Well, you have avoided a lot of jargon today, so on behalf of the committee I think I can say thank you.
I have a question as far as SEMA goes, specifically. Obviously, when an international organization, the UN for example, issues a determination under chapter VII that a grave breach of international peace and security has taken place, then it is clear that this determination has been made and Canada can act in kind. I am more interested in the second aspect here, when “a grave breach of international peace and security has occurred that has resulted or is likely to result in a serious international crisis”. It is not clear that an international organization has deemed it that way, but Canada, still under SEMA, has the power to impose sanctions.
Who determines how international peace and security are defined in that instance? Who does the determination, and how is that defined, exactly?
