 Private international law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Private International Law, International Private Law, or Conflict of Laws is that branch of law regulating all lawsuits involving a foreign law element where a difference in result will occur depending on which laws are applied as the lex causae.
International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) http://www.unidroit.org/

 canadian cannabis policy, the impact of criminalization
Current Canadian cannabis policy, de facto as well as dejure, as defined by the law and described by given criminal justice practice, falls into the first category of total prohibition; the criminal law prohibits substance demand (use) as well as its supply under the threat of severe criminal sanctions.
While the amendments suggested might legitimate superficially the government's rhetorical claim for 'reform action', the changes are irrelevant to the prohibitionist ideology of the law as well as the repressive law enforcement practices predominantly against the cannabis user.
It was concluded that one pressure for cannabis policy reform, the drain on police and court resources, had been substantially reduced, while the "impact of criminal conviction on young lives" was not, but had become tolerated as an acceptable cost of the overall policy.
