TL;DR Summary

A United Nations human rights investigator has found that the conditions at Guantanamo Bay, where the last 30 detainees are being held, constitute "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment under international law." The report criticized the United States for failing to provide trauma care and ensure the rights of the current and former prisoners. The Biden administration released a one-page defense of the detention operation, while the report called for an independent, civilian health care program for prisoners who were tortured by the United States. The report also urged reparations for the current detainees and victims of terrorism.
