Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our current stalemate over detention serves nobody—not the military or any other component of the U.S. government that has to operate overseas.... It is a system that no rational combination of values or strategic considerations would have produced; it could have emerged only as a consequence of a clash of interests that produced a clear victory for nobody."—from the Introduction Benjamin Wittes issues a persuasive call for greater coherence, clarity, and public candor from the American government regarding its detention policy and practices, and greater citizen awareness of the same. In Detention and Denial, he illustrates how U.S. detention policy is a tangle of obfuscation rather than a serious set of moral and legal decisions. Far from sharpening focus and defining clear parameters for action, it sends mixed signals, muddies the legal and military waters, and produces perverse incentives. Its random operation makes a mockery of the human rights concerns that prompted the limited amount of legal scrutiny that detention has received to date. The government may actually be painting itself into a corner, leaving itself unable to explain or justify actions it may need to take in the future. The situation is unsustainable and must be addressed. Preventive detention is a touchy subject, an easy target for eager-to-please candidates and indignant media, so public officials remain largely mum on the issue. Many Americans would be surprised to learn that no broad principle in American jurisprudence actually prohibits preventive detention; rather, the law "eschews it except when legislatures and courts deem it necessary to prevent grave public harm." But the habeas corpus legal cases that have come out of the Guantánamo Bay detentionfacility—which remains open, despite popular expectations to the contrary—have addressed only a small slice of the overall issue and have not—and will not—produce a coherent body of policy.

Download or read book Public History for a Post Truth Era written by Liz Sevcenko and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public History for a Post-Truth Era explores how to combat historical denial when faith in facts is at an all-time low. Moving beyond memorial museums or documentaries, the book shares on-the-ground stories of participatory public memory movements that brought people together to grapple with the deep roots and current truths of human rights abuses. It gives an inside look at "Sites of Conscience" around the world, and the memory activists unearthing their hidden histories, from the Soviet Gulag to the slave trade in Senegal. It then follows hundreds of people joining forces across dozens of US cities to fight denial of Guantánamo, mass incarceration, and climate change. As reparations proposals proliferate in the US, the book is a resource for anyone seeking to confront historical injustices and redress their harms. Written in accessible, non-academic language, it will appeal to students, educators, or supportive citizens interested in public history, museums, or movement organizing.

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.

But the claims often involve such sensitive and difficult issues as sexual violence, female genital mutilation, trafficking, and domestic abuse.

Book excerpt: Inhumane detention conditions have long plagued Egypt’s prisons, adversely affecting prisoners’ enjoyment of their right to health. Prisoners’ health and lives are further endangered by the failure of prison authorities – either through neglect or deliberate denial – to provide individuals in their custody with adequate health care, in breach of their obligations under international law. Amnesty International’s research shows how the authorities’ denial of adequate health care has caused undue pain and suffering of prisoners and their distressed relatives, and in some cases might have led or contributed to preventable deaths in custody and irreparable harm to prisoners’ health.
