Concerning Mr. Abdesslam Mahdi. The State is a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 1. The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was established by resolution 1991/42 of the Commission on Human Rights. Its mandate was clarified and extended by Commission resolution 1997/50. The Human Rights Council assumed the mandate of the Working Group by its decision 1/102 and extended it for a further three-year period by resolution 6/4 of 28 September 2007. Acting in accordance with its methods of work, the Working Group forwarded the above- mentioned communication to the Government. 2. The Working Group notes with appreciation the information received from the Government of the United Kingdom in respect of the case in question. 3. The Working Group further notes that the Government has informed the Group that the above-mentioned person has been deported. The response of the Government was transmitted to the source, which did not communicate any comments. 4. Having examined the available information and without prejudging the nature of the detention, the Working Group decides to file the case of Mr. Abdesslam Mahdi under the terms of paragraph 17 (a) of its methods of work. Adopted on 11 September 2007 OPINION No. 15/2007 (Central African Republic) Concerning Colonel Bertrand Mamour. The State is a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 1. (Same text as paragraph 1 of Opinion No. 14/2007.) 2. The Working Group regrets that the Government has not replied despite the 90-day extension of the time limit requested by it and granted by the Working Group. 3. The Working Group considers detention to be arbitrary when: (i) It is clearly impossible to invoke any legal basis to justify the deprivation of liberty (as when a person is kept in detention after completion of his sentence or despite an amnesty law applicable to him) (category I); (ii) The deprivation of liberty results from the exercise of the rights and freedoms guaranteed by articles 7, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, insofar as States parties are concerned, by articles 12, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 26 and 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (category II); (iii) The partial or total non-observance of the international laws relating to the right to a fair trial, spelled out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the relevant international instruments accepted by the States concerned, is of 3 A/HRC/10/21/Add.1 such gravity as to give the deprivation of liberty an arbitrary character (category III). 4. This case was reported to the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention as follows: Colonel Bertrand Mamour, born in 1956 at Ouadja, a citizen of the Central African Republic resident in Bangui (Résidence Mackin), is a networks and communications engineer and Deputy Chief of Staff of the army of the Central African Republic. 5. According to the information gathered by the source, Colonel Mamour was arrested on 18 November 2006 in Bangui by the Presidential Security Unit, without a warrant and for reasons not stated, and is now being held at Camp de Roux, Bangui. Some hours before his arrest, Colonel Mamour, previously Operations Commander, had been appointed a senior administrator at the Public Service Ministry by presidential decree. 6. The source states that he was probably suspected of being in league with the rebels of the Union of Democratic Forces for Unity (UFDR). According to the military hierarchy, Colonel Mamour was passing information to the UFDR and had been arrested on the basis of a document accusing him of having informed the rebels about the deployment and strategies of the armed forces of the Central African Republic (FACA). 7. Colonel Mamour, who has now been in detention for more than three months, has not had access to the assistance of a lawyer and has been deprived of all contact with his family. The source also states that he has been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, which has had a serious impact on his health. Moreover, the source states that a member of Colonel Mamour’s family died in October 2006 under similar circumstances. 8. The Government has not provided any information regarding the alleged facts, although invited to do so. In accordance with its procedures, the Working Group believes that it is in a position to render an opinion regarding the facts and circumstances of the case on the basis of the allegations made by the source. 9. It should be noted that Colonel Mamour was subjected to detention already in 2002, in the buildings of the gendarmerie command in Bangui. On 29 November 2002, the Working Group rendered an opinion (Opinion No. 18/2002 [Central African Republic], see E/CN.4/2004/3/Add.1) in which, noting that Colonel Mamour had been arrested on 16 May 2002, it stated that it

Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

  • A Plan to Close Guantánamo and End the Military Commissions Submitted to the Transition Team of President-Elect Obama From
    A Plan to Close Guantánamo and End the Military Commissions submitted to the Transition Team of President-elect Obama from the American Civil Liberties Union Anthony D. Romero Executive Director 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004 (212) 549-2500 January 2009 HOW TO CLOSE GUANTÁNAMO: A PLAN Introduction Guantánamo is a scourge on America and the Constitution. It must be closed. This document outlines a five-step plan for closing Guantánamo and restoring the rule of law. Secrecy and fear have distorted the facts about Guantánamo detainees. Our plan is informed by recognition of the following critical facts, largely unknown to the public: • The government has quietly repatriated two-thirds of the 750 detainees, tacitly admitting that many should never have been held at all. • Most of the remaining detainees will not be charged as terrorists, and can be released as soon as their home country or a haven country agrees to accept them. • Trying the remaining detainees in federal court – and thus excluding evidence obtained through torture or coercion – does not endanger the public. The rule of law and the presumption of innocence serve to protect the public. Furthermore, the government has repeatedly stated that there is substantial evidence against the detainees presumed most dangerous – the High Value Detainees – that was not obtained by torture or coercion. They can be brought to trial in federal court. I. Step One: Stay All Proceedings of the Military Commissions and Impose a Deadline for Closure The President should immediately

Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. W From a terrorism and counterterrorism perspective, the year 2014 was particularly significant. This was due as much to the potential impact of drawdown of US and International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) from Afghanistan as to the declaration W of the establishment of a so-called Islamic Caliphate by the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS).
