AMID HUNGER STRIKE, UN RIGHTS EXPERTS URGE US TO CLOSE DOWN GUANTÁNAMO
DETENTION FACILITYNew York, May 1 2013 2:00PMWith some 100 prisoners
at the Guantánamo Naval Base on a hunger strike, a group of United
Nations independent human rights experts today reiterated their calls
on the United States to shut down the detention centre.
"The United States must respect and guarantee the life, health and
personal integrity of detainees at the Guantánamo Naval Base,
particularly in the context of the current hunger strike," a group of
international experts on human rights, arbitrary detention, torture,
counter-terrorism and health said in a
<"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13279&LangID=E">news
release from the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights
(OHCHR).
The experts, who comprise the Inter-American Commission on Human
Rights, added that they have received specific information about
severe and prolonged physiological and psychological damage caused by
the high degree of uncertainty the detainees face over basic aspects
of their lives, such as not knowing whether they will be tried or
whether they will be released and when; or whether they will see their
family members again.
The Commission also today urged the US Government to adopt concrete
measures to end the indefinite detention of persons; to ensure the
detainees are either released or prosecuted in accordance with due
process and the principles and standards of international human rights
law; and to allow for independent monitoring by international human
rights bodies.
President Barack Obama said yesterday that he would recommit himself
to closing the Cuba-based prison, a goal he has voiced at least three
times in the past four years but which is hampered by Congressional
opposition.
"You can't just set up something like that and keep it in perpetuity,
which is in fact what Congress has made possible by bringing in a new
law in the beginning of the year called the National Defence
Authorization Act which essentially provides for the indefinite
military detention without charge or trial of detainees at Guantánamo
Bay," Rupert Colville, a spokesperson for the UN Human Rights Office
told UN Radio.
In today's statement, the Special Rapporteur on torture, Juan E.
Méndez, noted that the indefinite detention of individuals, most of
whom have not been charged, "goes far beyond a minimally reasonable
period of time and causes a state of suffering, stress, fear and
anxiety, which in itself constitutes a form of cruel, inhuman, and
degrading treatment."
Around half of the 166 detainees in the centre have been cleared for
transfer to their home countries or third countries for resettlement.
"All relevant security-related Government agencies or authorities have
expressly certified that those detainees do not represent a threat to
US security," said the Special Rapporteur on countering terrorism, Ben
Emmerson.
However, the cleared detainees continue to remain in the centre,
alongside those reportedly designated for indefinite detention.
"Of those, 56 are Yemeni nationals who have been denied release based
solely on their nationality and on the political situation in Yemen,
which constitutes a clear violation of the principle of
non-discrimination and renders their detention arbitrary and
constitutes a flagrant violation of international law," explained El
Hadji Malick Sow, who currently heads the UN Working Group on
Arbitrary Detention.
Last month, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, said
she was "deeply disappointed" by the US inaction on closing the
centre. She also noted that the continued incarceration of cleared
detainees raised serious concerns under international law and severely
undermined US stance as an upholder of human rights.
Speaking with UN Radio today, Mr. Colville said the ongoing hunger
strike is a manifestation of the uncertainty felt by the detainees.
"One can only imagine the feelings of these people who one minute
they're told they're cleared for transfer home and then it doesn't
happen. You've got now this hunger strike which is really a symptom of
extreme desperation," he said.
According to media reports, 21 of the reported 100 striking detainees
are being force-fed a nutritional supplement through tubes inserted in
their noses.
While the individual circumstances of those detainees are unclear, the
UN Special Rapporteur on health, Anand Grover, stressed that "health
care personnel may not apply undue pressure of any sort on individuals
who have opted for the extreme recourse of a hunger strike."
She added that it is also not acceptable to use threats of forced
feeding or other types of physical or psychological coercion against
individuals who have voluntarily decided to go on a hunger strike.
Independent experts, such as the special rapporteurs cited, are
appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and
report back, in an unpaid capacity, on specific human rights
themes.May 1 2013 2:00PM
