The Geneva conventions, whether you like it or not, do not provide access for a lawyer upon capture. That's international law. I agree with you that the law must be applied—not what some people wish the law said, but what the law says. The fact is that Canadian law does not apply to an enemy combatant detained by a foreign party. It never has applied in military history, and it doesn't today.
I talked about the American process because each country, when it sets up military tribunals, has to establish a new process. We did so after World War II, it was done in Sierra Leone--it's done in every country. The only question is whether the process that is established--in this case the American process--meets the international norms. I've testified that it does.
You might say he's a boy of 15, but unfortunately the law says he is a soldier at 15. Dura lex sed lex is an old proverb.
