That was a short, clear and balanced motion, basically stating three strong messages: firstly, it called for the closure of the detention centre and for fair trials for detainees consistent with international law and standards; secondly, it condemned the use of torture and ill-treatment and the need for conformity with international law in all detention centres; and thirdly, it stressed that contemporary terrorism continues to pose a threat to basic human rights and to our populations.
Cette résolution, brève, claire et équilibrée, contient en essence trois grands messages. Elle demande tout d’abord la fermeture du centre de détention ainsi qu’un procès équitable pour les détenus, conformément au droit international et aux normes internationales.
