USA: Still failing human rights in the name of global ?war?
Source: Amnesty International
As detentions in the US Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay enter their ninth year, and the 22 January 2010 deadline for the detention facility?s closure ordered by President Barack Obama approaches only to be missed, the administration has registered ?wins? in two recent court decisions on the detentions. They are Pyrrhic victories for the authorities, however, coming at a high cost to human rights principles and ensuring that Guantánamo will remain synonymous with injustice well into the second year of the Obama administration.
