Washington, DC 20500
Mongameli othandekayo Biden:
Siyiqembu elihlukahlukene lezinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni ezisebenza, e-United States nakwamanye amazwe, ezindabeni ezihlanganisa amalungelo abantu bamazwe ngamazwe, amalungelo abokufika, ubulungisa bezinhlanga, kanye nokulwa nokucwaswa okuphambene namaSulumane. Sikubhalela ukuze sikukhuthaze ukuthi ubeke eqhulwini ukuvala indawo yokuboshelwa e-Guantánamo Bay, eCuba, futhi uqede ukuboshwa kwamasosha okungapheli.
Phakathi kohlu olubanzi lokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu okwenziwa emiphakathini egcwele amaSulumane kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule, indawo yokuboshwa yaseGuantánamo - eyakhiwe endaweni efanayo yezempi lapho i-United States yayivalela khona ababaleki baseHaiti ngokuphambene nomthethosisekelo ngaphansi kwezimo ezidabukisayo ekuqaleni kwawo-1990 - isibonelo esihle kakhulu. yokulahlwa komthetho.
Indawo yokuboshelwa eGuantánamo yakhelwe ngokukhethekile ukugwema izithiyo zomthetho, futhi izikhulu zokuphatha uBush zafaka ukuhlukunyezwa lapho.
Cishe amadoda nabafana abangamaSulumane abangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili babanjelwa eGuantánamo ngemuva kuka-2002, bonke ngaphandle kwedlanzana ngaphandle kwecala noma icala. Amashumi amathathu nanhlanu asele lapho namuhla, ngezindleko zezinkanyezi zamaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-540 ngonyaka, okwenza iGuantánamo ibe isikhungo sokuboshwa esibiza kakhulu emhlabeni. I-Guantánamo ihlanganisa iqiniso lokuthi uhulumeni wase-United States sekuyisikhathi eside ebheka imiphakathi yemibala - izakhamuzi kanye nabangewona izakhamuzi - njengosongo lwezokuphepha, emiphumeleni elimazayo.
Lena akuyona inkinga yesikhathi esidlule. I-Guantánamo isaqhubeka nokubangela umonakalo okhulayo nomkhulu kubantu besilisa asebekhulile nabagula kakhulu abasaboshwe unomphela lapho, iningi labo ngaphandle kwenkokhiso futhi akekho oseke waquliswa icala ngendlela efanele. Kuphinde kwacekela phansi imindeni nemiphakathi yabo. Indlela eyisibonelo sika-Guantánamo iyaqhubeka nokubhebhethekisa futhi ithethelele ukucwasa, ukucabanga ngemibono engaguquki, kanye nokucwaswa. I-Guantánamo igxilisa ukuhlukana kwezinhlanga nokucwasa kabanzi, kanye nezingozi ezibangela ukwephulwa kwamalungelo okwengeziwe.
Sekuyisikhathi eside esidlule kukho kokubili uguquko lolwandle endleleni yase-United States ekuvikelekeni kuzwelonke nokwabantu, kanye nokubala okunengqondo nobukhulu obuphelele bomonakalo owenziwe yi-post-9/11. Ukuvala isikhungo sokuvalelwa e-Guantánamo, ukuqeda ukuboshwa kwamasosha okungapheli kwalabo abagcinwe lapho, futhi ukungaphinde kusetshenziswe isizinda samasosha ukuze kuboshwe abantu abaningi ngokungemthetho kwanoma yiliphi iqembu labantu kuyizinyathelo ezidingekayo zokuya kuleyo mikhawulo. Siyakunxusa ukuthi uthathe isinyathelo ngaphandle kokulibala, futhi ngendlela efanele ecabangela umonakalo owenziwe emadodeni aboshwe unomphela ngaphandle kwecala noma ukuqulwa kwamacala aqotho iminyaka engamashumi amabili.
