The Canadian Afghan detainee issue concerns Government of Canada or the Canadian Forces (CF) knowledge of abusive treatment of detainees in Afghanistan. The abuse occurred after Afghans were detained by Canadian Forces, and subsequently transferred to the Afghan National Army (ANA) or the Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) during the War in Afghanistan. The issue has sparked heated debate since Article 12 of the Third Geneva Convention (of which Canada is a signatory) states that "the Detaining Power [Canada] is responsible for the treatment given [to prisoners of war]". If the allegations of torture are true it would mean Canada is guilty of war crimes.

  • El trato abusivo canadiense a detenidos afganos se refiere al conocimiento del Gobierno de Canadá o de las Fuerzas Armadas Canadienses sobre el trato abusivo a los detenidos en Afganistán. El abuso ocurrió después de que los afganos fueran detenidos por las fuerzas canadienses y posteriormente transferidos al Ejército Nacional Afgano o la Dirección Nacional de Seguridad de Afganistán durante la Guerra de Afganistán entre los años 2001 y 2021. La cuestión ha suscitado un acalorado debate desde que el artículo 12 de la Tercer Convenio de Ginebra (de la que Canadá es signatario) establece que "la Potencia que detiene (Canadá) es responsable del trato dado a los prisioneros de guerra." Si las acusaciones de tortura son ciertas, significaría que Canadá es culpable de crímenes de guerra.​ (es)
