The US engages in practices prohibited by international law!
Amnesty International says…
| Quote: |
| The so-called “war on terror” has led to an erosion of a whole host of human rights. States are resorting to practices which have long been prohibited by international law, and have sought to justify them in the name of national security. |

The Human Rights Watch says…
| Quote: |
| The US detention facility at Guantánamo Bay has become a stain on the United States' reputation. |

The International Committee of the Red Cross says...
| Quote: |
| The detention of persons captured or arrested within the context of the fight against terrorism must take place within a clear and appropriate legal framework and in full respect of the relevant procedural safeguards. No person deprived of their liberty should be detained and interrogated outside of an appropriate legal framework. |
