Abstract

What are Canada’s responsibilities when its citizens’ rights to life and liberty are violated abroad? This report explores Canada’s obligations under international human rights law as they apply to a current case of Joshua Boyle, age 34, a Canadian citizen from birth, and his wife, Caitlan Coleman, 31, a citizen from birth of the United States of America (US) and their two infant children both born in captivity (the Boyle/Coleman family).
