Operations of the Guantanamo Bay Detention and Human Rights Violation

Abstract

Objectives: Operations of Guantanamo Bay Detention have attracted the attention of various authorities and key stakeholders, including human rights organizations and the overall public. The main reason behind the concern of Guantanamo Bay (GB) operations is the critical violation of human rights that has been confirmed to be happening, especially to the detainees. Most detainees at Guantanamo are suspects of serious war and terrorism cases that may possibly lead to serious long-term if not lifetime imprisonment.  Therefore, professionals and military commissions are more likely to treat them as convicts while they are only suspects. Investigations on the treatment of detainees in GB have always proved violation of human rights, which is inconsistent with the International Human Rights Laws (IHRL) and among other domestic laws.

Methods: The systematic review assessed the operations of Guantanamo Bay detention based on existing reliable scholarly research and governmental and non-governmental relevant reports.

Results: The review is broken into background information, purpose of the study, the gap to that needs to be filled, deliverables of the study, analysis, discussion, and an informed conclusion based on available information.

Conclusions: The review reveals the critical situation at GB prison in terms of its operation, engagement with detainees, adherence to the law, and the essence of addressing international.
