"(
) Mr President, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states that no one may be unlawfully detained and that imprisonment must be in keeping with the letter of the law. That is what the legislation states, but what is the reality?
It is common knowledge that conditions in prisons in Iraq fall below all humanitarian and sanitary standards. Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment is used. The American authorities boast that they investigate all reports of inappropriate treatment of prisoners. The Pentagon states that, over the last few years, disciplinary action has been taken against 200 soldiers accused of inappropriate treatment of prisoners. If we do want to plant the seeds of democracy in this country, we shall certainly not be able to do so while our representatives there become perpetrators instead of bringing aid."@en1
