Justice Canada requires on an as and when requested basis, the services of a contractor to provide transcription, translation, site interpretation and other related linguistic services from Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian (BCS), German, Arabic, Spanish, and Farsi languages to either English or French. Other languages may be requested as needed, but will not be evaluated for the purpose of this contract.
This initiative aims to support The Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Section (CAHWCS) of the Department of Justice Canada (JUS) works on investigations relating to allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against persons living in Canada. CAHWCS works with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in civil and criminal investigations related to such cases. These cases deal with allegations of crimes against humanity and war crimes which occurred during conflicts in many countries around the world. Original documents, correspondence and audio/video files of interviews may be in any of multiple languages (i.e. Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian (BCS), German, Arabic, Spanish, Farsi, etc.). These documents may include witness interviews and statements, court documents, correspondence with other countries, etc.
