Well, other than the obligation of Canada to comply with international law, we have to realize that we are engaged in a struggle for hearts and minds, and the ends don't justify the means. I think the way in which Canada and other western democracies conduct themselves will have far-reaching impacts in the region.
In terms of the prosecution of the perpetrators, of course, this is a very difficult situation given the problems that the International Criminal Court has already faced. I think in addition to bringing them to justice, we may be thinking about how we can promote reconciliation, for example, through truth commissions as a means of healing the wounds, the sectarian wounds that have ripped these societies apart.
We should bear in mind the experience of the South African truth and reconciliation commission and other countries that have gone through transitional situations. The advantage of such a process is that it allows for a widespread public participation in a way that criminal trials may not.
