This Major Crown Project will provide National Defence with the ability to train its land, sea and air forces under conditions of simulated electronic warfare(EW). This means replicating potentially hostile EW emitters and tactics so that Canadian Forces personnel and weapons systems can be exercised in EW environments that approximate those likely to be found in theatres of operation where Canadian Forces are committed. Public Works and Government Services Canada, Industry Canada and the Department of National Defence are the departments in charge of this project. 1, record 3, English, - Electronic%20Support%20and%20Training%20Systems%20Project

Ce Grand projet de l'État a pour but de fournir au ministère de la Défense nationale un système permettant d'entraîner ses forces terrestres, maritimes et aériennes dans des conditions simulant la guerre électronique. Cela signifie la reproduction d'émetteurs potentiellement hostiles et de tactiques de guerre électronique, de sorte que le personnel des Forces canadiennes puisse utiliser des systèmes d'armes dans des conditions similaires à celles qu'on retrouvera probablement dans les zones d'opérations ou les Forces canadiennes seront engagées. Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada, le ministère de la Défense nationale et Industrie Canada sont les ministères responsables de ce projet. 1, record 3, French, - Projet%20du%20syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A9lectronique%20de%20soutien%20et%20de%20formation

Duty of vigilance over activities of persons granted asylum. In principle there would not appear to be any difference between persons who are granted asylum and others resident in its territory in respect of a government's obligation in this regard, but this duty assumes special importance in respect of persons who are granted asylum because in practice it appears that political refugees, especially those who have been dispossessed of power in their own countries, may attempt from a neighbouring state to organise subversive and other types of hostile acts or activities against the government which has ousted them. 1, record 4, English, - person%20granted%20asylum

L'individu auquel l'asile a été accordé devient un asilé. Ce terme est à vrai dire le seul qui possède un sens et un contenu juridiques, étant donné que c'est l'octroi de l'asile qui établie un lien juridique entre la personne qui en bénéficie et celui qui l'accorde. Dans le sens du Droit international l'asilé est une personne qui bénéficie d'une des espèces de l'asile international. Le terme asilé n'est cependant pas d'usage courant et il y a peu de chances qu'il soit généralement accepté. Dans la langue courante le terme employé pour décrire la situation de l'asilé est celui de réfugié. 1, record 4, French, - asil%C3%A9
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La terminologie est assez variable. Dans les pays de langue espagnole le terme asilé semble être utilisé plus fréquemment pour décrire la personne qui a trouvé asile dans une mission diplomatique. Cependant la Convention de Caracas (1954) sur l'asile territorial parle "d'exilés, asilés et réfugiés politiques" sans spécifier la différence entre ces catégories. En France, dans la langue officielle, le qualificatif asilé semble être réservé aux personnes qui ont obtenu l'asile sur le territoire de la France par une décision du gouvernement. 1, record 4, French, - asil%C3%A9
