Book excerpt: 'Canada's cooperation with the United States of America (U.S.) on matters relating to people claiming refugee protection has been a subject of significant debate over the past several decades. This paper provides an overview of the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America for cooperation in the examination of refugee status claims from nationals of third countries, commonly referred to as the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA). It examines the fundamental aspects of the STCA, the historical and international context of the safe third country concept, and the legal challenges that the STCA has faced since its implementation. It also considers potential changes to the agreement in light of recent increases in irregular border crossings, the temporary border closure during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a July 2020 decision by the Federal Court of Canada that found the STCA to be unconstitutional'--Introduction, page 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Agreement represent avoidance or evasion of Canada's international obligations? Are such nuanced distinctions even appropriate in the domain of human rights - where the stakes are not money - but liberty, security and life itself? In the context of the Agreement, the relevance of these questions turns on the extent to which the protection that this Agreement allows Canada to withhold can. [...] 60 of the Immigration and Refugee Pro- tection Act affirms the principle that "a minor child shall be detained only as a measure of last resort, taking into account the other applicable grounds and criteria including the best interests of the child." The best interests of the child do not formally constrain migration-related deci- sions in the US. [...] The UNHCR now tentatively supports measures to "ensure an appropriate allocation of States responsibility for determining refuge status."29 The more contentious aspect of this seg- ment of the Preamble are the putative correla- tions between the Agreement and the "orderly handling of asylum applications," and between the Agreement and "burden sharing." The phrase "burden sharing" portrays refugees. [...] Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America for Cooperation in the Examination of Refugee Status Claims from Nationals of Third Countries. [...] Section 3(3)(e) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that the Act should be interpreted and applied in a manner that "supports the commitment of the Government of Canada to enhance the vitality of the English and French linguisitic minority communities in Canada." 21.

Book excerpt: Canada and the United States have signed a treaty that restricts the ability of a person seeking refuge to do so in either country if s/he has first passed through the other. The Safe Third Country Agreement [the Agreement or STCA] was signed by the two parties in Washington, D.C. on September 5, 2002 and it came into force on December 29, 2004. The Agreement raises serious concerns on a number of fronts; I will focus on how this treaty will affect Canada's relationships and obligations within the Americas. My concerns break down along two principal lines: 1) Canada's legal obligations to persecuted persons, and; 2) The role this treaty potentially plays in undermining a democratically based foreign policy towards Latin America.

This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean refugee crisis presents states across Europe with a common security challenge: how to intervene responsibly in mitigation and support. This book seeks to advance the UN concept of ‘human security’ in showing how a human security approach to the crisis can effectively conceptualize and respond to the intricacies of the challenges faced. It argues for a politics of solidarity in proffering integrated solutions that call out the failure of top-down, statist security measures. Leading international authors from a range of disciplines document key dimensions of the crisis, including: the legal mechanisms enabling or blocking asylum; the biopolitical systems for managing displaced peoples; and the multiple, overlapping historical precedents of today’s challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis examines the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States from the perspective of Canada's obligations vis-a-vis asylum seekers under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Safe Third Country Agreement requires asylum seekers to lodge their refugee claims in the first country of arrival, as between Canada and the United States. Asylum seekers on the United States side of the border who are seeking to enter Canada for the purpose of claiming refugee status will be deflected to the United States to lodge their claims there. By deflecting asylum seekers in this manner, Canada effectively conscripts the United States to carry out its obligations under the Charter to furnish procedural and substantive protections to asylum seekers. This thesis examines certain features of the United States asylum system to which asylum seekers deflected under the Safe Third Country Agreement would be subjected, in order to determine whether, according to relevant Charter jurisprudence, deflection constitutes a deprivation of security of the person under section 7 of the Charter and whether such deprivation can be justified under section 1." --

Book excerpt: CANADIAN COUNCIL FOR REFUGEES CLOSING THE FRONT DOOR ON REFUGEES REPORT ON THE FIRST YEAR OF THE SAFE THIRD COUNTRY AGREEMENT December 2005 The Canadian Council for Refugees is a non-profit umbrella organization committed to the rights and protection of refugees in Canada and around the world and to the settlement of refugees and immigrants in Canada. [...] The Agreement was strenuously opposed by refugee advocates on both sides of the border, who challenged the contention that the US is always a safe country for refugees, denounced the purpose and effect of reducing the number of refugees who can seek Canada's protection and predicted that the Agreement would lead to an increase in smuggling and irregular crossing at the border. [...] The Canadian government is achieving its goal of significantly reducing the number of refugee claimants arriving in Canada, leading us to ask: "How few claimants is few enough for the government of Canada?" The effect of interdiction is to render the human rights violations suffered by asylum seekers invisible in the country of intended asylum, since they never arrive. [...] Although the US and Canadian governments expressed their commitment to enhancing the international protection of refugees through the Agreement, there has in fact been little indication that the governments have monitored the ways in which the Agreement affects the rights of refugees. [...] The table also highlights the extent of the drop in the number of claims since the advent of safe third country.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In June 2007, the Fraser Institute held a conference in Toronto, Ontario, titled, "Immigration Policy, Border Controls, and the Terrorist Threat In Canada and the United States."The chapters in this volume, which arose from this conference, raise fundamental questions about weaknesses in Canada's current immigration policies and procedures." "The contributors to this volume identify serious threats and weaknesses in the immigration, asylum, and border regimes from both Canadian and American perspectives. The authors are not opposed to effectively managed immigration or allowing genuine refugees who pose no security threat to enter the country through a well-vetted system. All believe that the vast majority of immigrants pose no danger, but are simply seeking to improve their freedom and prosperity. Nevertheless given the stakes raised by terrorist attacks, the entry of even a small number of potentially dangerous individuals should warrant major attention and policy review."--BOOK JACKET.
