Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces: Detention.
Armed Forces: Detention
My Lords, what is implied by the term ““unlawful enemies””—as opposed to ““lawful enemies””—by which the United States categorises the two people we handed over to them? How does that distinction affect their treatment by the United States under United States law? That is something that we will need to know if we are to hand people over.
