En appui à cette politique, le Canada a participé activement à la création de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) et continue à promouvoir sa ratification universelle. Le Canada a appuyé fermement d’autres tribunaux internationaux spéciaux et mixtes, y compris le Tribunal spécial pour la Sierra Leone qui a terminé son dernier procès avec la condamnation, en mai 2012, de l’ancien président du Liberia Charles Taylor, trouvé coupable de 11 chefs d’accusation de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l’humanité commis lors de la guerre civile en Sierra Leone.

In support of this policy, Canada was active in the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and continues to promote its universal ratification. Canada has been a strong supporter of other ad hoc international and hybrid tribunals, including the Special Court for Sierra Leone, which completed its final trial with the May 2012 conviction of former Liberian President Charles Taylor on 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during Sierra Leone’s civil war. Canada, through START’s Global Peace and Security Fund, also supports national and international transitional justice efforts in other fragile and conflict-affected states, including Sudan, Colombia and Guatemala, as well as the Justice Rapid Response, a multilateral stand-by facility of active duty criminal justice and related professionals ready to deploy quickly to identify, collect and preserve information about crimes under international law and massive human rights violations.
