From Al-Jazeera…

Canada’s highest court has ruled that the country violated international law in the case of Omar Khadr, the only Canadian being held at the Guantanamo Bay US detention centre in Cuba.
Khadr, has been held on terrorism charges for the past six years since he was detained at the age of 15 on claims he killed a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002.
The Canadian Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the country breached international human rights obligations when records of interviews conducted by Canadian authorities with Khadr were passed to the US.
The court ruled that Khadr, now 21, should have some access to the intelligence documents to aid his defence at his upcoming military tribunal.
