The U.S. doesn't recognize or seem to have a definition of what a child soldier is, but we in Canada do have clear definitions, and we have also ratified several conventions and protocols that specifically state what a child soldier is. Omar Khadr is clearly under that category, so we have a positive obligation on the part of the government to enforce our own domestic law, and also international law, to make sure that Khadr does get repatriated and to make sure he does face due process in the Canadian judicial system and not some foreign system that does not respect our own conventions and laws. Is that not the case?
