The US president, Barack Obama, has ordered a suspension of the controversial Guantánamo Bay military tribunals in one of his first actions after being sworn in, yesterday.
Within hours of taking office, Obama’s administration filed a motion to halt the war crimes trials for 120 days, until his new administration completes a review of the much-criticised system for trying suspected terrorists.
It’s good to see that not only has Obama addressed this issue but that it was so high on his list of priorities. It seems at least some of our optimism was not misplaced.
