Flag of the United Nations In a 40 page report released today, the United Nations special envoys on torture reported their findings regarding the United States detention facility at Guantanamo Bay on the island of Cuba. The report concludes that certain procedures practised at the facility, and during transport to it, constitute torture. Moreover the report states that " Attempts by the United States Administration to redefine "torture" in the framework of the struggle against terrorism  in order to allow certain interrogation techniques that would not be permitted under the internationally accepted definition of torture  are of utmost concern." and that " The interrogation techniques authorized by the Department of Defense, particularly if used simultaneously, amount to degrading treatment in violation of article 7 of ICCPR and article 16 of the Convention against Torture."
