REVIEW OF ACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN COURTS, ATTITUDES OF THE CANADIAN PUBLIC, AND POSITIONS OF THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED NATIONS REGARDING EXTRADITION, HIJACKING, SABOTAGE, AND PROTECTION OF DIPLOMATS.
Abstract
FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF CANADA, THE LAW IN THIS FIELD IS STILL VERY MUCH THE COMMON LAW AS INTERPRETED BY THE ENGLISH COURTS. BY AND LARGE CANADA HAS BEEN FREE OF TERRORIST ACTS DESCRIBED ABOVE ON ITS OWN TERRITORY, SO THAT IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO SEE HOW, AND ON WHAT BASIS, THE CANADIAN COURTS HAVE ACTED WHEN CONFRONTED WITH REQUESTS FOR EXTRADITION.
