	Freedom Party International - Consent 6 - December 1998
		In fact, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been explicitly created to project an illusion of protecting individual freedom, while actually ensuring that individual freedom is the one thing it will not protect.
		Every arbitrarily restricted personal or economic freedom in Canada has been declared to be "democratically justifiable" as being for the "good of society", even when it has openly been admitted that the restrictions come at the expense of individual freedoms and rights.
		In a free democracy, individual freedom would be protected, not threatened, by a defined, limited and subservient government whose primary role would be to provide national and civil defence and to prevent some individuals and groups in society from imposing their preferences and choices upon others against their will.

		Section 16.1 is not to be confused with subsection 16(1), which is part of section 16 and goes back to 1982.
		In said case, the court considered the argument that section 16.1, as well as subsections 16(2) and 18(2), require bilingual municipal laws, particularly when the minority language population of a municipality is significant.
		Section 43 of the Constitution Act, 1982 was the part of the amending formula used to add section 16.1 to the Charter.

	Charters and Constitution-making Comparing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the European Charter of ...
		Charters or bills of rights are central ingredients in the constitutional make-up of modern democratic polities.
		In addition to conventionally accepted provisions, which most charters and bills of rights hold, and which pertain to such rights and freedoms as the right to life, security, and dignity, there are numerous articles that seek to respond directly to contemporary issues and challenges.
		In the Charter the diversity of Europe is referred to in the preamble as well as in particular in Article 22 which states that “The Union shall respect cultural, religious and linguistic diversity.” There are no explicit provisions on official languages or minority language educational rights such as in the Canadian Charter.

	Human Rights Law in B.C.: Religious Discrimination
		Ross from his teaching position, infringed upon Ross's Charter rights to freedom of expression and religion, such a measure was justified by the pressing and substantial objective of eliminating discrimination in the provision of educational services to the public.
		However, freedom of religion will not usually be a sufficient justification for conduct that discriminates against others in areas of public life to which human rights legislation applies, including employment, public education, and public services.
		Sections 37(2)(c)(i) and (ii) permit the Tribunal to order the person who contravened the Code to take steps to ameliorate the effects of a discriminatory practice, and/or to adopt and implement a special program to ameliorate the conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups if there is evidence of a pattern and practice of discrimination.

	ASSDA - Rights in Australia 1991-1992
		A particular feature of the Charter project is its approach to measurement of the strength (firmness) and stability of attitudes towards and support for civil liberties when confronted with competing perspectives on a given issue.
		The Australian Rights Project models the Charter Project in a number of respects: a national and an elite sample, with the latter drawn from some members of the judiciary and various sections of the legal profession and legislative representatives; data collected by telephone interview from a central facility using CATI; and a mail follow-up questionnaire.
		To this core were added questions on legal rights and freedom of choice issues, attitudes towards, and the rights of, racial and religious minorities, and a section dealing in some detail with the issue of a bill of rights for Australia.

	Leap In The Dark: Canadian Politics: What Are The Conservatives Conserving?
		Although you might find that rhetoric a little over the top, it's hard to argue with their claim that the Conservative party is attempting to role back the clock when it comes to the level of financial support offered to women's issues by the government.
		Harper is very quite to condemn places like China over its human rights violations, but his government is cutting funding to programs which work with woman to ensure their basic safety, health, and well being.
		Their values and standards are exactly the sort of thing that the legislation that created the Status of Woman Canada was designed to fight, and that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms section of our Constitution was created to defend us against.

	Judicial Reform
		Acknowledging individual rights and freedoms with respect to arrest, search and seizure, and privacy in the affairs of Armenia’s citizens is extremely important.
		Some of the key issues to consider are increased police powers, rights to seize private property before trial, judicial oversight of police operations, control of police wiretapping and electronic surveillance practices, and sentencing standards for organized criminals.
		It seems clear that the drafters of the concept paper are cognizant of western concepts of privacy, ownership of property, freedom to contract, inherent civil rights, the role of the judiciary in protecting individual rights, and the importance of judicial independence.

		He said: "While a party may vindicate his own constitutional rights, he may not seek vindication for the rights of others." Noting that an abortion requires the services of a physician, he felt that such an operation is "not 'private' in the ordinary usage of that word.
		During 1988, the Canadian Supreme Court declared the Federal law regulating abortion (Section 287 of the Criminal Code) was in conflict with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms -- the Canadian constitution.
		Section 223 of the Criminal Code states that "a person commits homicide when he causes injury to a child before or during its birth as a result of which the child dies after becoming a human being.

	The Voyageurs: Canadian Soccer Supporters - Québec Independence
		Also by section Sixteen One (1993) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the equality of French and English in the Province of New Brunswick is entrenched in the Canadian Constitution.
		The alternative would be a sort of dissolution of the Canadian confederation and a reassembly similar to the EU.
		Canada is a pretty artificial and decentralized country and the idea that Newfoundlanders, Quebecers and BCers should somehow all be part of the same country is a bit of a stretch IMO.

	Africa 1
		The trend towards maturation of a democratic culture and respect for human rights was confirmed by the successful second and largely problem-free all-race elections held in May, and the smooth succession of Nelson Mandela by former deputy president Thabo Mbeki as president and head of state.
		Other donors seemed to reject the "full belly" thesis that civil and political rights were luxuries that could be put aside until the economy reached a certain degree of success, and acknowledged that meaningful exercise of economic and social rights in fact required principled protection of civil and political rights.
		But Britain continued to donate generously to governments with patchy democracy and human rights records, including Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia where the abridgement of civil and political rights in the name of development and national unity were used by the political elite as a mechanism for preserving their own power and personal enrichment.

		Despite avowals of the Turkish military's relative innocence in the phenomenon of human rights abuse, a senior U.S. official in Turkey acknowledged that "the Army and the Jandarma are intermeshed," and admitted that as a result,it would be difficult to relieve Army troops of their responsibility for specific human rights abuses.

	Web Accessibility Law in Canada
		As such, it is the position of this essay that Canadian accessibility laws apply equally to the internet and that internet services should be just as accessible and barrier free to the disabled as the law currently requires of bricks and mortar services.
		The application of the Canadian human rights legislation is not as clearly set out, and it is possible, though perhaps not likely, that it could be interpreted to apply only to physical spaces, the way a lower court interpreted the Americans With Disabilities Act in the Southwest Airlines case.
		In other words, Canadian law already recognizes that undue hardship is based on circumstances at the time of the complaint, not at the time of the hearing – and SOCOG has applied this principle to the law of web accessibility.
