Abstract
On February 28, 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada by a five-to-four majority in its Nevsun Resources Ltd v Araya decision, refused to strike damages claims for international human rights abuses and Canadian torts by three former workers at a Canadian majority-owned mining company in Eritrea. Canadian courts are open to hear claims under Canadian law for wrongs committed outside Canada.
