Ottawa must seek Khadr’s return: Court

The Federal Court of Appeal ruled today that the government offered no compelling reasons why it should not comply with an order to request that Khadr, 22, be repatriated to Canada.

Government argued that foreign policy is its exclusive prerogative. The court held that a court’s order to ask for Khadr’s repatriation is a “relatively small intrusion into the conduct of international relations.”
