He pointed to the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, contemporary human rights norms, and evolving interpretations of state immunity as evidence that states cannot act with impunity while continuing to benefit from the protections of the international system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampson emphasized that international law has already evolved from the doctrine of absolute state immunity toward a more restrictive framework, particularly where states engage in commercial activities or violate core international obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBill S-214 operationalizes the international law doctrine of countermeasures,\u201d he explained, arguing that Canada and its allies are justified in taking proportionate action in response to Russia\u2019s violations of international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A central theme of Hampson\u2019s testimony was the broader public interest at stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe issue is whether Canadian taxpayers should continue to bear the costs of Russia\u2019s war, or whether Russia\u2019s own assets should fund Ukraine\u2019s recovery efforts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampson also addressed concerns that seizing state assets could create instability in international financial systems or discourage foreign investment in Canada. He argued that these concerns are overstated and fail to account for the exceptional nature of Russia\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cautioned senators against accepting arguments that effectively create impunity for states engaged in aggression or mass violations of international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Hampson acknowledged the importance of ensuring that any asset seizure regime operates within a transparent legal framework and in close coordination with international partners. He stressed that Canada\u2019s actions would be strongest if aligned with broader G7 and allied efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the hearing, Hampson repeatedly framed the debate not only as a legal question, but also as a test of international resolve and political will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His testimony also reflected the WRMC\u2019s broader longstanding focus on the relationship between corruption, governance failures, and forced displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad governance that too often causes forced displacement is almost always associated with corruption. Grand corruption weakens and distracts governments, making it less likely that they will meet their responsibility to protect their own populations. At the same time, the theft of international aid discourages donors and compounds the challenge of funding assistance for refugees and internally displaced populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WRMC previously addressed these issues in its report&nbsp;<em>Appel \u00e1 l\u2019action : transformer le syst\u00e8me mondial d\u2019aide aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s<\/em>, which stressed accountability and argued that when stolen funds are found offshore, they should not only be frozen, but also confiscated and repurposed for the benefit of displaced populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That principle helped inform Canada\u2019s existing Special Economic Measures Act asset seizure framework, which drew in part on the proposed Frozen Assets Repurposing Act advanced by the WRMC alongside former Senator Ratna Omidvar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampson\u2019s testimony reinforced growing calls among policymakers and civil society organizations for democratic states to move beyond sanctions alone and toward concrete mechanisms that hold aggressor states and corrupt officials financially accountable for the consequences of war, instability, and displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WRMC continues to advocate for stronger international anti-corruption measures, including the repurposing of frozen and seized assets, strengthening accountability frameworks under principles of restorative justice, and broader reforms to the international anti-corruption regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampson also returned to the broader evolution of international norms, including the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, arguing that sovereignty cannot serve as a shield for aggression, grand corruption, or grave violations of international law that fuel instability and displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampson\u2019s intervention before the Senate committee reflected the WRMC\u2019s broader commitment to strengthening international accountability while supporting long-term recovery and stability for populations affected by war and forced displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Find out more about the WRMC\u2019s work on Repurposing Assets for the Forcibly Displaced at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wrmcouncil.org\/fr\/FARA\/\">wrmcouncil.org\/FARA<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; white-space: normal;\"><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; white-space: normal;\"><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WRMC President Fen Osler Hampson delivered a forceful defence of\u00a0Bill S-214 to Canadian Senators on the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
