The Council of Europe works mainly through conventions. By drafting conventions or international treaties, common legal standards are set for its member states. However, several conventions have also been opened for signature to non-member states.
There are 5 non-members states /observer countries: the Holy See, the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico.
Canada is an observer state and nothing more. Anyone who thinks the Council of Europe or UNESCO is going to hold Canadian leaders, scientists and physicians to account through Nuremberg-style trials is so far off the deep end they can't see the shore.
