The Globe and Mail published an op-ed by Michael Byers, the Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at UBC, on Canada’s extradition treaty with China.
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is naive if he thinks an extradition treaty with China could respect human rights. He is even more naive if he thinks that, by negotiating such a treaty, he can exert a positive influence on China – somehow forcing police, prosecutors and judges there to comply with international norms,” Byers wrote.
