AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC STATEMENT

16/11/2010 – In a letter sent to the President of the European Council on the occasion of the EU – US Summit on 20 November, Amnesty International reiterates the importance of ensuring accountability and transparency for human rights violations committed in connection with counter-terrorism operations, including the need to address complicity by EU Member States in these operations. Ensuring accountability for past human rights violations is key – not only in providing redress to victims of human rights violations, but also for the credibility of the EU and the USA as global actors in their efforts to ensure respect for human rights worldwide.

16/11/2010 – After nearly a decade of widespread impunity and absence of remedy for human rights violations – including enforced disappearance and torture – that have occurred in the context of US-led counter-terrorism operations, however, the legal obligation to look back and ensure full accountability for such violations has been ignored by these governments for too long.
