AFGHAN PRISONERS

Motion Text

That this House believes that all detainees and prisoners taken in the course of the conflict in Afghanistan should be treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention; notes that the hooding and chaining of prisoners prior to their removal to a US base in Guantanamo Bay to face special military tribunals has no basis in international law; and calls on the UK Government to dissociate itself from this process and reiterate the principle of the primacy of the Geneva Convention.
