SUMMARY:Report Launch | Beyond Guantánamo: Restoring the Rule of Law to the Law of War
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nWATCH THE VIDEO PLAYBACK ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UznNNLf99M )Twenty-one years after the 9/11 attacks, the Guantánamo Bay (GTMO) detention facility at the U.S. naval base in Cuba remains in operation at an annual cost of $540 million. The delay in shuttering the prison has deferred justice for the families of the 9/11 victims and the detainees alike. A site of torture and degrading treatment of detainees, GTMO continues to tarnish the real and perceived commitment of the United States to the rule of law and to compromise U.S. alliances abroad.\n\n\n\nThe Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL), in partnership with the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania, convened a Working Group in June 2021 to develop a legal blueprint for closing the detention facility. The group comprises over thirty national security and counterterrorism experts, including GTMO prosecutors and defense lawyers, retired military officers, former Department of Justice officials, psychologists, psychiatrists, academics, ethicists, and experts in the law of war.\n\n\n\nJoin us on September 12 from 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time for a panel discussion with members of the Working Group and other distinguished speakers to launch a new report detailing their findings. This report also reinforces and reiterates the 13 recommendations first released by the Working Group in Jan. 2022 calling for specific action from the executive branch and Congress.\n\n\n\nA cocktail reception will follow. This event is in-person only and open to the public.\n\n\n\nWelcome\n\n\n\nDavid Joanson\n\n\n\nExecutive Director, CERL\n\n\n\nIntroductory Remarks\n\n\n\nMorton H.
