Title
Pillay says Guantanamo detention regime is in “clear breach of international law” and should be closed (Press Release)
Note
The TOP story on the "human rights news" section of the HOME PAGE of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights reads: "Guantanamo should be closed." "The continuing indefinite incarceration of many of the detainees amounts to arbitrary detention and is in clear breach of international law," says UN Human Rights chief Navi Pillay. Pillay goes so far as to claim: "this systemic abuse of individuals' human rights continues year after year..." Did you know that the top systematic human rights violator in the world at this moment in time, demanding the attention of the UN's top human rights official, is the United States?
