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.

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 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.

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 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.

Book Synopsis Command's Responsibility by : Hina Shamsi
Download or read book Command's Responsibility written by Hina Shamsi and published by . This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 War Report written by Stuart Casey-Maslen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive Report on every armed conflict which took place during 2012. It is the first of a new series of annual reports on armed conflicts across the globe, offering an unprecedented overview of the nature, range, and impact of these conflicts and the legal issues they create. In Part I the Report describes its criteria for the identification and classification of armed conflicts under international law, and the legal consequences that flow from this classification. It sets out a list of armed conflicts in 2012, categorising each as international, non-international, or a military occupation, with estimates of civilian and military casualties. In Part II, each of these conflicts are examined in more detail, with an overview of the belligerents, means and methods of warfare, the applicable treaties and rules, and any prosecutions for, investigations into, or robust allegations of war crimes. Part III of the Report provides detailed thematic analysis of key legal developments which arose in the context of these conflicts, allowing for a more in-depth reflection on cross-cutting questions and controversies. The topics under investigation in this Report include drone strikes, the use of explosive weapons, small arms, forced displacement of civilians, detention at Guantanamo Bay, and the enforcement of international humanitarian and criminal law in both national and international courts. The Report gives a full and accessible overview of armed conflicts in 2012. It should be the first port of call for everyone working in the field.

Download or read book Detained written by Daniel Livermore and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Canadian agencies willingly collaborated in the War on Terror launched by the United States to destroy Al Qaeda. This partnership went seriously astray, however, amid a series of fundamental errors by Canadian agencies and their misplaced trust in American willingness to abide by both international and US laws against torture. As a result, numerous Canadian citizens and residents were illicitly detained abroad and subjected to suffering and mistreatment. In Detained Daniel Livermore analyzes the emergence of Islamic fundamentalist extremism and its Canadian implications, including the erroneous investigations that targeted Canadians and led to their detentions in Syria, Egypt, Pakistan, Libya, Tunisia, and Sudan. Scrutinizing the most prominent cases, he details the role of Canadian agencies in the imprisonments and relates how subsequent court cases brought the situations to light, resulting in settlements and apologies to Ahmad Abou-El-Maati, Abdullah Almalki, and Maher Arar, among others. Drawing on his experience in Canada's foreign ministry, Livermore explains how an essentially misguided War on Terror emerged and how Canadian-American cooperation went wrong. A gripping blend of memoir and meticulous research, Detained urges a more mature and rational discussion of security and intelligence issues in Canada and greater understanding of the failures of security cooperation in the decade after 9/11.
Book Synopsis Detention of Non-State Actors Engaged in Hostilities by : Gregory Rose
Download or read book Detention of Non-State Actors Engaged in Hostilities written by Gregory Rose and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detention of Non-State Actors engaged in Hostilities: The Future Law explores legal dilemmas facing detention management during military missions overseas. Armed forces increasingly find themselves facing non-international armed conflict with non-state actors, such as insurgents, terrorists or other civilians, whom they might be permitted to kill or capture in some circumstances. The book considers the legal powers of military forces to apprehend non-State actors and to hold them in ongoing detention or to transfer them to judicial authorities for prosecution. It deals with both theoretical approaches and practical case studies concerning management and treatment of detainees. It concludes by synthesizing the options and delivering a detailed set of guidelines that are proposed as emerging norms for the detention of non-state actors in an armed conflict.
