John John: Immunity from Prosecution for Genocide | Dissident Voice
8.7.14
Immunity from Prosecution for Genocide | Dissident Voice: In order to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Canada’s Parliament had to enact legislation to implement its obligations under the Rome Statute.
Canada became the first country in the world to incorporate the obligations of the Rome Statute into its national laws when it adopted the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act (CAHWCA) on June 24, 2000. Canada was then able to ratify the Rome Statute on July 9, 2000.
To ensure that Canada can fully cooperate with ICC proceedings, the CAHWCA also amended existing Canadian laws like the Criminal Code, Extradition Act and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act.
The Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act obliges Canada to arrest and surrender persons sought by the ICC for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
