Rethinking Suresh: Refoulement to Torture Under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms
No full textThis article takes the European Court of Human
Rights’ decision in Saadi v. Italy and uses it as an
opportunity to re-examine the Canadian case of Suresh
v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration).
The author argues that the national security exception
in Suresh is no longer tenable in light of subsequent
developments in both international and Canadian law.
The author concludes that the Supreme Court of
Canada should reject the Suresh exception at its first
opportunity and adopt an approach to review of
refoulement cases similar to that under the United
Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and
the European Convention for the Protection of Human
Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

Suresh Chandra on Historiography of Civilisation: With reference to Dravidian Civilisation
No full textThis paper attempts to give a critical appraisal of Professor Suresh Chandra’s views on Historiography of Civilization with reference to Dravidian Civilization. “Historiography of Indian Civilization: Harappans, Dravidians, Aryans and Gandhi’s freedom struggle” (published in JICPR June 1996) and “Demythologizing History: Dravidians in Relation to Harappans and the Aryans” (presented in the seminar on Dravidian Philosophy organized by Dravidian University, Kuppam) are the two significant works which are devoted to Historiography of civilization by Prof. Suresh Chandra. This paper mainly confines to the first article since the second one, as the author himself stated, is an offshoot of the first

The Suresh Case and Unimplemented Treaty Norms
No full textThis paper examines the role of unimplemented international treaty norms in the Canadian domestic legal system. The discussion focuses on the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Suresh , which is first investigated in some detail. In a unanimous judgement, it was held that the untransformed International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment ought to inform the interpretation of the principles of fundamental justice in section 7 of the Charter and assist in deciding whether the exercise of power to deport under the Immigration Act was constitutional, given that the appellant could face torture if refoulé. The author refers to other recent decisions from the country's highest court where unimplemented treaty obligations were used in the interpretation of Canada's domestic law, namely, the Baker case in 1999 and the Hudson case in 2001. In conclusion, these developments are put in the broader contemporary strategy favouring contextual legislative interpretation, which includes resorting to international law, a trend that can be traced back to the adoption of the Charter in 1982.Ce texte examine les normes internationales issues de traités non implantés et leur rôle en droit interne canadien. La discussion se concentre sur la décision de la Cour suprême du Canada dans l'affaire Suresh, qui est tout d'abord analysée en détail. Dans un jugement unanime, on a décidé que le Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques et la Convention contre la torture et autres peines ou traitements cruels, inhumains ou dégradants, qui ne sont pas mis en œuvre au Canada, devraient aider à l'interprétation des principes de justice fondamentale sous l'article 7 de la Charte et à savoir si l'exercice du pouvoir de déporter en vertu de la Loi sur l'immigration était constitutionnel, vu la possibilité de torture en cas de refoulement. L'auteur voit d'autres décisions récentes où le plus haut tribunal du pays a considéré ces obligations conventionnelles non transformées lors de l'interprétation de lois canadiennes, soit les causes Baker en 1999 et Hudson en 2001. En conclusion, il est suggéré que ces développements s'inscrivent dans la stratégie générale moderne favorisant l'interprétation législative contextuelle, qui comprend le recours au droit international, une tendance forte depuis l'adoption de la Charte en 1982.Beaulac Stéphane.

No full textMaintaining attention at a task-relevant spatial location while making eye-movements necessitates a rapid, saccade-synchronized shift of attentional modulation from the neuronal population representing the task-relevant location before the saccade to the one representing it after the saccade. Currently, the precise time at which spatial attention becomes fully allocated to the task-relevant location after the saccade remains unclear. Using a fine-grained temporal analysis of human peri-saccadic detection performance in an attention task, we show that spatial attention is fully available at the task-relevant location within 30 milliseconds after the saccade. Subjects tracked the attentional target veridically throughout our task: i.e. they almost never responded to non-target stimuli. Spatial attention and saccadic processing therefore co-ordinate well to ensure that relevant locations are attentionally enhanced soon after the beginning of each eye fixation.When we look at a scene, our gaze does not move continuously across it. Instead, our eyes move discontinuously, shifting gaze rapidly from point to point to focus on different locations in the scene. These eye movements are known as saccades, and during them the brain temporarily and selectively stops processing visual information. In the brain, a particular area of a scene is represented by different neurons before and after a saccade. Paying attention to a relevant location in a scene across an eye movement therefore requires the brain to shift its attentional effects from the neurons that represented that location in the scene before the saccade to the set of neurons that do so after the saccade. Ideally, this shift should happen rapidly and be synchronized with the eye movement. Exactly how long it takes for attention to emerge at a relevant location after a saccade was not clear because attention had not been recorded on a fine enough time-scale immediately after an eye movement. Yao et al. have now addressed this issue in a series of experiments that asked volunteers to focus their eyes on a fixed point. The volunteers had to follow the point with their eyes as it jumped to a new location, and at the same time had to look out for a change in the movement of a pattern of random dots. The results reveal that attention is fully available at the relevant location within 30 milliseconds after the saccade. In fact, the 30-millisecond delay in the emergence of attention matches the period during which vision is suppressed during a saccade. Thus, the change in the brain’s focus of attention coordinates with the saccadic eye movement to ensure that attention can be fixed on a relevant location as soon as possible after the eye movement ends. More studies are now needed to investigate how the brain coordinates its attention and eye-movement processes to synchronize the shift in attention with the eye movement
