Ukuhlolwa Kwabantu: Umkhuba weCIA

The Guardian ngoMsombuluko ezenziwe umphakathi idokhumenti ye-CIA evumela umqondisi wale nhlangano ukuthi "avumele, aguqule, noma anqabele zonke iziphakamiso eziphathelene nocwaningo lwezihloko zabantu."

Human ini?

E-Guantanamo, i-CIA yanikeza imithamo emikhulu yomuthi obangela ubuphekula i-mefloquine eziboshweni ngaphandle kwemvume yazo, kanye neserum yeqiniso okuthiwa scopolamine. Owayengunogada waseGuantanamo UJoseph Hickman ine ibhalwe phansi I-CIA ihlukumeza abantu, kwesinye isikhathi baze bafe, futhi abatholi ncazelo ngaphandle kocwaningo:

“[Kungani] amadoda angelutho noma angenalo nhlobo ayegcinwa ngaphansi kwalezi zimo, futhi ephenywa ngisho ngokuphindaphindiwe, izinyanga noma iminyaka ngemva kokuba evalelwe? Noma ngabe babenobuphi ubuhlakani lapho bengena, ikuphi ukuhambisana okungaba nakho eminyakeni kamuva? . . . Kubukeka sengathi impendulo eyodwa ilele encazelweni yokuthi oMajenene Omkhulu [uMichael] Dunlavey kanye no-[Geoffrey] Miller bobabili bafaka isicelo ku-Gitmo. Bayibiza ngokuthi 'ilebhu yezempi yaseMelika.'”

Ukuhlola okungavunyelwana ngakho ezinganeni ezikhuliswe izikhungo kanye nabantu abadala kwakuvamile e-United States ngaphambi, ngesikhathi, futhi ngisho nangaphezulu ngemva kokuba i-US kanye nabalingani bayo bashushise amaNazi ngalo mkhuba ngo-1947, bagwebela abaningi ejele futhi abayisikhombisa balengiswa. Inkantolo yakha iKhodi yaseNuremberg, izindinganiso zezokwelapha ezazishaywe indiva ngokushesha ekhaya. Abanye odokotela baseMelika kucatshangelwa "ikhodi enhle yama-barbarians."

Ikhodi iqala ngokuthi: “Kudingeka imvume yokuzithandela, enolwazi, neqondakalayo yesihloko somuntu ngokugcwele ngokomthetho.” Imfuneko efanayo ifakiwe emithethweni ye-CIA, kodwa ayizange ilandelwe, njengoba nodokotela beye basiza ngamasu okuhlukumeza anjenge-waterboarding.

Kuze kube manje, i-United States ayikaze yamukele ngempela Ikhodi yaseNuremberg. Ngenkathi kwakhiwa ikhodi, i-US ibinikeza abantu i-syphilis eGuatemala. Kwenze okufanayo naseTuskegee. Futhi phakathi nokuqulwa kwecala laseNuremberg, izingane zasesikoleni sasePenhurst eningizimu-mpumalanga yePennsylvania zanikezwa i-hepatitis-laced. udoti ukudla.

Ezinye izingosi zamahlazo okuhlolwa afaka phakathi iJewish Chronic Disease Hospital eBrooklyn, iWillowbrook State School eStaten Island, kanye nejele laseHolmesburg ePhiladelphia. Futhi, kunjalo, i-CIA's Project MKUltra (1953-1973) yayiyi-smorgasbord yokuhlola komuntu. Ukwenziwa inzalo okuphoqelelwe kwabesifazane ku California amajele awakapheli. Ukuhlukunyezwa ngamaphoyisa aseChicago ngokokuqala ngqá kuvele kunxeshezelwe izisulu.

Uma ekugcineni sizoyeka ukuziphatha okubi kanjalo, kuyodinga ukuba sigqashule emikhubeni ethile emibi.

ICongress iphinde yavala ukuhlukumeza izikhathi eziningi eminyakeni yamuva. Manje kufanele iwuyeke lowo mkhuba futhi esikhundleni salokho ifune ukuthi u-Attorney General aphoqelele umthetho omelene nokuhlukunyezwa, owenza ukuhlukunyezwa kwaba yicala ngaphambi kokuba uGeorge W. Bush abe umongameli.

Kuhle ngoJohn Oliver ukugxeka ukuhlukunyezwa. Futhi ulungile ukulandela amanga watshelwa ngokuhlushwa kwezokuzijabulisa ezithandwayo. Kodwa futhi usakaza umbono ongamanga wokuthi kusemthethweni. "Sihlolile," esho, ebika ukuthi ithimba lakhe labaphenyi lithole ukuthi ukuphela kokuvinjelwa kokuhlukumeza kutholakala encwadini yomthetho ebhalwe nguMongameli Obama. Umbhedo oyingozi lo. I-US yayiyingxenye ye-Anti-Torture Convention futhi yayenze ukuhlukunyezwa kwaba yicala ngaphansi komthetho wokulwa nokuhlushwa kanye nomthetho wamacala empi ngaphambi kokuba uGeorge W. Bush abe ngumongameli.

Kusukela lapho, iCongress "ivimbele" ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuhlukunyezwa. Kodwa, njengoba ukuvinjelwa kwempi kwe-UN Charter empeleni kusemthethweni izimpi ezithile, okusho ukuthi kuzoshintsha ukuvinjelwa okuphelele kwe-Kellogg-Briand Pact ngokuvinjelwa okuyingxenye, le mizamo ye-Congressional (efana ne-Military Commissions Act ka-2006) empeleni isemthethweni amacala athile. yokuhlushwa, esikhundleni (okungenani engqondweni yawo wonke umuntu) ukuvinjelwa okuphelele osekuvele kukhona KuKhodi yase-US kanye nesivumelwano i-US eyingxenye yaso.

Isiphakamiso sakamuva "sokuvinjelwa" esivela kuSenator McCain nabangane, sizodala okuhlukile ngalezo eziku-Army Field Manual, futhi abameli bagcina ukuthi isinyathelo sesibili kuzoba ukulungisa lelo bhukwana. Kodwa uma weqa zombili izinyathelo futhi uvuma ubukhona bomthetho wokulwa nokuhlushwa kuKhodi yase-US, uqedile. Umsebenzi ofanele uwukucindezela ukuphoqelelwa kwawo.

Iphutha lika-Oliver, njengawo wonke umuntu, lisekelwe ezinganekwaneni ezimbili. Okokuqala, ukuhlukunyezwa kwaqala ngoBush. Okwesibili, ukuhlukunyezwa kwaphela ngoBush. Ngokuphambene, ukuhlukunyezwa sekunesikhathi eside kukhona e-United States nakwezinye izindawo. Kanjalo nomkhuba wokuwuvala. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwenqatshelwe Ukuchitshiyelwa Kwesishiyagalombili KoMthethosisekelo WaseMelika, Isimemezelo Sendawo Yonke Samalungelo Abantu, kanye Nesivumelwano Samazwe Ngamazwe Samalungelo Omphakathi Nawezepolitiki, kanye Nesivumelwano Sokulwisana Nokuhlukunyezwa Nokunye Ukuphathwa Okunonya noma Ukwehliswa Isithunzi noma Ukujeziswa. Eqinisweni, ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, ukuhlukunyezwa akusoze kwavunyelwa futhi kuvinjelwe njalo.

Inganekwane yesibili nayo ayilungile. Ukuhlukumeza ayikapheli futhi ngeke inqobo nje uma ingajeziswa.

Ummeli-jikelele angabuzwa futhi asatshiswe ngokubekwa icala kuze kube yilapho imithetho yethu iyasetshenziswa. Iwebhusayithi entsha idalwe ngoMsombuluko ake usithumelele iCongress i-imeyili ukuyifuna ukuthi yenze lokho kanye.
