Rights Obligations: Canada and Supreme Court

rights obligations: Instead, it's a punishment for the misbehaviour of his country, Canada, toward one of its citizens, according to Toronto Star. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Canada actively participated in a process contrary to its international human rights obligations and contributed to K's ongoing detention so as to deprive him of his right to liberty and security of the person, guaranteed by s. 7 of the Charter, not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. The payout to Khadr is not a reward for his behaviour. Canada contravened the legal rights of one of its citizens and as such should compensate him for the injustice done to him. It's not about Khadr it's about us. The court's penalty is a legal victory for law and order and should be acknowledged as such by every citizen, liberals and conservatives alike because one day, this rule of law might be applied to them.
