Abstract
On 28 June 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered a decision in Mugesera, bringing to an end the decade-long legal saga involving a speech made by Leon Mugesera in November 1992 in Rwanda. While the decision of the Supreme Court was handed down in the context of an immigration case, its impact will be mostly felt in the realm of criminal law, as the court embraced international jurisprudence for the international elements of crimes against humanity. In addition, the decision is important for three reasons: it (i) clarified the interrelationship between international and domestic criminal law; (ii) examined the notion of hate crime; and (iii) analysed the concept of inchoate crimes.
