Le Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques a été élaboré dès 1952, mais il fut adopté le 16 décembre 1966 par l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies dans sa résolution 2200 A (XXI). Le Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques est une convention revêtant un caractère obligatoire pour les États qui l'ont ratifié, dont le Canada (avec entrée en vigueur le 19 août 1976). Toutefois, la jouissance des droits énoncés à l'article 27 ne doit pas porter atteinte à la souveraineté et à l'intégrité territoriale d'un État partie. Le Pacte est entré en vigueur le 23 mars 1976, conformément aux dispositions de l'article 49. Le Canada l'a ratifié le 19 août 1976. 3, record 1, French, - Pacte%20international%20relatif%20aux%20droits%20civils%20et%20politiques
