UN demands prosecution of Bush-era CIA crimes
Ben Emmerson, UN investigator with responsibility for the promotion and protection of civil rights while countering terrorism has said that classified documents are protecting those who are responsible for serious human rights violations.
President Obama, while strongly condemning enhanced interrogation techniques has not prosecuted, or even named any of those responsible for such violations.
In a report to the UN Human Rights Council Emmerson said:
“Despite this clear repudiation of the unlawful actions carried out by the Bush-era CIA, many of the facts remain classified, and no public official has so far been brought to justice in the United States…There is now credible evidence to show that CIA ‘black sites’ were located on the territory of Lithuania, Morocco, Poland, Romania and Thailand, and that the officials of at least 49 other states allowed their airspace or airports to be used for rendition flights”
