Global Affairs Canada is refuting claims from an anti-war think tank that Canada bears legal responsibility for providing sensor technology used in U.S. airstrikes targeting drug cartels in international waters. The department maintains that no domestic laws were violated.
Project Ploughshares, a Waterloo, Ont.-based anti-war research institute, released a report Monday calling last month’s U.S. airstrikes against alleged cartel members in the Caribbean Sea “unlawful extrajudicial killings.” The report condemned Canada for selling technology used in the strike.
