Title: The Domestic Implementation of International Law: A Canadian Case Study
Abstract: The domestic implementation of international human rights law in Canada occurs through two primary paths. The first path is through the formal domestic implementation of international treaties that have been signed by the federal government. The second path for the implementation of international human rights law in Canada occurs through the adoption of human rights norms upheld by Canadian human rights law, as well as the organizations responsible for enforcing the rights of Canadians. The impact of international law on human rights in Canada is determined primarily by the structure of Canada's government and its Constitution. The power to enter into binding international bilateral and multilateral agreements is demonstrated by Canada in its capacity as an independent entity with international legal personality. The Charter protects fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, thought, expression, religion, association, peaceful assembly and mobility within Canada.
