This book was released on 2012 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, published jointly by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) and the Open Society Foundations, documents evidence of torture of conflict-related detainees by Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS), Afghanistan's intelligence agency, and the Afghan National Police (ANP). The report found credible evidence of torture at nine separate NDS facilities and a number of ANP locations, including beatings, suspension, electric shocks, and threats of physical violence and sexual abuse, which were routinely used to obtain confessions and other information. The report also details systematic violations of due process, and a persistent failure to hold Afghan officials accountable for abuse. The AIHRC and Open Society also documented cases in which U.S. transferred detainees were subjected to torture by NDS officials. The report calls on the Afghan government to fully investigate allegations of abuse, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure that AIHRC monitors have full, unfettered access to all detention facilities. The report also recommends that the ISAF and the United States ensure no detainees are transferred to Afghan detention facilities where they face a real risk of torture and that all U.S. forces in Afghanistan are subject to ISAF detainee transfer policies and monitoring.

Book excerpt: Human Rights Firsts new report,Commands Responsibility: Deaths in U.S. Custody in Iraq and Afghanistan, provides the first comprehensive accounting of the U.S. governments handling of the nearly 100 cases of detainees who have died in U.S. custody since 2002. In its report, Human Rights First looked at some of the most troubling abuse cases,including up to 12 cases in which people were tortured to death. The report found that flawed investigations and a lack of punishment, especially at the highest levels, has lead to a culture of impunity on abuse. Despite the number of deaths of prisoners in U.S. custody, as of February 2006, only 12 detainee deaths have resulted in any kind of punishment for any U.S. official, military or civilian. The report finds that often the more serious the case particularly those involving people tortured to death the less severe the punishment; the highest sentence in a torture-related death is five months in prison. Based on this, Human Rights First concluded that a gap exists between policies leadership says it respects on paper, and behavior it actually tolerates in practice.

Download or read book The Guantánamo Effect written by Laurel Emile Fletcher and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, based on a two-year study of former prisoners of the U.S. government’s detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, reveals in graphic detail the cumulative effect of the Bush administration’s “war on terror.” Scrupulously researched and devoid of rhetoric, the book deepens the story of post-9/11 America and the nation’s descent into the netherworld of prisoner abuse. Researchers interviewed more than sixty former Guantánamo detainees in nine countries, as well as key government officials, military experts, former guards, interrogators, lawyers for detainees, and other camp personnel. We hear directly from former detainees as they describe the events surrounding their capture, their years of incarceration, and the myriad difficulties preventing many from resuming a normal life upon returning home. Prepared jointly by researchers with the Human Rights Center, University of California, Berkeley, and the International Human Rights Law Clinic, University of California, Berkeley School of Law, in partnership with the Center for Constitutional Rights, The Guantánamo Effect contributes significantly to the debate surrounding the U.S.’s commitment to international law during war time.

Book excerpt: In its latest report on the treatment of conflict-related detainees in Afghanistan published on 17 April 2019, the UN documents an encouraging reduction in the number of cases of torture since 2016 but notes its ongoing concern at the high number of detainees who continue to report torture and ill-treatment. The joint report by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the UN Human Rights Office, issued on the first anniversary of Afghanistan’s accession to the Convention Against Torture’s Optional Protocol, finds that nearly a third of conflict-related detainees interviewed provided credible and reliable accounts of having been subject to torture or ill-treatment. The report is based on interviews with 618 detainees held in 77 facilities in 28 provinces across the country between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through its detention observation, UNAMA found a compelling pattern and practice of systematic torture and ill-treatment at a number of NDS and ANP detention facilities. In many other facilities, UNAMA identified practices and documented allegations of abuse that raise serious concerns about the possible use of torture and ill-treatment. These allegations require further investigation and prompt action by all concerned. Use of interrogation methods, including suspension, beatings, electric shock, stress positions, and threatened sexual assault is unacceptable by any standard of international human rights law, Afghan law and professional standards for security forces. In particular, the abuses found against children in custody are a clear indication that NDS and ANP should undertake urgent reforms to ensure proper oversight and accountability within their ranks. To improve their human rights records and meet their human rights obligations, the NDS and the ANP should undertake serious systemic reform and cease any use of torture and ill-treatment. Internal education is needed to ensure that all NDS and ANP officials understand what constitutes torture, know that using such methods is illegal under the Constitution, criminal laws and international law and that any official using or condoning such practices will be prosecuted and disciplined. International support and assistance could play a key role. Decisions to provide donor support should be based on NDS and ANP taking concerted action to cease torture and abusive interrogation practices accompanied by appropriate safeguards. The provision of training in non-coercive interviewing techniques, modern prison management and administration and a basic understanding of national legal norms and international standards relating to prohibitions of torture and respect for legal safeguards and due process rights are essential to assisting NDS and ANP to move forward with institutional reform and modernization. In the context of transition of lead security responsibility from international military forces to ANSF, the imperative to ensure that NDS or ANP do not abuse detainees or provoke local grievance through mistreatment or arbitrary detention is particularly important.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - Region: USA, grade: 77.00%, University of Cape Town, course: Conflict in World Politics, language: English, abstract: The U.S.’s War on Terror has generated and continues to engender a great deal of international and domestic condemnation. This essay consequently analyses one of the most controversial and insidious repercussions of the ‘War on Terror’: the U.S.’s use of torture on terrorist suspects. Ultimately, this paper argues that torture as a counter-terrorism tactic was an ill-conceived act of desperation that violated human rights, damaged the U.S. government’s integrity and potentially increased terrorism. For this reason, the U.S.’s choice of torture is argued to be the basest of its mistakes in its War on Terror. Thus, this discussion focuses on the emergence of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, cases of torture at Guantanamo Bay, the indefensibility of torture and the irreconcilable consequences of state sponsored torture. To substantiate its main arguments, this analysis draws on the International Committee of the Red Cross Report On The Treatment Of Fourteen High Value Detainees In CIA Custody and reports from the Select Senate Committee on Intelligence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this set of devastating essays, Gareth Peirce analyzes the corruption of legal principles and practices in both the US and the UK that has accompanied the ‘War on Terror’. Exploring the few cases of torture that have come to light, such as those of Guantánamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Binyam Mohamed, Peirce argues that they are evidence of a deeply entrenched culture of impunity among those investigating presumed radicals among British Muslim nationals and residents, who constitute the new suspect community in the UK. Peirce shows that the British government has colluded in a whole range of extrajudicial activities – rendition, internment without trial, torture – and has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal its actions. Its devices for maintaining secrecy are probably more deep-rooted than those of any other comparable democracy. If the government continues along this path, Peirce argues, it will destroy the moral and legal fabric it claims to be protecting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torture has been a topic of national discussion ever since it was revealed that “enhanced interrogation techniques” had been authorized as part of the war on terror. The United States and Torture provides us with a larger lens through which to view America's policy of torture, one that dissects America's long relationship with interrogation and torture, which roots back to the 1950s and has been applied, mostly in secret, to “enemies,” ever since. The United States and Torture opens with a compelling preface by Sister Dianna Ortiz, who describes the unimaginable treatment she endured in Guatemala in 1987 at the hands of the the Guatemalan government, which was supported by the United States. Following Ortiz's preface, an interdisciplinary panel of experts offers one of the most comprehensive examinations of torture to date, beginning with the Cold War era and ending with today's debate over accountability for torture.
