Vic Toews Gives RCMP Okay to Violate UN Anti-Torture Convention

Vic Toews approves violation of UN anti-torture convention.

Vic Toews, Public Safety Minister issues a directive to RCMP, CSIS and Canada Border Services to use information obtained through torture.

In 1985, Canada led by then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture .

Article 2.2 of the UN Convention Against Torture:
No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.
Article 15 of the UN Convention Against Torture:
Each State Party shall ensure that any statement which is established to have been made as a result of torture shall not be invoked as evidence in any proceedings, except against a person accused of torture as evidence that the statement was made.
