Book Synopsis Torture, transfers, and denial of due process by : Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC)
Download or read book Torture, transfers, and denial of due process written by Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 60 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.

Download or read book Caught in the Whirlwind written by and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 2007 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caught in the Whirlwind: Torture and Denial of Due Process by the Kurdish Security Forces documents torture and widespread and systematic mistreatment of detainees at Asayish detention facilities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The Asayish, security forces of the two dominant Kurdistan political parties, function outside the control of the regional government and hold hundreds of detainees, including many suspected of terrorism-related offenses. The report describes the nightmarish legal limbo of those detained by the Asayish. In the vast majority of cases that Human Rights Watch investigated during trips to Asayish detention centers from April to October 2006, the Kurdistan authorities had not charged detainees with offenses, brought them before an investigative judge, provided a mechanism by which they could challenge their detentions, or brought them to trial. The Kurdistan authorities recently made serious efforts to improve the human rights situation of detainees in Asayish custody. Asayish officials initiated a partial review of detainee cases, releasing several hundred detainees, most of whom they had held without due process, and the regional government has created two committees to investigate conditions at detention facilities. These efforts have yet to translate into any discernible improvement for most detainees, however, and fall well short of the independent and impartial judicial review of detentions that Human Rights Watch has recommended as a matter of urgency.
Book Synopsis The Transfer of Conflict-Related Detainees by : Maral Kashgar
Download or read book The Transfer of Conflict-Related Detainees written by Maral Kashgar and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2022-09-14 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im Rahmen ihrer Beteiligung an multinationalen Militäroperationen ist es für truppenstellende Staaten erforderlich, Gegner in Gewahrsam zu nehmen. Doch was, wenn der Staat die Gewahrsamsperson nicht im eignen Gewahrsam behalten will? Unter welchen Voraussetzungen ist es möglich, die Gewahrsamsperson an einen anderen Staat zu überstellen? Im Gegensatz zu den Vorgaben des menschenrechtlichen refoulement-Verbots haben die humanitärvölkerrechtlichen Überstellungsregeln der Genfer Konventionen von 1949 bisher trotz ihrer vorrangigen Anwendbarkeit in bewaffneten Konflikten wenig Beachtung gefunden. Mit der Kommentierung dieser Regeln schließt dieses Werk eine Lücke in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zur Thematik.

Book Synopsis The War Against Civilians by : Vasja Badalič
Download or read book The War Against Civilians written by Vasja Badalič and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical analysis of how the “war on terror” affected the civilian population in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This “forgotten war,” which started in 2001 with the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, has seen more than 212,000 people killed in war-related incidents. Whilst most of the news media shifted their attention to other conflict zones, this war rages on. Badalič has amassed a vast amount of data on the civilian victims of war from both sides of the Durand line, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He conducted interviews in Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad, Kabul, Jalalabad, and many other cities and villages from 2008 to 2017. His data is mostly drawn from those extensive conversations held with civilian victims of war, Afghan and Pakistani officials, human-rights activists and members of the insurgency. The book is divided into three parts. The first examines the impact the US-led coalition, Afghan security forces and paramilitary groups had on civilians, with methods of combat such as drone strikes and kill-or-capture missions. The second part focuses on civilian victims of abuses of power by Pakistani security forces, including arbitrary detentions and forced disappearances. In the final part, Badalič explores the impact of unlawful practices used by the armed insurgency – the Afghan Taliban. Overall, the book seeks to tell the story of the civilian victims of the “War on Terror".

Book Synopsis Aspiration and Ambivalence by : Vanda Felbab-Brown
Download or read book Aspiration and Ambivalence written by Vanda Felbab-Brown and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than a decade of great effort and sacrifice by America and its allies, the Taliban still has not been defeated, and many Afghans believe that a civil war is coming. Aspiration and Ambivalence analyzes the U.S. and international efforts in Afghanistan and offers detailed recommendations for dealing with the precarious situation leading up to the 2014 transition to Afghan control and beyond. Vanda Felbab-Brown argues that allied efforts in Afghanistan have put far too little emphasis on good governance, concentrating too much on short-term military goals to the detriment of long-term peace and stability. The Western tendency to ally with bullies, warlords, smugglers, and other shady characters in pursuit of short-term military advantage actually empowers the forces working against good governance and long-term political stability. Rampant corruption and mafia rule thus persist, making it impossible for Afghans to believe in the institutional reforms and rule of law that are clearly necessary. This must change— otherwise, the chances of building responsive and sustainable governmental structures are slim, indeed. Felbab-Brown combines thorough research and analysis with vivid personal accounts of her time spent in the war-torn nation—powerful vignettes illustrating the Afghan aspirations for peace, stability, and sovereignty and the stubborn obstacles to securing them. "The year 2014 will mark a critical juncture in Afghanistan's odyssey. After more than a decade of arduous fighting and political involvement, the U.S. and international presence there will be significantly reduced and circumscribed. Although the international community has committed itself not to abandon Afghanistan as it did in the 1990s, the onus will be on the Afghan government to provide for the security of the country, its economic development, and governance that attempts to meet the needs of the Afghan people. Difficult challenges, major unresolved questions
Book Synopsis Understanding the U.S. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by : Beth Bailey
Download or read book Understanding the U.S. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan written by Beth Bailey and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Understanding the United States' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is essential to understanding the United States in the first decade of the new millennium and beyond. These wars were pivotal to American foreign policy and international relations. They raised critical ethical and legal questions; they provoked debates over policy, strategy, and war planning; they helped to shape American domestic politics. And they highlighted a profound division among the American people: While more than two million Americans served in Iraq and Afghanistan, the vast majority of American and their families remained untouched by and frequently barely aware of the wars conducted in their name, far from American shores, in regions about which they knew little. Understanding the U.S. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan gives us the first book-length, expert historical analysis of these wars. It examines the lessons and legacies of wars whose outcomes may not be clear for decades."--Back cover.
Download or read book Globalizing Torture written by and published by Open Society Inst. This book was released on 2013 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency embarked on a highly classified program of secret detention and extraordinary rendition of terrorist suspects. The program was designed to place detainee interrogations beyond the reach of law. Suspected terrorists were seized and secretly flown across national borders to be interrogated by foreign governments that used torture, or by the CIA itself in clandestine 'black sites' using torture techniques. This report is the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the human rights abuses associated with secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations. It details for the first time the number of known victims, and lists the foreign governments that participated in these operations. It shows that responsibility for the abuses lies not only with the United States but with dozens of foreign governments that were complicit. More than 10 years after the 2001 attacks, this report makes it unequivocally clear that the time has come for the United States and its partners to definitively repudiate these illegal practices and secure accountability for the associated human rights abuses.
