I think for it to be applicable, they should have to demonstrate that the accused used their dual citizenship in such a way that helped them facilitate their crimes.

Was it (i.e. dual citizenship) a tool for them to travel, hide or access certain resources? If so, then the person should be forced to renounce one of their citizenship, or one should be stripped. Having one citizenship is a right, but having Canada (or any country) recognize more than one is a privilege.

I am not sure about Khadr's situation though. I always thought of him as a child soldier who should have been a candidate for rehabilitation.
