris’s troop in Cyprus, noted in his message to Chris at his retirement
function that the shift was no surprise seeing Chris had so much first hand experience with
the other side of the CF’s military law system. Regardless, Chris had an extremely rewarding
second career with the JAG Branch including deployments to Afghanistan in 2005 as Legal
Advisor to Commander, Task Force Kabul and in 2009 as Senior Legal Advisor to Commander,
Joint Task Force Afghanistan.

 Neither is done yet. Chris and his wife Sage will remain in Kingston where he is pursuing his
PhD at Queen’s Law with the intention of being appointed a professor of law in due course.
Dave and his wife Ann Dobbin are completing harbour occupation drills in Ottawa prior to

Strathcona Enews

 After almost 43 years of loyal, dedicated and outstanding service, Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher
 Waters has recently retired from the Canadian Armed Forces.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario sometime during the tenure of the Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, LCol Waters
began his military career at the beginning of the disco era as a Private with the 1st Battalion, Princess
Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in Calgary in 1973.  He participated in the 1976 Montréal
Olympics as a member of the Canadian Forces security contingent, and later the same year was
posted to West Germany where he was employed as an anti-tank gunner and detachment commander
in Armour Defence Platoon.

Recommended for commissioning from the ranks in 1979, LCol Waters returned to Canada to
undertake training as an Armour Officer and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in Lord
Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) in Calgary in 1980.  In 1982 he commanded a reconnaissance
troop in Cyprus as part of the United Nations mission in that country, after which he was promoted
to Captain and undertook a three-year Regular Support Staff tour with the King’s Own Calgary
Regiment.  In 1986, LCol Waters was posted to West Germany with the Royal Canadian Dragoons,
and served as a Battle Captain and Second-in-Command of both tank and reconnaissance squadrons.
Returning to Canada in 1989, he returned to the Strathcona’s in Calgary as the Second-in-Command
of Headquarters Squadron and then as the Officer Commanding “C” Squadron.  In 1992, he spent a
year at the University of Manitoba completing his undergraduate studies and was subsequently posted
to the Armour School as a tactics instructor. His last "army" job was the G1 of the Combat Training
Centre in Gagetown, New Brunswick.

Selected into the Military Legal Training Plan in 1997, LCol Waters obtained his Bachelor of Laws
at the University of New Brunswick and was called to the New Brunswick Bar in 2001, concurrently
transferring to the Office of the Judge Advocate General.  He was then posted to Ottawa and assigned
to the Directorate of Law/Military Personnel until 2002, and then to the Canadian Forces Grievance
Authority.  In 2004, LCol Waters was posted to the Office of Military Legal Education at RMCC
Kingston, and from February to August 2005 he deployed to Afghanistan as Legal Advisor to the
Commander, Task Force Kabul.  Upon his return to Canada he was appointed Deputy Judge Advocate
Kingston, and in 2007 he was posted to the Canadian Forces Military Law Centre in Kingston as an
instructor and course developer.

In 2009 LCol Waters was promoted to his present rank and appointed the Senior Legal Advisor to the
Commander, Joint Task Force Afghanistan. Following a ten month tour in Kandahar, he returned to
Kingston and took up an appointment as Director of the Canadian Forces Military Law Centre, a
position he held until he commenced burning 42 years’ worth of accumulated, accrued and retirement
leave in August 2013.

LCol Waters is a graduate of the Canadian Forces Staff School and the Canadian Land Force Command
and Staff College.  He holds a BA in Economics and Political Science from the University of Manitoba
(1992), an MBA (1997) and LLB (2000) from the University of New Brunswick, and an LLM (2007)
from Queen’s University. He is currently a PhD candidate at Queen’s Law.

Throughout his career endeavours, LCol Waters always received the love and support of his wife Sage
and their three children, Jeremy, Gillian and Robin.

Recognized for his keen insights and humour, LCol Waters has served Canada faithfully for many years
and in many different capacities. His leadership and practical approach to the practise of military law
have been duly recognized by the Office of the JAG and the CAF leadership at large. Not a man to
remain still for long, LCol Waters will not yet retire from working life and intends to remain in the
Kingston area.

A depart with dignity celebration will occur in Kingston at the Fort Frontenac Officers’ Mess on
Saturday 7 June 2014 from 1400 to 1700 hours. Congratulatory messages and anecdotes, along
with RSVP from individuals planning to attend, can be communicated to Lt(N) Mike Baker
(Mike.Baker@forces.gc.ca) at the Canadian Forces Military Law Centre prior to 30 May 2014.
 The Regiment wishes Chris and his family all the best in this next chapter in his life.
 
Perseverance,

___________Reducing the Tension in the Application of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law to Asymmetric Warfare, A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Law in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada February, 2018, v, 299 leaves; available at https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/bitstream/handle/1974/23947/Waters_Christopher_S_201802_PhD.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y (accessed 15 April 2019);

Abstract

There are two similar but competing legal regimes in the international domain that protect people: human rights law and
humanitarian law. Currently, the two regimes are in tension. In the last four decades, international human rights norms have
expanded to occupy the field previously dominated by humanitarian law and have become the primary legal regime for
governing the use of force in non-international armed conflict. The reasons are the changing nature of warfare and its
participants and slow modernization of humanitarian law conventions. Thetension has created divergent standards of
nterpretation of the two regimes, which has led to the inconsistent application of human rights and humanitarian law
norms. Proponents of international human rights law maintain that it is the only regime capable of adequately protecting
the victims of violence in non-international armed conflict. They state that the humanitarian law conventions developed
to mitigate the deleterious effects of conventional international armed conflict are ineffective in controlling the consequences
of contemporary asymmetric warfare. Human rights conventions have much more rigorous protections for those victims,
and access to accountability mechanisms. However, the continuing expansion of human rights norms into the realm of
armed conflict is ineffective. While humanitarian law norms applicable to non-international armed conflict lack density in
topics such the use of lethal force and the treatment of detainees, rejuvenation of humanitarian law would be a more effective
solution. Humanitarian norms were specifically developed to moderate the application of lethal means, to protect the victims
of armed conflict, and to govern the treatment of detainees. The key to reducing the tension lies in leveraging the fundamental
principle of humanity, though the creation of a universal framework for the use of force based on the unifying principle of
humanity that would apply to every person, at all times, irrespective of characterization of the conflict. Such a framework must
reflect the highest norms of precautions and protection found in both regimes, and must be simple understand and apply.

WATERS, Christopher (Christopher P.M.), "Beyond Lawfare: Juridical Oversight of Western Militaries", (2009) 46 Alberta Law Review 885;

Abstract


While civilian supremacy over the armed forces is accepted as a matter of faith in Western countries,
this supremacy often means little more than supremacy of the executive branch of government over
top generals. Indeed, efforts to regulate armed forces through broader domestic or international legal
frameworks, including international criminal law, have been resisted in some military quarters
(particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States) with the military and its backers raising
concerns of “legal encirclement” or “lawfare.” The author argues for broad civilian and democratic
oversight of armed forces, including through increased judicial and quasi-judicial scrutiny of overseas
military actions at the domestic and international levels. The author concludes that broad democratic
oversight not only promotes compliance with international legal norms but supports operational
effectiveness as well.

There may be no other term in international humanitarian law (hereinafter, IHL) which evokes such
debate or controversy as ‘proportionality’. In part, this debate is a result of the nature of the term itself.
The broad use of the term ‘proportionality’ in international law, combined with images of an almost
scientific balancing of opposing interests on finely tuned scales of humanitarian justice, masks a much
more complex and unclear reality. The degree to which contemporary discussion and, with it, the law
camouflages the complex moral issues underlying the targeting ‘proportionality’ test is reflected in the
fact that conventional law does not actually use the term. Rather, the question ‘at law’ is whether a loss
of civilian life or damage to civilian property during the conduct of hostilities is ‘excessive in relation to
the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated’.

The difficult questions presented when assessing proportionality during targeting arise in part because
society is required to face the reality that ‘[i]n any armed conflict people are injured or killed and property
is damaged or destroyed.’ Even more fundamentally, the assessment of ‘excessive’ killing or damage forces
a qualitative assessment by ‘civilised’ peoples of the value of human life not only in relation to other humans
but also with respect to property and ultimately politically-driven objectives related to the conduct of hostilities.
Ultimately, the goal of warfare is to change the ‘mind’ of another state or other political entity. Yet, forcing one's
will on another state by violent means inevitably results in civilians being put at risk ‘not because anyone set
out to attack them, but only because of their proximity to a battle that is being fought against someone else’.

"Abstract
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has the potential to have considerable impact on the Canadian
military justice system. That impact may be particularly significant in relation to the summary proceedings
prescribed by the National Defence Act and its regulations. The summary trial system is the predominant forum
for the trial of service offences. It provides expeditious and uncomplicated proceedings, administered by
officers holding positions in the military chain of command who are directly responsible for maintenance
of discipline in the Canadian Forces. The Charter, as a constitutional document specifically designed to
protect individual rights, could potentially be viewed as a weapon with which to champion individual rights
at the expense of the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Forces. The main theme of this thesis is
that the Charter, rather than being seen as a vehicle for an attack on the military justice system, should
be viewed as providing an effective and pragmatic means of reconciling conflict between guaranteed rights
and freedoms and the need for a disciplined armed force." (source: AMICUS catalogue)

___________on WATKIN, Colonel Kenneth, see  ANONYMOUS, "Brief", Toronto Star, Nov 5, 2009, p.A.7:

Description: Brig.-Gen. Ken Watkins, the military judge advocate general, claimed solicitor-client privilege about whether he'd seen
warnings from a diplomat in Kandahar and whether he'd received direction from the Prime Minister's office. Watkins's office was
copied on reports written by diplomat Richard Colvin in 2006, which laid out stark warnings about possible torture in Kandahar jails.
Senior Conservatives say they never saw the reports. Watkins refused to say whether he - or anyone else in his office - saw Colvin's reports.

The National Defence Act provides for the appointment of the Judge Advocate General by Governor in Council. I am legal adviser to the Governor General, the Minister of National Defence, the Department of National Defence, and the Canadian Forces, in matters relating to military law.

Military law means all international and domestic law relating to the Canadian Forces, including its governance, administration, and activities. This includes operational law, which is the domestic and international law applicable to all domestic and international Canadian Forces operations.

I also superintend the administration of military justice in the Canadian Forces. As former Chief Justice Lamer recognized in his 2003 report on the military justice system, the JAG has attorney general-like responsibilities. I exercise command  over all legal officers working in the office of the Judge Advocate General, including those deployed to Afghanistan to advise commanders regarding Canadian Forces operations.  (p. 1)

[Traduction]
La Loi sur la défense nationale prévoit que le juge-avocat général — JAG — doit être nommé par le gouverneur en conseil.  Je joue le rôle de conseiller juridique auprès de la Gouverneure générale, du ministre de la Défense nationale, du ministère de la Défense nationale et des Forces canadiennes pour tout ce qui a trait au droit militaire.

Le terme « droit militaire» englobe l'ensemble des lois internationales et nationales qui concernent les Forces canadiennes et qui ont trait, notamment, à leur gouvernance, à leur administration et à leurs activités. Le droit militaire comprend le droit des conflits armés appliqué aux opérations, qui est l'ensemble des lois nationales et internationales s'appliquant aux opérations réalisées par les Forces canadiennes au Canada et à l'étranger.

Je suis également chargé de contrôler l'administration de la justice militaire au sein des Forces canadiennes. Comme l'ancien juge en chef Lamer l'a reconnu dans son rapport de 2003 sur le système de justice militaire, le JAG a des  responsabilités semblables à celles d'un procureur général. Tous les avocats militaires du cabinet du Juge-avocat général sont placés sous mon commandement, y compris ceux qui se rendent en Afghanistan afin de conseiller les commandants canadiens quant aux opérations des Forces canadiennes.  (p. 1)

The Operations Division
To enable and support legal officers in their role as legal advisers to Commanders and their staffs, the Judge
Advocate General has formed the Operations Division. Located at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa,
the Division consists of the Directorate of International and Operational Law, the Directorate of Intelligence
and Information Operations, as well as permanent legal advisers to the Strategic Joint Staff and the Operational
Commands. As such, the Division not only oversees and supports deployed legal officers, but collectively
provides first-line legal advice to the strategic level of the Canadian Forces on matters of operational law.
Figure 2 below illustrates the current organization of the Operations Division. [p. 9 of the article]

La division des opérations
Afin d’habiliter les avocats militaires et de les appuyer dans leur rôle à titre de conseillers juridiques auprès
des commandants et de leur personnel, le jugeavocat général a créé la division des opérations. Située au
Quartier général de la Défense nationale, à Ottawa, la division est formée de la direction du droit international
et opérationnel, la direction des opérations du renseignement et de l’information ainsi que des conseillers
juridiques permanents du commandement de l’état-major interarmées stratégique et des commandements
opérationnel. À ce titre, la division ne fait pas que superviser et appuyer les avocats militaires déployés,
elle offre collectivement des avis juridiques de première ligne au niveau stratégique des Forces canadiennes
sur des questions de droit opérationnel. Le schéma 2 ci-dessous illustre l’organisation actuelle de la division
des opérations.[p. 10 de l'article]

The austere conditions in Korea, coupled with the Department of National Defence's inability to provide even the most basic comforts to
troops in the field, led to the introduction of two policies designed to sustain the morale of Canadian fighting men: annual rotation and
Rest and Recreation leave. Neither enjoyed complete success, and as the war dragged on and the ineffectiveness of the official policies
became apparent, the officers and men of the 25th Brigade found themselves increasingly reliant on the traditional tonic for military
lugubriousness: alcohol. [p. 360]

...........



The rest of the Canadian courts martials in Korea were for violent criminal offenses, such as murder, rape, manslaughter, robbery with violence,
and attempted murder.  These have been covered elsewhere, and need not be re-examined here.85  Suffice it to say that very few men who were
actually found guilty of these crimes served their full sentences after being returned to Canada.  Indeed,"most soldiers found guilty of the murder
or rape of Korean civilians were released within a year or two, regardless of the original sentences passed by military judges.86  This travesty
of justice was yet another example of the institutional racism that seems to have permeated the upper echelons of the Department of National
Defence.  Yet, the failure of Canadian military justice at the highest levels can hardly be blamed on Canadian field commanders.  The evidence
clealy indicates that they immediately took the appropriate disciplinary action in cases involving serious criminal offenses, whether perpetrated
against civilians or fellow soldiers.87 [pp. 391-392]

Guest lecture from Canadian Armed Forces



On Tuesday students of the public international law had an excellent opportunity
to learn about the implementation of the international humanitarian law in practices.
As part of the course, they met with the Canadian Armed Forces who are the leading
nation for NATO troops stationed in Ādaži military base. Canadian Military Commander
Colonel Joshua Major and Military Legal Adviser Major Eric Weaver talked about the
application of the international humanitarian law principles in the battlefield, the role
of the military legal advisers and conducted a practical exercise with the students.

Example of a laser blinding weapon

WEBB, Chris, "Canada Plans Blinding Laser Weapons for Afghanistan", from Canwest News Service, 18 July 2008, available at https://canadiandimension.com/blog/view/canada-plans-blinding-laser-weapons-for-afghanistan (accessed 7 January 2016);

Armed with legal advice that the systems can be classified as warning devices, the Canadian military wants to proceed
with the purchase of laser weapons designed to temporarily blind people.

But a group opposed to the purchase of the equipment says any use of the so-called “laser dazzlers” in Afghanistan
violates international law and sets a dangerous precedent.

The senior military leadership has recommended the purchase, and the $10-million project is now awaiting approval
from Defence Minister Peter MacKay. Defence insiders say the military’s lawyers examined the legalities of using the
devices on Afghans, and concluded the systems are not laser weapons and can be deemed warning devices. MacKay is
expected to approve the purchase.

But Anthony Salloum, program director at the Rideau Institute in Ottawa, said Canada would be violating its international
obligations by using the dazzlers on Afghans.  Canada has ratified a treaty that prevents the use of weapons that cause
permanent blindness. ...

 Routledge Research in Terrorism and the Law

Preventive detention as a counter-terrorism tool is fraught with conceptual and procedural problems and risks of misuse, excess and abuse. Many have debated the inadequacies of the current legal frameworks for detention, and the need for finding the most appropriate legal model to govern detention of terror suspects that might serve as a global paradigm. This book offers a comprehensive and critical analysis of the detention of terror suspects under domestic criminal law, the law of armed conflict and international human rights law. The book looks comparatively at the law in a number of key jurisdictions including the USA, the UK, Israel, France, India, Australia and Canada and in turn compares this to preventive detention under the law of armed conflict and various human rights treaties. The book demonstrates that the procedures governing the use of preventive detention are deficient in each framework and that these deficiencies often have an adverse and serious impact on the human rights of detainees, thereby delegitimizing the use of preventive detention.

This essay offers a comparative survey of the practice of military justice among several of the key belligerent powers.
Accused soldiers enjoyed little in the way of legal protection, and punishment was generally swift and often harsh.
Decisions about the severity of punishment could vary considerably from case to case depending on the current
war situation and the state of morale and discipline in selected units. Thousands of soldiers were executed by
firing squad for the crimes of desertion, mutiny and cowardice. The primary purpose of military justice was to
maintain soldierly discipline; achieving justice in individual cases was a secondary concern

Wells had already decided he would stay his three years with the [JAG] legal branch of the service, but no more.
"I had come to realize that I wouldn't want to make it a permanent legal career, because while I learned a lot,
from what I could see, the lieutenant drafted the letter, and the captain vetted it, then it went to the major, who
vetted it again, and if it got by him it went up to the lieutenant-colonel, and finally the colonel saw it, and it
might have a chance  of going out without the brigadier having a go at it.  So I did not see this as a great
legal career.  I saw it as too confining and too military-structured to be a good, challenging professional career."

Human Rights and Armed Conflict

Of the many transformations that have occurred in the causes and conduct of armed conflict, including those
wrought by revolutions in technology, two stand out.

The first can be broadly described as the increasing prominence of the individual, rather than the sovereign
state, in the practice and law of armed conflict. This trend, which is both linked to and fuelled by parallel
developments in human rights, has had three principal effects.

First and foremost, it has made the individual one of the central reasons for going to war. So whereas conflicts
in previous centuries were about the gain of territory or resources, or defence against attack, many contemporary
conflicts have as one of their central purposes the protection of individuals’ physical security.  The action led by
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Libya last year is the culmination of this trend.

Second, the individual has become an accountable agent for certain criminal acts undertaken during the course
of war (whether at the level of commander or  soldier), as witnessed by the recent extraordinary trial of former
Liberian president Charles Taylor, accused of sponsoring atrocities in neighbouring Sierra Leone.

And third, the centrality of the individual means that international humanitarian law—the law applicable in
wartime—is no longer purely a body of reciprocal legal rules agreed to by sovereign states to limit their
conduct during war, in order to minimize the suffering of innocents. Instead, those who become embroiled
in armed conflict are still seen to possess their core human rights, regardless of what the warring parties
believe they need to do out of “military necessity.”3

WENTZELL, Tyler, "Canada's Foreign Enlistment Act and the Spanish Civil War", (2017) 80 Labour / Le Travail 213-246;

Content Description: ABSTRACT:Canada was officially neutral in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939); yet nearly 1700
Canadians fought for the Spanish Republic. The Communist Party of Canada (cpc) recruited the bulk of the volunteers.
While many in the Canadian left supported the Republican cause, others were alarmed by the involvement of communists
in the Republican government and the cpc's role in the recruiting. This tension seemed particularly pronounced between
English and French Canada. Québec Premier Maurice Duplessis called upon the federal government to bring the recruiting
to an end and to eradicate communism in general. Prime Minister Mackenzie King and his Québec lieutenant and Minister
of Justice, Ernest Lapointe, introduced a Canadian Foreign Enlistment Act in response. The statute targeted the cpc in its
capacity as a recruiting apparatus (versus targeting the volunteers), and had the added benefit of "Canadianizing" and
improving on the existing British statute. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police conducted investigations and warrants for
arrest were issued, but the war in Spain was over before the arrests were made. Ultimately, no one was prosecuted under
the Foreign Enlistment Act and its record in preventing recruiting is dubious.

------

RÉSUMÉ:
Le Canada était officiellement neutre dans la Guerre civile espagnole (1936-1939), mais près de 1700 Canadiens se sont
battus pour la République espagnole.  Le Parti communiste du Canada a recruté l'essentiel des bénévoles. Alors que
beaucoup de Canadiens ont soutenu la cause républicaine, d'autres ont été alarmés par la participation des communistes
au gouvernement républicain et le rôle du Parti communiste du Canada dans le recrutement. Cette tension semble
particulièrement marquée entre l'anglais et le français au Canada. Le premier ministre du Québec, Maurice Duplessis, a
demandé au gouvernement fédéral de mettre fin au recrutement et d'éradiquer le communisme en général. Le premier
ministre du Canada, Mackenzie King, et son lieutenant du Québec et ministre de la Justice, Ernest Lapointe, ont présenté
la Loi sur l'enrôlement à l'étranger canadienne en réponse. La loi visait le Parti communiste du Canada en sa qualité
d'appareil de recrutement (par rapport au ciblage des bénévoles) et avait l'avantage supplémentaire de « canadianiser »
et d'améliorer la loi britannique existante. La Gendarmerie royale du Canada a mené des enquêtes et des mandats d'arrestation
ont été délivrés, mais la guerre en Espagne était terminée avant l'arrestation. En fin de compte, personne n'a été poursuivi en
vertu de la Loi sur l'enrôlement à l'étranger et son dossier pour empêcher le recrutement est douteux.

Pte Harold Pringle, executed in 1945

WERNER, Hans, "Of moral ambiguity; It was politics, not justice or military necessity, that led Ottawa to order the 1945 execution of a young private", Toronto Star, Nov 10, 2002, p. D12;

Description: The Canadian government was so ashamed of the affair that it sealed the [Harold Pringle] file for 40 years and kept the
execution out of official military records. The file might have stayed buried if freelance writer Andrew Clark hadn't got his hands
on it through the Freedom of Information Act. After a two-year investigation, which included talking to men who knew Pringle,
the result is Clark's first book, A Keen Soldier: The Execution Of Second World War Private Harold Pringle. It's a powerful debut,
written in a vivid but admirably controlled style, which only serves to intensify the passion for the truth, and compassion for the
soldiers, that burns through its pages. Clark was put on to the story by his grandfather, Major Tom Jamieson, who narrowly missed
leading Pringle's firing party, and for whom the whole affair remained a bitter memory of what he contemptuously referred to as
"military justice." Not that the execution was really all that much of a secret. In 1958, another veteran of the Italian campaign,
Captain Colin McDougall, who attended Pringle's court martial, made it the basis of his novel, Execution, which became a bestseller
and won the Governor-General's Award. Whatever Pringle may or not have been guilty of, the decision to shoot him had nothing to
do with the alleged crime. After all, eight other Canadian soldiers had been convicted of murder during the war- even of killing their
officers- yet none were shot. The reason Pringle was executed was to satisfy the Brits, who had already shot two of their members
of the Sailor Gang. Failure to do the same with Pringle would have been taken as an affront to British Military Justice, and, in some
twisted minds, create the impression that Canadians were soft. (source: http://primo-pmtna01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/

Abstract

The past two years have marked a turning point in Canada’s cyber defence and security policy. In “Strong,
Secure and Engaged,” the Government of Canada called on the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to adopt a
more assertive cyber posture. To implement this policy, the CAF will have to rely heavily on Canada’s
civilian signals intelligence agency, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). Under the
proposed Bill C-59: An Act Respecting National Security Matters, CSE’s responsibilities will be
expanded to include the provision of technical and operational assistance to CAF and the Department
of National Defence, and a mandate to engage in defensive and active cyber operations. This paper
assesses the international legal implications arising from CSE’s expanded mandate and the risks
of relying on civilians to engage in offensive operations in an armed conflict. Looking to our five
eyes partners for guidance, the paper also makes a series of policy proposals to minimize the
risks to Canadian security and international relations arising from those implications.

WESTERN REPORT, "The doctor will see you now, Mr Deputy Minister: a special Ottawa hospital lets Canada's nomenklatura bypass waiting lists (National Defence Medical Centre)", Western Report, Oct 4, 1993, Vol.8(36), p.15;

Description: About 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa on Canadian Forces' land lies a sprawling hospital complex known as the National Defence
Medical Centre. As its name implies, the primary purpose of this centre is to treat military personnel. But as the 1990 Auditor General's report revealed,
61% of this centre's patients are in fact civilians, not members of the Canadian Forces. These patients were part of an elite group of high - ranking
bureaucrats and politicians whom Ottawa has deemed are entitled to bypass normal hospital waiting lists in Canada and receive immediate health
care services of any kind. Two weeks ago, the National Citizens' Coalition (NCC) lobby group discovered exactly which Canadians can use this
exclusive clinic when it obtained the latest "Members of the Executive Group" list under the Access to Information Act. It included 4,364 of the
federal government's senior bureaucrats, as well as all 104 Senators and 295 members of the House of Commons. (The health care list is similar
in intent to a much - smaller enumeration of senior Canadian officials whom Ottawa has always planned to shelter in the event of a nuclear war
 South of Ottawa an entire underground city has been erected simply for that purpose.)

a job with the Board when the fi rst opportunity came up. He eventually accepted an offer in 2001,
but explains why it took so long to make the move: “One reason I wasn’t enticed into making an
application in 1999 was that I thought that grievances would be dull and there wouldn’t be much
legal input. I was so wrong! A typical grievance fi le has far more pitfalls and non-obvious issues
than a file from the public complaining about, say, treatment by the police.”

WHITLA, Henry Walter, 1874-1956, on, see Manitoba Historical Society, "Memorable Manitobans: Henry Walter Whitla (1874-1956)", at http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/whitla_hw.shtml, accessed 24 December 2018:

Lawyer, judge.

Born at Monaghan, Ireland on 14 July 1874, son of James Whitla and Charlotte Duncan, he came to Winnipeg in
1882 to live with his uncle R. J. Whitla while attending St. John’s College, Wesley College (1893), and the
University of Manitoba (MA). He was called to the Manitoba Bar in 1897 and worked in the law firm of
Macdonald, Haggart and Whitla for several years.

He became Winnipeg’s first Crown Prosecutor in June 1909 and worked at the Winnipeg Police Court, during
which time he also represented the Dominion Government in the western freight rate matter. He resigned in
June 1910 (succeeded by R. W. Craig) to refocus his efforts in a private partnership with Hugh Phillipps based
in the Merchants Bank Building. He later abandoned the partnership in favour of working alone, was named
King’s Counsel (1913), and built a large successful practice. In 1933, he succeeded Lewis St. George Stubbs
as Senior County Court Judge of Winnipeg and served in that capacity for 17 years until retirement in November
1949. Highly respected inside and outside the courtroom, he was known for his courtesy, consideration, and fair
judgement.

On 18 December 1904, he married Clara Ethel Burnham (1880-1934), daughter of Frederick E. Burnham, at
Morden. They had two sons: Robert Meredith Whitla (1906-?) and Frederick William Whitla (1908-?). He
served as President of the Young Conservative Association (1898-1899), President of the Winnipeg Kiwanis
Club (1924), and District Governor of the Kiwanis (1925). He was a Conservative candidate for Winnipeg
South in the 1914 provincial general election. He was a member of the Carleton Club, Adanac Club, Fellowship
Club, Victoria Hockey Club (Secretary), Octave Bicycle Club, Kiwanis Club, Masons (Ancient Landmark
Lodge No. 3), and Orange Lodge.

He moved to British Columbia around December 1955 and died at Vancouver on 1 March 1956. His body was
returned to Winnipeg for burial in the St. John’s Cathedral Cemetery.

Abstract
This is an oral military history paper that examines the in-theatre effectiveness of Rules of Engagement using secondary research
and interviews with four veterans of the Canadian Forces. Those interviewed had all seen service with the Canadian Airborne Regiment,
and there were three officers and one non-commissioned member. The paper examines their memories of ROE with reference to the
FLQ Crisis and UN Peacekeeping missions in the Golan Heights, Cyprus, Bosnia-Croatia, and Somalia. Some issues raised are the importance
of leadership to enforcement of ROE, the necessity of practical training, and the need for the Canadian Forces to learn the lessons of previous
missions and swiftly enact any necessary changes. The conclusion of the paper is that while their implementation has been occasionally
problematic, ROE are a necessary set of rules welcomed by the soldiers who use them.

Abstract

During the mid–19th century, the role of the military in New Brunswick began to change. Although its primary
function remained defence against invasion, the civil power called on it with increasing frequency; first the
British regulars and later the militia assisted in capacities ranging from fighting fires to policing. Nevertheless,
as New Brunswick changed from colony to province, the militia did not automatically replace the imperial
garrison. Civil authorities were reluctant to call on it, and volunteers assumed this role only after the regulars
departed in 1869. This article first examines the types of disorder that occurred between the 1830s and the
1870s. It next considers the 18 known instances during this period when the civil authorities called out
British regulars and provincial (ie., county–based) militias to aid them. It finaly looks at factors that discouraged
such use of the militia.

Ronald Smith, formerly of North Bay, has filed suit against the federal government and a drug manufacturer that the drug he was required to take while part of the ill-fated Somalia peacekeeping mission in the early 1990s left him with a host of medical issues.

Ottawa and Hoffman-LaRoche – the company that developed mefloquine – opposes the lawsuit, initially launched in 2001 on behalf of veterans.

Smith is represented by Wayne Stickland of Larmer Stickland, PC, a North Bay law firm.

The author will first examine, in Part I, the broad context of the Khadr case. That context includes the Khadr family background,
the relevant law relating to children in armed conflict, the overall situation of juvenile detainees at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere,
and a bit of history on the prosecution of children in armed conflict. In Part II, he will document the efforts to put the issue of Omar’s
youth before the Washington federal court in habeas corpus proceedings, including some effort to develop the facts relating to Omar’s
capture and subsequent detention in Afghanistan and Guantanamo. In Part III, the author will examine the ways in which the question
of juvenile status affected military commission proceedings, both before and after the Hamdan decision. In Part IV, the role of the
Canadian courts in this complex array of litigation will be explored through the lens of Omar’s age. He will examine the ways in which
the issue of Omar’s youth was addressed in proceedings before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Part V, and Part VI
will discuss the outcome of the Khadr case. It will also offer his own conclusions and reflections on the ways in which the international
law of armed conflict and human rights interacted in these proceedings.

Abstract
The Oka Crisis is viewed by many as a definitive moment in Native-Canadian relations. However, the deployment of 4,500
personnel of the Canadian Forces (CF) to Kanesatake and Kahnawake during Operation SALON overshadowed the
deployment of the CF to Akwesasne over three months earlier under Operation FEATHER/AKWESASNE. Using
a variety of sources, the majority of which were secured through the Access to Information Act, and personal interviews,
this article examines not only Operation FEATHER/AKWESASNE itself, but its direct relationship to the events at
Kahnawake and Kanesatake during the Oka Crisis while highlighting the differences of Canada’s complex internal
security legislations. The CF operation at Akwesasne, lasting seven months (1 May to 5 December 1990), has been
wholly neglected by scholars in its own context but also in the historiography of the “Indian Summer” of 1990.
It is the forgotten front of the Oka Crisis.  (source: http://jmss.org/jmss/index.php/jmss/article/viewArticle/30)

Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of National Defence. I understand that the official from his department
who visited Europe in order to investigate the execution of the German prisoners who defected to the allies has returned
to the capital. Has the minister any report from this official?

Hon. Paul Hellyer (Minister of National
Defence): Not yet, Mr. Speaker. I expect that he will be reporting through the Judge Advocate General within a day or two.

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of primary group bonding and non-conventional methods for promoting unit cohesion. Conventional army training intensifies the power of group pressure within its ranks using methods that teach recruits the need for teamwork. Less conventional methods, such as initiation rites, are also used to promote group bonding. This report examines initiation rites in the Canadian Airborne Regiment, beginning with a brief description of the Regiment and then examining formal initiation to the regiment- the Airborne Indoctrination Course, informal initiation rites, Airborne initiation rites are discussed in detail by using models developed in anthropology to describe rites of passage in traditional societies, rites that occur in three stages, the first occurring when the initiates' former identity is stripped away and they are set apart and made very similar to one another. They are then "leveled" into a homogeneous group, by suppressing individuality, and thus encouraging an investment in the group. They then enter the liminal phase of the rite, where events become parodies and inversions of real life, a stage in which group bonding is reinforced as the initiates undergo standard processes of testing and humiliation. Finally, they are reincorporated into the group as members of the regiment. We then look at hazing and other rites of passage in the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and conclude with a discussion of the use of extreme initiation in primary group bonding.

Abstract
This dissertation provides a socio-historic analysis of the ethos of war crimes criminalization articulated in three general historical eras: the First World War era,
the Second World War era, and the contemporary era. Both primary (i.e. archival material, legislative documents, and law) and secondary (i.e. journals articles and books)
materials informed this analysis. Although these three eras were not entirely discrete (e.g. criminalization during the Second World War era was influenced by the
failure of Leipzig trial that followed the First World War, and policy decisions following the Second World War had a great deal of impact upon the criminalization
process in the contemporary era) or unified (varying levels of disagreement occurred amongst important lobby groups and policy makers in each era), important policy
shifts occurred in each period as the Canadian government attempted to grapple with the issue of war crimes and war criminals. The Canadian criminalization of war
crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide was marked by six prominent features: (1) the sine qua non of the criminalization process in each era was a distinct
conception of the nature of war crimes and/or war criminals; (2) the articulation and application of war crimes policies rarely matched; (3) Canadian identity shaped
the criminalization process, and the criminalization process helped to shape Canadian identity; (4) although a distinct conception of war criminals was prominent
in each era, remnants of past conceptions of war criminals still influenced the criminalization process; (5) an examination of the criminalization of war crimes within
the military justice system is essential in order to understand the criminalization process writ large; (6) it is impossible to fully separate the different justice systems
in play during the criminalization process. (source: http://mspace.lib.umanitoba.ca/handle/1993/4873, accessed 12 July 2016)

JAG is proud to announce that the former Judge Advocate General, MGen (Ret’d) Wolfe, was appointed  to the rank of Knight of the French Legion
of Honour, as of 18 August 2014, for his service in the liberation of France in WWII.

Major-General (ret’d) Wolfe served in Normandy as a signalman with the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry until he was wounded and repatriated to Canada
 on 12 Aug 1944. He was released in 1945, but re-enrolled in the Canadian Army as an Artillery officer for the Korean conflict.  After this service,
Major-General (ret’d) Wolfe continued his studies in law school while still serving. He completed his studies in 1954 and was recruited into the Office
of the Judge Advocate General. His distinguished career as a Legal Officer culminated in his appointment as Canada’s seventh Judge Advocate
General for the Canadian Forces, serving in that capacity from 1976 to 1982.

We all take great pride in General Wolfe’s accomplishment.

On behalf of the Office of the JAG, the entire JAG family and the CAF, I offer my sincere condolences on Jack's passing. While I never had the pleasure of meeting Jack, his reputation as a tremendous legal officer, professional and leader preceded him. When I joined the Legal Branch in 1990, MGen Wolfe was revered almost to the point of being mythical. Although he was very humble, he clearly set the standard for the position of JAG and he certainly left a major and lasting legacy for the OJAG and the CAF. I thank him and his family for their service to, and many sacrifices for, the OJAG, the CAF, Canada and the rule of law. His spirit lives on. Take care and FIAT JUSTITIA (Let Justice Prevail).

___________Obituary: John Wolfe: 2 May 1924 - 26 February 2017

John Wolfe May 2, 1924 - February 26, 2017

John Wolfe May 2, 1924 - February 26, 2017 A driven, passionate, private, and acerbically witty man - John (or Jack to friends)
came from humble beginnings in Winnipeg Manitoba, an adopted boy raised mainly by his father. John was a man of serious
convictions and principles - still, he lived most days enjoying a good chuckle with loyal companions and family.

John went to war as an underage soldier in 1941. During the war he went through terrible experiences - like all war veterans.
He himself was injured by an exploding shell in Normandy and suffered the consequences of that shrapnel for the rest of his life.

His academic achievements are particularly worthy given that he left high school to join the war effort. On return from war to Canada,
he re-joined the military entering their university training plan and ultimately won the Gold Medal for Law from the University of
Manitoba. He later returned to studies to obtain his Master International Law from King's College, University of London, UK.

As a lawyer within the Canadian Armed Forces his career took him all over the world. He represented Canada at the Geneva Conventions
and other conferences across the globe. He was ultimately promoted to Judge Advocate General of Canada with the rank of Major General.
Soon after leaving the military, he became Chairman of the Canadian Pension Commission in PEI. During his career he contributed to a
number of developments in Canadian military law, United Nations agreements on Laws of War and while in Tanzania he was a major author
in the National Defence Act for Tanzania. He was appointed to the Queen's Counsel (QC) for these accomplishments and received many
other recognitions over his years.

Aside from his academic and professional credits, he was infamous for his wit and charm in social circles and with his family. John did not
do anything in moderation - a hard worker professionally and in the home (many renovations!), a voracious reader, lover of music and the arts.
Mostly, he loved to be with family and friends sharing food, drink and a lot of laughter. Many knew John as the decisive, strong and convicted
soldier/lawyer. But he was a romantic at heart and would melt over music, art, poetry and family.

His first wife Catherine was with him through law school, 4 children and many years before she passed. Emily and John married later in life,
bringing John Francis, his only son. And so, his heirs are grateful for his many talents and interests, as they share passions for comedy, music
and the arts. He leaves behind five children (Andrea (spouse Jack Little), Dr. Cathy (spouse Michael Cullen), Lorraine (spouse Phillip Schatz),
Leslie (spouse Brian Sneddon) and John), six grandchildren (Mark & Brette, Megan, Katie, Matthew and Melanie) and three great grand children.

John was definitely his own man - and he will be greatly missed.  (source: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ottawacitizen/obituary.aspx?n=john-wolfe&pid=184344997, accessed 4 March 2017)


John went to war as an underage soldier in 1941. During the war he went through terrible experiences - like all war veterans. He himself was injured by an exploding shell in Normandy and suffered the consequences of that shrapnel for the rest of his life.

His academic achievements are particularly worthy given that he left high school to join the war effort. On return from war to Canada, he re-joined the military entering their university training plan and ultimately won the Gold Medal for Law from the University of Manitoba. He later returned to studies to obtain his Master International Law from King's College, University of London, UK.

As a lawyer within the Canadian Armed Forces his career took him all over the world. He represented Canada at the Geneva Conventions and other conferences across the globe. He was ultimately promoted to Judge Advocate General of Canada with the rank of Major General. Soon after leaving the military, he became Chairman of the Canadian Pension Commission in PEI. During his career he contributed to a number of developments in Canadian military law, United Nations agreements on Laws of War and while in Tanzania he was a major author in the National Defence Act for Tanzania. He was appointed to the Queen's Counsel (QC) for these accomplishments and received many other recognitions over his years. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ottawacitizen/obituary.aspx?n=john-wolfe&pid=184344997#sthash.yzs7AinA.dpuf

Summary
"Most Canadian military professionals are likely at a loss to explain the notion of ‘active service’ even though
it figures prominently in our core defence legislation. As such, this paper seeks to provide a better understanding
of this term with a view to influencing a much-needed, comprehensive redrafting of the National Defence Act.
A review of the evolution of Canadian military response shows that despite a clear understanding in the past, the
government has become inconsistent in its application of the law as concerns placing the Canadian Forces on
active service. Furthermore, the contemporary situation suggests that there is no longer a need for this terminology
as it has been superceded by the more meaningful concept of ‘special duty service’. As a result, this paper
recommends that, unless new legislation is passed to revitalize them, sections 31 and 32 of the National Defence
Act should be removed as irrelevant." - p. i [source: IRC Catalogue , Canadian Forces College,  accessed on 1 December 2011]

These and more, are issues for the incoming defence chief.

He’s largely unknown to both the public and the army, but he’s a new broom, and DND can always do with a clean sweep.

At ceremonies marking the retirement of one chief of defence and the inauguration of another, it was announced that Judge Advocate General (JAG) Blaise Cathcart was to be promoted to major-general.

This seems a curious message when the armed forces are being downsized and positions eliminated, budgets reduced. The promotion seems both unnecessary and provocative: The JAG will do the same job, with the same staff, from the same office, with the same bosses. So why is he being promoted in a time of austerity?

As a major-general, the JAG will still have 150 lawyers at his beck and call, and will outrank a brigade commander who is responsible for up to 5,000 soldiers.

The JAG’s department is one of the few growth industries in the military (along with Public Affairs), and one wonders how this sits with Lawson, now that he’s Canada’s top military person.

Thank you, Mr. Chair and honourable committee members. It's my pleasure to speak to you today about the amendments in Bill
 C-426, and particularly to explain some of the practical impacts those proposed amendments would have on the Canadian Forces.

I would like to make it very clear that it's not my purpose today to question the importance of the legislation or the importance of
the amendments that have been proposed, but to ensure that members of the committee are aware of some potential implications
 the proposed amendments have on the Canadian Forces and the Canadian military justice system. If I could classify this information,
I would put it in the category that my friend Mr. Hawkes has--as unintended consequences of the proposed amendments.

First of all, as you know, the definition of journalist is defined in the proposed legislation to include any “person who contributes
regularly and directly to the gathering, writing, production or dissemination of information for the public through any media, or
anyone who assists such a person”.

As it's currently worded, this definition would apply to members of the Canadian Forces who are involved in activities that are
not journalistic in nature. This would include members whose primary duties involve the gathering and dissemination of
information to the public, such as public affairs officers. As well, the definition would include members who make regular
contributions to Canadian Forces publications for the purpose of raising awareness on topical issues such as military personnel
policies and information on compensation and benefits. Furthermore, anyone who provides assistance to those who gather and
disseminate this type of information, such as computer technicians or administrative clerks, would also be covered by the definition.

The potential impact of having the definition of journalist apply to Canadian Forces members arises from the conflict that could
emerge between the protections proposed under this bill and the obligation on military members to report breaches of discipline.
Military regulations require members of the Canadian Forces to report to the proper authority any infringement of the pertinent
statutes, regulations, rules, orders, and instructions governing conduct. Given the broad definition proposed for journalists, there
is a real potential that conflicts will arise.

Second, as you are aware, the proposed amendments will apply not only to judicial proceedings but also to non-judicial
proceedings over which Parliament has jurisdiction. Under the National Defence Act, that would include boards of inquiry, which
can be held both in and outside of Canada. According to the proposed amendments, in order to compel journalists to disclose the
identity of a source during a non-judicial proceeding such as a board of inquiry, it would be necessary to adjourn the proceeding
and seek a judicial order. The potential logistical impact of this requirement is compounded by both the breadth of who can be
considered a journalist, if the present definition is maintained, as well as the fact that boards of inquiry can proceed outside of
Canada. There would be a requirement to seek an order back in Canada in order to proceed with that inquiry.

Furthermore, when determining whether it is in the public interest to compel the disclosure of a source, a judge is required
under proposed paragraph 39.1(5)(b) to consider three factors, which have already been discussed: the outcome of the litigation,
the freedom of information, and the impact of the journalist's testimony on the source.

The narrow construction of these factors would make it difficult to apply them in the context of a non-judicial proceeding, such
as a board of inquiry, which is an investigative tool, not a tool for litigation, or to consider other potentially relevant factors, such
as operational or national security, which would be very relevant in the types of non-judicial proceedings that could arise in the
context of the Canadian Forces.

Honourable committee members, I would like to thank you for allowing me this opportunity to raise these practical matters with
you. I'd be very happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you.

Expressed in a different way, the analysis shows that the QR&O fail to fully satisfy three of the four legal criteria - democratic legitimation,
legal security/certainty and transparency of the legislative process. Closer scrutiny of this result reveals that the QR&O’s weak showing can
be attributed to three principal deficiencies that relate to its development process as well as aspects of its legal framework: (1) insufficient
public engagement; (2) insufficient parliamentary participation; and (3) insufficient accessibility of the QR&O. (p. 35).

YANAGISAWA, Sue, "Ex-cadet found not guilty of sex assaults", Kingston Whig-Standard, Officer Cadet Alexander Whitehead;

Asked after court if the decision means his status at RMC will be reinstated and his graduation permitted, Maj. David Hodson,
one-half of Whitehead's defence team, said "that would be the right and honourable thing to do."

But both he and Maj. Edmund Thomas, the other half of the defence team, said it's up to RMC to make that decision.

"Officer Cadet Whitehead should not be punished for an acquittal," Hodson added. But he said the role of the lawyers
and military judge Lt.-Col. L.V. d'Auteuil in the matter has now ended.

In his decision, Lt.-Col. d'Auteuil noted that "the prosecution's case relies, more than anything else, on the testimony
of the two complainants." He also emphasized that the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Whitehead
sexually assaulted the women in September and October 2013, respectively, and that there was no consent, lay entirely
with the Crown prosecution team of majors Maureen Pecknold, Annie-Claude Samson and Jeff Peck: "That never

YAP, James, "Aut deportare aut judicare: current topics in international humanitarian law in Canada" in Derek Jinks, Jackson N. Maogoto, 1975-, Solon Solomon, eds., Applying international humanitarian law in judicial and quasi-judicial bodies : international and domestic aspects, The Hague : Asser Press, 2014, vii, 508 p., at pp. 355-387, ISBN: 9789462650077;

The Canadian experience with international humanitarian law is dominated by cases involving foreign nationals accused of committing war crimes abroad.
Canada has developed a system whereby these individuals can be pursued either through criminal prosecutions, or through immigration proceedings modeled
after the Exclusion Clause in Article 1F(a) of the Refugee Convention. In practice, the immigration remedies are far more frequently pursued. In the context
of a debate that is relevant in many countries, this chapter examines the comparative characteristics of the two types of procedures and the merits of relying,
 as Canada does, almost exclusively on the immigration option. The chapter also reviews other current topics in international humanitarian law in Canada, for
 instance the domestic civil liability of a Canadian corporation for complicity in war crimes committed in other countries, as well as the role that norms of
 international humanitarian law play in the extraterritorial application of Canadian constitutional law. The author concludes by calling upon international
 tribunals adjudicating war crimes and crimes against humanity to consider as a useful resource the now extensive body of cases emanating from courts in
 Canada and other countries that have decided similar issues in the context of refugee and immigration proceedings.

___________"Corporate civil liability for war crimes in Canadian courts lessons from Bil'in (Village Council) v. Green Park International Ltd.". (May 210) 8(2) Journal of international criminal justice 631-648;

In many cases of alleged war crimes, a civil action may be an attractive alternative to criminal proceedings, for political, logistical or other reasons. This is
particularly so with respect to corporate conduct, where the mens rea requirements and custodial penal sentences that are hallmarks of typical criminal
justice systems transpose poorly to the corporate context.  However, while the universality principle is by now well-established with respect to criminal
prosecutions in national courts, the picture with respect to civil claims in one country for war crimes committed in another is substantially less clear.
 In this spirit, the author analyses the recent Superior Court of Quebec decision in the case of Bil’in (Village Council) v. Green Park International Ltd.
 There, the plaintiffs sought to claim against two Quebec corporations and  their sole director for participating in war crimes allegedly committed in the
West Bank.  After a careful examination of the decision, it becomes apparent  that such claims may face  significant  legal and practical hurdles in Canada.

Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the Security Council has opened a new avenue for law-making
at the international level by adopting resolutions under Chapter VII of the UN Charter which create new norms
of international law or modify international norms already in force (the normative resolutions). The normative
resolutions analyzed in this study pertain to the areas of counterterrorism and the non-proliferation of weapons
of mass-destruction. The new approach of the Security Council has been examined in light of the Third World
Approaches in International law (TWAIL), as well as from the viewpoint of mainstream lawyers. Furthermore,
15 years of State practice relating to the implementation of these normative resolutions has been studied with
a view to determining whether subsequent State practice confirms the exercise of a law-making function by
the Security Council. Despite some incremental success in promoting international standards in the fight against
terrorism, this thesis illustrates that the Security Council has not succeeded in introducing a new viable form of
law-making. ....[Read the rest at: https://ruor.uottawa.ca/handle/10393/35536, accessed 6 January 2019]

Presentation:

JAG Perspectives on Administrative Law, Criminal Law, and Transnational Justice" is an independent research
initiative, jointly supervised by a representative from the Judge Advocate General (JAG) (pending confirmation) and
members of the Osgoode faculty, including Dean Lorne Sossin.

In support of the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence, the Office of the Judge Advocate
General delivers "independent, operationally focused, solution oriented legal advice and services" across the full
spectrum of military law, and superintends the administration of military justice.

The group will meet with JAG lawyers and officials at the start of the term to receive background materials, select
topics, and the discuss the role and mandate of JAG, as well as on several other occasions as the term progresses to
present work-in-progress and receive feedback. Students may choose between pre-selected topics of interest from
amongst the three pillars of JAG's work: Administrative Law, Military Justice (criminal law), and Operational Law (the
rule of law in an international context). Papers may take the form of research memoranda, options papers, and so on.
Students may work individually or in teams, depending on the topics and the number of students involved.

Evaluation: Evaluation will be based on the written research (70%), the presentation of that research (20%) and
participation in the group sessions (10%). [p. 70]

Description: [CRAIG OLIVER] (Host): Today we'll talk to a critic who says [DOUG YOUNG] is going in the wrong direction. When we return, Doug Young.
OLIVER: I am here with Defence Minister Doug Young. Mr. Young, you've reaffirmed the idea of Canada having a fully combat ready force, three services ready
if needed to go to war but are you being too ambitious there? In other words, it's fine to day that's the kind of force we need. Many people agree with you. But
where are the tanks? Where are the submarines? Where are the helicopters? YOUNG: We've changed at the request and upon the recommendation of Mr. Justice
Dixon and his colleagues our approach to all of that. There is no doubt that that was given consideration. Mr. Justice Dixon indicated in his press conference that
yes, they had considered it but they had decided that the military justice system could be reformed and I believe that they are correct. I think it can work the way
they propose that it should, unfettered ability to investigate, much better training, prosecutorial judicial and investigative elements separated one from the other.
But most importantly I think Craig is that we have decided that there will be an oversight and complaint review board made up of three Canadians totally outside
the public service or National Defence or the Canadian Forces. They will take a close look at what is going on with the military justice system and the military
police and they will report directly to me as Minister of National Defence. In other words, it is completely outside the chain of command. We also have set up
an Ombudsman to handle complaints from people who think that they haven't been dealt with appropriately. So there are two or three mechanisms in there that
I think will be very useful in avoiding the kinds of serious problems we have faced in the past few years. (source: http://primo-pmtna01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library
