War criminals in Canada has been an ongoing stigma against Canada.[1]
Simon Wiesenthal Centre
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre, as a private non-governmental organization, faults the Government of Canada efforts to investigate and prosecute Nazi war criminals.[1] The Simon Wiesenthal Center claims that approximately 2,000 Nazi war criminals obtained Canadian citizenship by providing false information.[1]
Deschênes Commission
In 1985, the Deschênes Commission was created as a Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada.[1] The Deschênes Commission recommended changes to the law of Canada to allow for the prosecution or deportation of suspected war criminals.[1] However, only a small number of cases have been pursued.[1]
Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act
In 2000, the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act[2] passed as a statute of the Parliament of Canada, which implements Canada's obligations under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.[3]
