First of all, that article was written over 10 years ago and it was in reference to UN sanctions and Canada's application of them. Those three Ts apply to how long it takes us to go from getting a UN resolution to actually creating the regulations. If the sanctions were against Africa, it could take 100 days to put in place the regulations. If they were against Iraq, we could do it instantaneously. What I was pointing out is the inconsistency of the machinery behind our application of sanctions.
I think what you're describing is reprehensible. Of course, we can only sanction assets that have a Canadian connection. We could certainly put individuals on a list to prevent them from coming into Canada, but the naming and shaming of these individuals is the work that Amnesty International and other human rights organizations do, day in, day out. There are other ways that Canada could support making sure that this practice of taking people and not giving them due process...but I don't think Canada's sanctions are necessarily going to stop that. I know that's not what you want to hear.
