INEFFECTIVENESS IN THE GUARANTEE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND INTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION IN THE GUANTANAMO PENITENTIARY
Keywords:
GUANTANAMO, HUMAN RIGHTS, INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, TERRORISM, DIPLOMACYAbstract
This article analyzes the inefficiency of the legal mechanisms and instruments of the Inter-American normative system in the protection of human rights in the penitentiary center in Guantanamo (Cuba). This analysis will be carried out through the observation of the theoretical and political framework that led to the creation of the penitentiary center in Guantanamo, as well as the normative and human rights context in the naval base. In all cases, it will be based on a qualitative paradigm, with a hermeneutical historical approach and the application of bibliographic review techniques. These methodologies will allow us to reflect in a concrete way the serious human rights problems faced by the detainees, such as the lack of judicial guarantees, judicial protection, personal integrity, freedom and human dignity, under the justice system imposed by the US agents in Guantanamo. The final objective is to show that the Inter-American system and its different instruments of intervention in human rights are still incipient and of limited effectiveness in the face of the discourse of sovereignty and diplomacy supported by the United States, as well as the protection of human rights in the penitentiary center.
