MURPHY'S LAW -- THE CANADIAN TREATMENT OF DETAINEES IN AFGHANISTAN: ARE HUMAN RIGHTS LAW AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW OBLIGATIONS CIRCUMVENTED?
- Authors
Hendin, Stuart
- Abstract
The article discusses the conflict in Afghanistan and the rights entitled to person who are captured and detained. The author begins with the premise that Afghanistan is a failed or failing state, a dangerous region that is incapable of providing minimal civilian conditions, and rife with internal conflicts. He then questions whether or not the conflict is of an international nature or not. The article also reviews how members of Canadian armed forces handle detainees and possible issues arising from it. The author then discusses how all NATO members should deal with detainees.
