Michael Marchand talked about “Detainee Operations and the Rule of Law.”

Al-Qaeda suspects have been detained in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba for over five years. Today, there are still over 300 detainees being held with no immediate plans for release. With conditions at the facility described as grim, several countries have condemned the United States for failure to uphold the Geneva Conventions, which emphasize a respect for human rights. The United States maintains that these “unlawful combatants” are a threat to its security.
