[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:

[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:

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.

When Toronto filmmaker Barry Stevens asked Moreno-Ocampo in his film, Prosecutor, if the ICC would pursue a country like Canada over its role

“We’ll check if there are crimes and also we’ll check if a Canadian judge is doing a case or not . . . if they don’t, the court has to intervene. That’s the

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 othe
r 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....

The US DoD Law of War Manual notes that the law of war manuals of Australia, Canada, Germany and the UK were ‘helpful’ in the preparation of the Manual.68
The international group of experts that drafted the Tallinn Manual 1.0 note that they
‘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.

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

 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.

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.

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 the
superintendence 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.]

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.

THOMPSON, Allan, "Army 'savages' face axe Our peacekeepers accused in Bosnia scandal", Toronto Star, Jan 18, 1997, p.A.1;

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.


____________ "Delay in shooting probe set up torture, inquiry told",  Toronto Star, Mar 11, 1997, p. A.9;

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.

___________"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.

In it, they appealed to every Quebecer serving in the Canadian armed forces to prepare to switch their loyalty to a Quebec military ``the'' day

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.

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.
