Government responses to the attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001 and in other countries since then have undermined the framework of human rights. Much of this assault on human rights has been the result of policies and practices authorized and justified by the US executive, led by the US president. Using this checklist, Amnesty International calls on the next US president to close Guantánamo and end illegal detention; to eradicate torture and other ill-treatment; and to end impunity.
