5 Supreme Court Victory for Guantánamo Detainees

“The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times. Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system they are reconciled within the framework of the law. The Framers decided that habeas corpus, a right of first importance, must be a part of that framework, a part of that law.” - Supreme Court, June 12, 2008 Boumediene v. Bush

he Center’s impact extends beyond national borders to other national and regional governmental bodies, the United Nations and working alongside other NGOs in the international movement for social justice and accountability. TBelow are some highlights from our international work this year. United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva Hassan Salman, a victim of the Nisoor Square shooting in Baghdad and a plaintiff in CCR’s case Abtan v. Blackwater, testified at a Human Rights Council panel in Geneva. CCR attorney Katherine Gallagher accompanied him and advocated among delegates to ensure that the views and experiences of those directly affected by corporate abuses are incorporated into discussions seeking solutions. European Court of Human Rights In November, we submitted an amicus brief to the European Court of Human Rights in CCR client and Blackwater shooting Boumediene v. Bosnia and Herzegovina, the companion case to Boumediene v. Bush in victim Hassan Salman testifies at a the U.S. Supreme Court. The European case challenges the role of Bosnia in the illegal hearing in Geneva transfer of six Bosnian-Algerian petitioners to U.S. authorities, who then transferred them to Guantánamo, where they remain imprisoned. The case also argues that Bosnia breached its duty to protect the men’s human rights, including by failing to press more effectively for their return to Bosnia. Inter-American Commission on Human Rights In July, CCR attorney Emi MacLean participated in a hearing before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on the U.S. government’s compliance with urgent measures of protection that the Commission issued for Guantánamo detainees. CCR, in collaboration with the Center for Justice and International Law and American University’s Washington College of Law, has filed annual requests for such measures since 2002, which the Commission granted and has renewed each year. United Nations Headquarters in New York CCR Executive Director Vincent Warren participated in a panel on human rights and the struggle against racism at UN headquarters in New York City. What Would Martin Say? Human Rights and the Struggle Against Racism Forty Years after the Death of Martin Luther King, Jr. was part of a series of discussions leading up to the celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, on December 10 2008. United Nations Special Rapporteurs CCR worked with several UN Special Rapporteurs this year, including briefing the CCR Executive Director Vincent Warren speaking at UN headquarters in NY Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism and the Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, during their missions to the United States. We also worked with the Special Rapporteur on Torture in our efforts to find safe third countries for the resettlement of Guantánamo prisoners who face the risk of torture if returned to their home countries.

The President’s Reception is CCR’s annual event that honors the generous correspondent benefactors who are the Center’s indispensable partners in advancing and protecting fundamental human rights for all.

Celebrating 20 Years of the Ella Baker Fellowship Program

Marilyn Clement established the Ella Baker Fellowship Program in 1987, while she served as CCR’s Executive Director. After attending Ella Baker’s funeral in 1986, Marilyn was struck by how many diverse groups within the civil rights movement were represented there. Marilyn immediately decided to create the Fellowship Program to help students develop their political education and to cultivate the next generation of dedicated political lawyers and activists. Since that time, the Ella Baker Program has trained hundreds of Fellows. The Center is grateful for Marilyn’s vision and leadership and proud of the legions of Fellows who have continued the tradition of political lawyering and advocacy. “They all came together to honor Miss Baker and I saw the effect that one tiny powerful figure, a woman no less, could have in changing history.” Marilyn Clement at CCR’s 2008 President’s Reception - Marilyn Clement, CCR board member and former Executive Director and founder of the Ella Baker Fellowship Program

he Center for Constitutional Rights was the first human rights organization to fight for the rights of detainees at Guantánamo Bay Naval Station and remains deeply committed to ensuring that detainees are either charged and given fair trials or released to safe countries where they will not face torture. T This year, even as we celebrate a remarkable victory in Boumediene v. Bush/Al Odah v. United States, we are working to move these cases forward in the ongoing struggle to provide due process for the men held at Guantánamo and to hold the government accountable for torture and abuse of detainees. Below are the cases in which we have been most active.

Safe Streets / Strong Communities is a New Orleans-based organization that is CCR Spotlight working towards a new criminal justice system and building collective power and leadership within targeted local communities. Safe Streets serves communities impacted by violence and police harassment and emphasizes building the leadership of police brutality victims, formerly incarcerated people and their loved ones. Members are primarily adult women family members of formerly and currently incarcerated people.

In October of 2007, CCR partnered with Safe Streets/Strong Communities to host a national hearing in New Orleans examining the role of law enforcement in the reconstruction of the city. The hearing resulted in powerful and emotional testimony from community members, advocates and public policy experts describing how aggressive policing practices are blocking the right of return and seriously impeding the resettling process for the poor, youth and communities of color.

The post-Katrina reality for folks in low-income communities – communities of color – is one where we encounter law enforcement at the doors of our children’s’ schools, in our public housing, on day labor corners where people are trying to find work and in trying to access mental health care for our loved ones. - Rosana Cruz, Co-Director of Safe Streets, speaking at New Orleans hearings

46 The National Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms CCR Spotlight (HOOD) has been working for years on behalf of the Yemeni men detained at Guantánamo. Their work has been a vital counterpart to CCR’s litigation and advocacy efforts.

Based in Yemen, HOOD is lobbying their government to negotiate with the United States for the men’s release and provides information to the press about the plight of Guantánamo prisoners to raise public awareness and generate additional pressure on the government. The organization serves as a lifeline for the families of prisoners, both in terms of helping them find legal representation in the United States and providing them with information and emotional support through the years. Executive Director of HOOD, Khaled al-Anesi, In January 2008, CCR attorneys traveled to Yemen to participate in an international conference with his son and CCR staff attorneys (from left) focused on Yemeni prisoners at Guantánamo that was organized by HOOD and Reprieve.

48 † deceased Gene Bernardi grew up with a keen awareness of the inequality and discrimination around her and fought against it by joining the fair housing movement and the free speech movement of CCR Spotlight the 1960s. One of Gene’s greatest accomplishments was initiating a class action sex discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Forest Service which, after a 10-year fight, forced the Forest Service to hire women in administrative positions and as forest rangers. Gene first found CCR through reading about Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo. When she learned that CCR was representing these people who had been whisked away from their families, imprisoned and tortured, she became inspired to support this fight financially.

“I love that CCR takes on cases even if they might not win, because they feel so passionately that the issues must be addressed. Habeas corpus and the Constitution are the most important things to fight for!” – Gene C. Bernardi, CCR donor and Thelma Newman Planned Giving Society member

Tanis Wayne Roberts Charles L. and Leslie A. Berger 50 † deceased Dick Mazess grew up feeling that the government can and should do more for those in need CCR Spotlight rather than embracing military and economic imperialism. His support for protecting rights was forever changed by police violence against peacefully protesting students during the Vietnam War. He is concerned about the violation of privacy rights by massive internet data gathering and wiretapping, and also helped found an organization that encourages withholding votes for pro-war politicians. Dick long admired the success of the Center for Constitutional Rights in bringing human rights violators to justice using the Alien Tort Statute, and enthusiastically and generously supports our lawsuits against mercenaries like CACI, Titan and Blackwater. “This administration has privatized public services in order to provide political friends with huge profits at the expense of human lives. I made my gift to support the Blackwater cases because I feel we need to hold Blackwater accountable for the murder of innocent Iraqis.”

Goldman Lewis and Kitty Steel Ira Yankwitt Monica Bradbury 54 Captain Paul Washington is former president of the Vulcan Society, an organization of Black firefighters in New York City. He has worked for years to increase minority hiring within the CCR Spotlight New York City Fire Department, maintaining that the department’s entrance exam and other hiring practices unfairly exclude many Black candidates. On behalf of the Vulcan Society and three individual Black firefighter candidates, CCR filed two Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charges that found the test was discriminatory, sparking the U.S. Department of Justice to file suit against the City. In September 2007, CCR joined in the DOJ suit. The case, now called United States of America and Vulcan Society v. City of New York, charges that the FDNY’s test discriminates against Black applicants and has no relationship to firefighter job skills.

“We are 2.9% of the department in a city that is 27% Black,” says Washington. “If those numbers don’t wake the City up to the problem, maybe the prospect of millions of dollars in damages will.”

CCR board member Radhika Balakrishnan is a Professor of Economics and CCR Spotlight International Studies at Marymount Manhattan College, where she coordinates the International Studies Program. This year, she organized a college-wide awareness and fund-raising campaign called “Beyond Guantánamo: Rescuing the Constitution.”

Faculty from across the college assigned lessons including having students read material relating to Guantánamo, ranging from poetry to papers on constitutional issues. The program included a screening of the award-winning documentary “Taxi to the Dark Side” followed by a talk by CCR’s Executive Director, Vincent Warren. His talk drew an overflow crowd of students, faculty and staff. Professors who brought their classes to the day’s events created follow-up assignments and had class discussions of the issues presented. The International Studies Club held a fundraiser that continued throughout the semester, raising almost $400 for the Center for Constitutional Rights.

“CCR’s work is unique because it takes on cases that are too challenging and risky for others. Supporting this work and raising public awareness of these issues is critical.”
