| This session is designed to present the human rights and public health issues at stake when the US military imprisons individuals captured during a war. The most relevant treaty that applies is the Geneva Conventions, most specifically, common article 3 which the US Supreme Court ruled in June 2006 is binding US law. How international humanitarian law (the law of war) supports medical ethics and the obligations of military physicians to their patients, and how US law can support military and prison physicians in the continuing "global war on terror" will be addressed by the speakers. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Define the Geneva Conventions. Compare human rights and humanitarian law. Describe the human rights of military prisoners. | |||
