The Panel held hearings around the world, including Canada, where both Adil Charkaoui and Me. Johanne Doyon, one of his lawyers, made presentations.

Among the key conclusions most relevant to security certificate detainees:

• States should repeal laws authorising administrative detention without charge or trial outside a genuine state of emergency; even in the latter case, States are reminded that the right to habeas corpus must be granted to all detainees and in all circumstances.

• States should ensure that immigration law does not serve as a substitute for criminal law in its counter-terrorism efforts and should, in particular, reaffirm their commitment to the principle of non-refoulement.
