Laws in foreign lands are often different from Canada's, which can make such situations difficult to deal with. The rules of diplomacy and politics can make it hard for governments to find out about a person's guilt or innocence, location, or health condition � even the nature of charges against them.
The official position of the federal government is that Canadian citizens are subject to the laws of the country where they are. Not knowing the law is not considered a defence. Foreign Affairs cannot overrule the decisions of local authorities |
