War on Terrorism

War on terrorism, tortures and human rights

It is not an easy thing - to balance between the human rights and the need to prosecute and obtain information from the prisoners of war and accused terrorists. However, regarding the US policy in treating the people detained or suspected under the terrorism-related clauses brings uncertainness of whether the individuals may any longer be the subject to the system bound by the rule of law. Particularly, the administration's "new normalcy" policy with its use of torture so infamously uncovered in Abu Ghraib, the growing wire-tape authority, waiving the right for the lawyer, etc. upset this day human rights defendants and primarily threaten the Constitution. One of Administration's key antiterrorist initiatives, the Patriot Act, with its domestic terrorism definition, which infringes on the civil liberties and international human rights, allowence of non-citizens’ detention and indefinite holding, threatening the right to privacy and keeping the intelligence activities safeguarded against the judicial review is criticized to waive the US Constitution and other principal human rights regulations (Amnesty International, n.d.).

Ann Beeson, the litigation director of the American Civil Liberties Union's technology and liberty program, argues that the US waives the Constitution in its authority to prosecute terrorists. Unfortunately, with regard to all stated above her words seem to be true. In the US War on Terrorism the verge between the state security and the rights of people became too blurred. The protection of the nation is definitely the key obligation of the government, but the rights of people is the key aspect which this obligation exists for. Thus, there could be no alternative but the discontinuance of the practice of sacrificing own basic law for the needs of war and return of the policy to its rights-protection stage. Only in this way the United States will retrieve back its image of human rights defender and remain honest to the Constitution.
