As a general rule of Canadian evidence law, the previous out-of-court statements of a witness or victim are not to be the subject of testimony in court. In regard to statements by a child who is not called as a witness, any statements made by the child to others would normally be regarded as hearsay and therefore inadmissible. Although the general rules about the exclusion of previous consistent statements and hearsay are basically sound, they can be problematic when applied to cases involving children who are victims of abuse. Not infrequently in child abuse cases, the initial disclosures of abuse by the child to a parent or another trusted person are graphic and highly revealing. Conversely, if the accused argues that a child has been subject to improper coaching or interviewing to make the allegations, [an] inquiry into the circumstances in which the allegations were first made can be vitally important. As a result of these types of concerns Canadian judges have significantly liberalized the rules about admitting this type of evidence, making changes to the common law that in some other countries have been achieved by legislative reforms. 3, record 1, English, - victim%20of%20abuse

The International Association of Refugee Law Judges seeks to foster recognition that protection from persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion is an individual right established under international law, and that the determination of refugee status and its cessation should be subject to the rule of law. The Association's membership consists of specialists in refugee law issues, members of specialized tribunals such as Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board(IRB) ;members of courts of first instance having general jurisdiction, similar to Canada's Federal Court; and members of appellate courts having powers of review over administrative determinations. 2, record 2, English, - International%20Association%20of%20Refugee%20Law%20Judges

L'Association internationale des juges aux affaires des réfugiés veut faire davantage reconnaître que la protection contre la persécution en raison de la race, de la religion, de la nationalité, de l'appartenance à un groupe social ou des opinions politiques est un droit individuel reconnu par le droit international et que l'attribution, ou la perte, du statut de réfugié doivent être décidées en conformité avec le principe de la légalité. L'Association regroupe des spécialistes des questions touchant le droit des réfugiés, des membres de tribunaux spécialisés (du genre de la Commission de l'immigration et du statut de réfugié au Canada (CISR)), des membres de tribunaux de première instance ayant une compétence générale (comme la Cour fédérale du Canada) et des membres de cours d'appel habilitées à réexaminer des décisions administratives. 3, record 2, French, - Association%20internationale%20des%20juges%20aux%20affaires%20des%20r%C3%A9fugi%C3%A9s
