Document Summary
The law and common set of rights is what binds us together. Having human rights assumes you can have rights outside a community, which is not true. Without a community to accept you, you are rightless. During a firefight in a house where khadr is positioned. When the american forces go in, khadr threw a grenade which killed a soldier. Sent to guantanamo bay because he is an unlawful combatant. Deemed to be dangerous but not proven to have committed a crime. Csic questioned khadr and thus violated his rights because they knew he was being held in. Court ruled that his rights had been violated, cdn government needed to seek for repatriation. Cdn government never did even though they violated his rights. Court acknowledged that they could not force the government to repatriate him, only strongly recommend. Shows that rights are only privileges, because they can be taken away at any time.
