| Sumario: | The article discusses detainee abuse by the U.S. military during the Afghan War with a focus on the Bagram Collection Point compound in Afghanistan. Details about the murder of an Afghan taxi driver called Dilawar by U.S. forces in 2002 is included. Other topics include the U.S. law of armed conflict (LOAC), the violation of international law by the U.S. government, and the Martens Clause in humanitarian law that could protect detainees from violence and promote human rights. It is suggested that the Dilawar murder will impact the U.S. military and that the Army doctrine has changed but may still not adhere to international law regarding human rights of prisoners. |
