Intervention in the Supreme Court of Canada's Bissonnette case
This article, which follows the authors' intervention in the Bissonnette case before the Supreme Court of Canada, highlights the jurisprudential context surrounding the analytical framework upon which judges are called to base their interpretation and application of Canadian domestic law - in this case, the sentencing regime under sections 7 and 12 of the Canadian Charter - when resorting to the normativity of international law. In addition to cl…
Intervention en matière d’interlégalité dans l’affaire Bissonnette de la Cour suprême du Canada
Faisant suite au mémoire d’intervention des auteur.e.s dans l’affaire Bissonnette de la Cour suprême du Canada, le présent article vise à éclairer le contexte jurisprudentiel entourant la grille d’analyse à laquelle les juges sont invités à souscrire en cas de recours à la normativité de droit international pour interpréter et appliquer le droit interne canadien, en l’occurrence le régime des peines en vertu des articles 7 et 12 de la Charte cana…
The Lotus Case in Context
This chapter addresses the significance of the 1927 case of SS Lotus to assess jurisdiction in international law from a historical perspective.

Second…

Or, to put it differently, through the cognitive process of the human mind, the language of the rule of law has not only represented reality…
