- Title
UNITED STATES MILITARY AND CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY PERSONNEL ABROAD: PLUGGING THE PROSECUTORIAL GAPS.
- Authors
Sifton, John
- Abstract
The U.S. government has not held its personnel accountable for detainee abuse committed overseas. This lack of accountability is at least partly attributable to inherent flaws in military and federal criminal law. This Article introduces the detainee abuse problem and outlines systemic prosecutorial hurdles and criminal defenses that complicate accountability efforts. The Article concludes with recommendations that could help enable real accountability for detainee abuse cases.
