Using Canadian Law To Prevent, Respond To And Remedy Maltreatment In Sport: Listening To And Learning From Athletes, Wendy Macgregor
LLM Theses
This thesis addresses maltreatment of athletes in Canada, in the post-Nassar era, by considering applicable law, policy, academic literature and a qualitative study.

Next, whether or not the Charter applies to the CADP is analyzed, looking at whether the administrator of the CADP, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports (CCES), meets the criteria of a "government actor," as well as determining if the CADP itself would be considered a government action and thus …

Business And Human Rights In The Context Of Sanctions: A Road To Filling The Governance Gap, Bahareh Jafarian
LLM Theses
As concerns about the negative impacts of sanctions on the human rights of civilians and the environment increases, it is necessary to reflect upon the lawfulness and legal status of such measures in international law, and their impact on business enterprises and the field of Business and Human Rights (BHR). While current academic literature tends to focus on implementation, enforcement and business compliance with unilateral and multilateral sanctions, the negative impacts of sanctions on non-state actors and resulting human rights violations are overlooked. Specifically, the relationship between sanctions law and the responsibility of businesses to respect human rights and the …
