- Title
HAMDAN v. RUMSFELD: REVIEWING THE GENEVA CONVENTION RIGHTS OF THE UNLAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANTS DETAINED AT GITMO.
- Authors
Quimby, Amy
- Abstract
The author examines the 2006 case Hamdan versus Rumsfeld in order to analyze the Geneva Convention rights of the unlawful enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) in Cuba. She concludes that many of the detainees are not afforded rights under Common Article 3 of the agreement concerning the treatment of prisoners of war. The case was brought before the U.S. Supreme Court to question the validity of the military courts created by President George w. Bush to prosecute enemies captured during the war on terrorism.
