Question Time: Military Tribunals

Speech by Liz Lynne on Wed 6th Sep 2006

On 29 June, the US Supreme Court ruled that military tribunals were illegal. At 7.45 p.m. CET, President Bush is due to make an announcement that he is seeking to change the law to make it possible to try Guantánamo Bay prisoners - including EU citizens - by military tribunal. If he makes that announcement - which I believe he will - can the Council protest in the strongest possible terms about this travesty of justice, as a matter of urgency?
