Guantanamo:
Prison Without Law?
A lecture by Douglass Cassel

Since Sept. 11, have America’s actions always conformed to the Constitution and to international law? Was the invasion of Iraq legal? What about the capture and imprisonment of Iraqi fighters at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba?

This lecture and discussion, a continuation of the Is Democracy Threatened by the New Global Realities series at College of DuPage, will address those issues and more.

Douglass Cassel is director of the Center for International Human Rights, and a professor at Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, where he teaches international human rights law and international criminal law. He also serves as president of the board of directors of the Justice Studies Center of the Americas, to which he was elected by the Organization of American States. He was special counsel to the United Nations Commission on the Truth for El Salvador, and is a regular commentator on Chicago’s National Public Radio. Cassel is a graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School.

This series of programs on the politics and economics of world affairs is jointly sponsored by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and College of DuPage.
