  • CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER the NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES and MUSINGS of a FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W
    39 1 CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER THE NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES AND MUSINGS OF A FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W. Drapeau' Ottawa The Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms recognizes the existence of the militaryjustice system and its own tribunals operating in parallel to the Canadian criminal law system. Yet, there continues to be an absolutepaucity of any reference works on military law and members of the Canadian military bar are seldom heard or read. This article aims atfilling the void, at least in part. In writing this article, the author, who servedfor 34 years in general staff and command positions in the Canadian Forces, had two general purposes in mind: a) to present the general reader with a general overview ofthe history, customs, organization, and structure ofthe military personnel system, and b) to provide a reference work presenting a detailed view ofthe Code ofMilitary Discipline, both in its contents and its workings. Finally, in light ofthe extensive changes in 1999 to the National Defence Act and the accompanying regulations, the author concludes by reviewing the nature and impact of each of the punishments that may be imposed by a military tribunal or the Court Martial Appeal Court ofCanada to those who are subject to the Code ofService Discipline. La Charte canadienne des droits et libertés reconnaît la eo-existence d'un système de justice militaire avec ses propres tribunaux en parallèle avec le droit pénal canadien. Cependant, même si de nombreux livres ont décrit et interprété l'histoire militaire canadienne, il existe présentement aucun ouvrage sur le droit militaire et les praticiens de ce droit se font que très rarement entendre.

  • National Security, Human Rights and the Fed- Eral Court
    National Security, Human Rights and the Fed- eral Court Speech delivered by the Honourable Anne Mactavish before the International Commission of Jurists in Ottawa, on Febru- ary 4, 20131 Good afternoon. I have been asked to speak to you today about the work of the Federal Court in the national security field, and the efforts that we make to balance national security and human rights. In 2004, Justice Ian Binnie, then of the Supreme Court of Canada, gave a speech to the Hong Kong Conference on the Criminal Law. He concluded his remarks by describing the conflict between hu- man rights and national security as being €œtruly a clash of the titans. In Canada, the task of reconciling these titanic issues falls mainly on the shoulders of a small group of judges of the Federal Court who have been designated by its Chief Justice to exercise the Court's jurisdiction in this area. I am going to speak to you this afternoon about the unique role that Parliament has entrusted to the Chief Justice and designated judges of the Federal Court in connection with national security mat- ters, and the challenges that this presents to these judges as we try to strike a balance between human rights and Canada's national security. Let me start with the caveats. First and foremost, as a sitting judge, it is simply not appropriate for me to debate or comment upon the policy choices which Parliament has made in legislation concerning national security matters. That is a matter for informed debate between Canadian citizens and their Parliamentarians.
