De Sonde van de Lanceringen van de V.N. van de Geheime Plaatsen van de Detentie
Zondag, 22 Maart, 2009
De V.N. de rechten van de mensonderzoekers lanceren een year-long globaal onderzoek van geheime plaatsen van detentie. Zij nemen van nota het gebruik van dergelijke faciliteiten is gestegen aangezien de globale oorlog op verschrikking na 11 September, 2001 verschrikkingsaanvallen in de Verenigde Staten werd verklaard. De onderzoekers zeggen hun sonde zogenaamde vertolkingsvluchten bekijken zal die door het Centrale Agentschap van de Intelligentie, of de CIA, in de Verenigde Staten worden gebruikt verdachten naar derde landen voor ondervraging in het geheim over te brengen. De sonde van de V.N. zal ook het beleid van geheime detentie zoals die door andere naties rond de wereld wordt gepraktizeerd onderzoeken. De barsten verschijnen in de muur van stilte die de geheime praktijk van buitengewone vertolking omringt aangezien de gevangenen vooruit van hun beproevingen komen vertellen. De „marteling ging op soms wekelijks, soms maandelijks,“ zei een vroegere gevangene bij de Baai van Guantanamo, Binyam Mohamed, die de Britse veiligheidsdienst MI5 van het helpen van de V.S. beschuldigt. de intelligentie agenten ondervragen hem nadat hij in Pakistan in 2002 werd gegrepen. Mohamed eist de V.S. de agenten namen hem aan Marokko, waar hij werd gemarteld. „ik wil mensen zien nemend de verantwoordelijkheid voor wat in de loop van de zeven jaar,“ bovengenoemde Mohamed is gebeurd. „Als wij enkel mensen laten doen wat niet zij willen doen en verantwoordelijk worden gehouden, stelt dat de deuren open om te martelen en te misbruiken.“ De V.N. de onderzoekers die een sonde in geheime plaatsen van detentie lanceren gaan met Mohamed akkoord. Zij vechten mensen die in deze faciliteiten opzettelijk worden geplaatst buiten de bescherming van de wet worden vastgehouden. Zij zeggen de mensen die in dergelijke plaatsen beperkt zijn grote risico's om en zelfs verdwijnend voor goed in werking stellen worden gemarteld. De Speciale Onderzoeker van de V.N. op Marteling, Manfred Nowak, zegt geheime plaatsen van detentie, worden de afgedwongen verdwijningen en de marteling dicht onderling verbonden. Hij voegt toe het risico om aan marteling worden onderworpen in deze faciliteiten bijzonder hoog is. „Wij hebben de ervaringen in vele Latijns-Amerikaanse staten, maar ook in veel andere staten gehad waar de afgedwongen verdwijningen,“ bovengenoemde Nowak werden uitgeoefend. „Ook, in de vorm van het bestrijden van terrorisme. There is nothing new that now after 9/11, in the global fight against terrorism, that secret places of detention again came to the forefront of our attention, of course, in the context of CIA practices, but going far beyond that.” The U.N. probe will look at CIA rendition flights that secretly transferred terror suspects for interrogation, mainly in North Africa and the Middle East. Nowak is very critical of the widespread use of this practice by the former Bush administration. “The very purpose of so-called extraordinary renditions employed by the Bush administration was that in cases where the enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA in places like Guantanemo Bay, etc. were not ’successful’ … enough, that they were then sent to countries known for their torture practices by means of extraordinary rendition flights,” said Nowak. U.N. human rights investigators applaud moves made by President Barack Obama in pledging to close Guantanamo Bay and stopping the practice of torture and extraordinary rendition. But, they say they will not let the president off the hook until a number of important questions are answered and certain reprehensible acts are ended. UN Special Investigator on terrorism, Martin Scheinin, says he will be watching the president’s moves closely. “We can at least hope that this is a real change, which will put an end to the most horrendous forms of extraordinary rendition,” said Scheinin, “where persons were not brought to the United States at all, but were dumped in third countries for the purpose of torture.” Member of Parliament in Pakistan, Sanaullah Baloch, praises the investigation that is getting under way. But, he tells the U.N. experts to expand their focus to include countries like his own in their probe. “In Pakistan, the Asian Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has identified 52 illegal detention centers in Pakistan,” said Baloch. “So my suggestion is that there should be a type of mechanism that United Nations aid, United Nations cooperation and United Nations support to the democratic regimes must be linked, should be linked with this protection of human rights and particularly getting rid of this practice of enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and secret detention centers. ” The U.N. investigators agree that torture in secret places of detention might be useful in eliciting information. But, they argue that more often than not, the information received is wrong and might end up being counterproductive. Regardless of the quality of information received, they note torture, under any circumstances, is absolutely prohibited under international law. The experts expect their one-year global probe into secret detention centers to shine more light on the extensiveness of these facilities and how they operate. They acknowledge they will not be able to prevent similar practices in the future, but they are hopeful their study will promote changes for the better.
