This week UN special rapporteur Ben Emmerson, in a speech before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva,cheap lululemon, demanded the Government publish interim findings of the Gibson Inquiry into whether MI5 and MI6 aided and abetted the rendition and ill-treatment of terrorism suspects.</p><p>Both Mr Rahmatullah,lululemon canada, 30, and Mr Ali were arrested by British forces in Baghdad in 2004 before being handed over to the Americans. Almost a decade later they remain captive,Great getaways Scandinavian sailing, May Bank holi, a situation which Mr Rahmatullah’s family insist has left him in “catastrophic mental and physical shape”.</p><p>Last year the Supreme Court ruled that forcible transfer of Mr Rahmatullah from Iraq to Afghanistan by US forces appeared, at least on a prima facie basis, to be a breach of the Geneva Convention. It agreed the UK Government was unable to enforce his return.</p><p>But Lord Kerr added: “In these circumstances the UK Government was under a clear obligation, on becoming aware of any failure on the part of the US to comply with any provisions of the (Geneva Convention), to correct the situation or to request the return of Mr Rahmatullah.”</p><p>Yet despite requests that the UK’s involvement should be inspected, the Metropolitan Police has refused to do so, explained Kat Craig, legal director of the human rights charity Reprieve, which is supporting the case.</p><p>“It is the Met police’s job to investigate allegations of war crimes.? The highest court in the land has already said that there is evidence of British officials’ involvement in war crimes related to the on-going detention without charge or trial of Yunus and Amanatullah,hollister uk, who languish in prison to this day.</p><p>“So why isn’t the Met investigating? Their failure to do so protects the UK officials involved and makes the Met complicit in the torture and possible war crimes at the centre of this disgraceful affair,lululemon outlet canada,” she said.</p><p>In its letter to Mr Hogan-Howe, Leigh Day insists that the Metropolitan Police – as the UK;’s force with the responsibility for investigating war crimes - has a duty to examine the role of UK officials in failing to object to the men’s unlawful transfer or take corrective steps. War crimes have universal jurisdiction,Hibernian 4 Falkirk 3 match report Hibs can lift final blues after Leigh Griffit, whatever the person’s nationality or whether the crime was committed within the UK or not.</p><p>However, responding to the accusation Andrew Fairbrother,hollister uk, of the Met’s Directorate of Legal Services, insisted the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis would defend any claim for judicial review.</p><p>In a letter in response,lululemon canada, Mr Fairbrother pointed out that neither Pakistani men were citizens of the UK, they had been captured in an area controlled by the Americans and handed over to the US under an agreed Memorandum of Understanding. Any alleged breaches of the Geneva Convention were by the US, he added,hollister outlet, and that the UK’s failure to comply with its obligation to seek Mr Rahmatullah’s return was under international law and therefore the question of a UK breach did not arise.</p><p>Mr Fairbrother continued that,The Uncommon Reader, By Alan BennettThe Good Musli, in the Metropolitan Police’s view, there was not “sufficient legal or factual basis on which to commence a criminal investigation”.</p><p>There was no duty placed on the force to examine such allegations abroad,hollister outlet, he said, adding: “The MPS has not abdicated any of its responsibility…the MPS has expended a very significant amount of resources – both human and financial – on investigating allegations of this nature.”</p><p>The threatened judicial review came in the same week that the British barrister Ben Emmerson QC, the UN special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights,lululemon outlet canada, demanded that the UK publish the interim findings of the report by Sir Peter Gibson into whether its security and intelligence agencies had been implicated in the improper treatment of detainees in the aftermath of the 11 September attacks.</p><p>He said it was time to end years of “official denials, sophistry and prevarications,lululemon outlet canada,” adding; “Holding those responsible to account is now the only way of genuinely drawing a line under the past.”</p></div> | ||
