On August 5, 2015, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) released a report [3] titled “Towards the Closure of Guantanamo.”  The report is meant to address the matter of detainees held at the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay and focuses on the human rights of the detainees.  According to the press release [4], the “report concludes that the main human rights violations at the Guantanamo detention center are indefinite detention; the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment; limited or no access to judicial protection; lack of due process; a discriminatory detention regime; and the lack of an adequate defense.”  With the release of the report, the IACHR also reiterated its call to the U.S. to close the detention center in Guantanamo and in the report “makes specific recommendations designed to encourage the United States to properly fulfill its commitments under international human rights law by taking the necessary steps to close the detention center.”
