War criminals in Canada
The proper handling of war criminals in Canada with regard to criminal prosecution or extradition has been the subject of ongoing debate.〔(Ottawa agrees to revisit case of suspected Nazi war criminal Vladimir Katriuk )〕
==History==
Following World War II, Canada participated as one of the Allied Nations in the prosecution of war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials and the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal.〔 Under Canada's War Trials Act, proceedings against war criminals lasted till 1948.
During the 1950s, anti-communist political climate turned public opinion away from the atrocities of the second world war and resulted in an immigration policy which was more permissive to former Nazis. During this period, approximately 40,000 such individuals could more easily demonstrate a non-communist affiliation and therefore emigrated to Canada from Germany. Among the influx of Nazis were an unknown number of suspected war criminals. Ramon Hnatyshyn stated "Canada would not be a haven for those who would commit or who have committed crimes against humainity".〔The Honorable Mr Ramon Hnatyshyn〕〔Nuremberg Forty Years Later: The Struggle Against Injustice in Our Time By Irwin Cotler, McGill University. Faculty of Law, InterAmicus (Association) p35-36〕 Despite growing awareness and some legislative changes it soon became clear that despite having the required legislation, Canada still lacked the political will to prosecute its most senior war criminals.
During the 1990s, suspected war criminals from more recent conflicts came to Canada. These included individuals wanted in connection with war crimes in Bosnia, some of the perpetrators of genocide in Rwanda, members of the Colombian secret police and from Sri Lanka. The treatment of these suspected individuals was seen to shed light on the prevalent attitudes towards suspected World War II war criminals. Trying these individuals whose lacked support networks within Canada and whose atrocities were still fresh in the public's memory and most importantly were unlikely to die soon of old age became a priority. They were hunted and either tried or deported. Information on World War II suspected criminals was suppressed by Canada and the United States. Some convicted war criminals were allowed to reside while others escaped due process.〔〔
