Canada: khadr v. canada: the supreme court balances charter rights and crown. On january 29, 2010, the supreme court of canada released its much-anticipated decision in khadr v. canada (prime minister), 2010 scc 3.

Rather, the court unanimously held that although mr. khadr"s rights had been violated, it was for the federal executive, and not the courts, to decide how to best provide a remedy for that breach.
