Compatibility Of The 1954 Convention Relating To The Status Of Stateless Persons With Canada's Legal Framework And Its International Human Rights Obligations

Documents

Description: Canada's decision not to acceed to the 1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons is in part based on Canada’s belief that its legal framework provides sufficient protection for the rights of stateless persons. This report undertakes a systemic and independent assessment of Canada’s position that the Canadian legal framework is in compliance with the 1954 Convention. In particular this report assesses Canada’s constitutional law, legislation, regulations, policies, jurisprudence and common law principles. In cases where Canadian law appears to be incompatible with the 1954 Convention, the report examines whether Canada is required under other international human rights instruments to meet or exceed the minimum standard of treatment in the 1954 Convention.
