Subseries 6 - Other travel

0.4 m of textual records

These two boxes contain material on foreign travel outside England and the United States that is not contained in other boxes. Material on Australia and New Zealand, for example, is contained in the boxes on Law Reform.

There are a number of files with respect to Israel (files 2-10). Again, there are also files on Israel in the boxes on Law Reform and in other boxes. In 1979 I gave a talk in Jerusalem at a Conference on Peace v. Violence (files 2-4). My subject was ‘Adhering to Rules of Criminal Procedure in Cases of Terrorism’. (The Prime Minister, Menachim Begin, gave a major address). In 1992 I gave a talk at the Canada/Israel Conference on ‘Chartering Human Rights’ held at the Hebrew University. (Shimon Peres gave a major address). My topic was ‘The Charter and Canadian Criminal Justice’ (file 5-7). While in Israel I gave a lecture on the Charter at Haifa University (file 8). The following year I presented a paper at a Jerusalem Conference on the Rights of the Accused, etc. on detention and questioning before trial (files 9-10). This was drawn from our Two Niagara studies (see the Two Niagara boxes), but the paper that was eventually published in the Israel Law Review in 1997 as part of the proceedings was one on choosing juries in the two Niagaras.

In 1988 I gave the Moran Lecture at Trinity College, Dublin, on Controlling the Administrators of Criminal Justice (files 11-16). This was an offshoot of my work on Sanctions and Rewards for the CIAR. While in Ireland, I gave a lecture at Trinity College, Dublin on Valentine Shortis and gave a talk on the same subject in Shortis’ home town of Waterford (file 17).

In 1991 Judy and I travelled through Asia and I gave a number of talks on the Charter (files 18-25). The talk I gave at Bangalore, India, was apparently published in their law review, although I have never seen it (files 19-21). I visited other universities and institutions in India (file 22). In Hong Kong, I gave a lecture on the Canadian Charter at the Law School at the University of Hong Kong, and gave a talk on the Charter to the Attorney General’s Department and the Law Reform Commission (file 23). In Shanghai, I visited the East China Institute of Politics and Law and in Japan I visited the law schools at Kyoto and Tokyo (files 24-25).

Kent Roach presented a paper in both our names on the right to a fair trial in Canada at a conference in Germany in 1995 (file 26). In 1996 I visited a number of law schools and met with government officials in South Africa (file 27).
