Abstract: |
The limitation of constitutionally entrenched rights & freedoms in protecting fundamental human rights among marginalized groups is demonstrated, using the example of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in Canada. The Charter of Rights & Freedoms maintains that every individual is equal before & under the law & has the right to equal protection. However, examples are given of recent incidents in clear violation of the human rights of AIDS patients in Canada. |
