Ten detainees held at Guantánamo Bay have been charged by the US authorities and are facing trial by military commission. Amnesty International considers that the military commissions fall far short of international standards for fair trial, including those set out in Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which the USA is a state party. In this document Amnesty International calls for the US authorities to stop trials before military commissions and for detainees to be either charged and tried or released.
