"Canada is required by its international obligations to arrest and prosecute former president Bush given his responsibility for crimes under international law including torture," AFP quoted Amnesty's Susan Lee as saying in a statement released on Wednesday.
Bush is expected to attend an economic summit in Surrey in Canada on October 20.
"As the US authorities have, so far, failed to bring former president Bush to justice, the international community must step in. A failure by Canada to take action during his visit would violate the UN Convention against Torture and demonstrate contempt for fundamental human rights," Lee added.
