The Killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar: AnInternational Law Perspective

The international law options available to Canada are limited. That means the situation
will have to be resolved through political means. The international community is
weighing in on the issue. However, each state’s involvement will be colored by their
own relationship with India and Canada and the stance that the countries have taken
on targeted killings in the past. The resolution of these allegations, one way or another,
will have significant implications for the international community and the principles of
sovereignty and human rights that underpin it.
