Abstract

The article discusses the Supreme Court of Canada's decision on May 14, 2015 to confirm the Alberta Court of Appeal's order that former prisoner and suspected terrorist Omar Khadr should have been classified as a juvenile and not an adult upon his return to Canada in 2012 after being detained at the U.S. military's Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba. A mistake in the interpretation of Canada's International Transfer of Offenders Act is examined, along with plea deals and justice.
