    Cuba, Human Rights Treaty and Guantanamo bay.
    Previously the US authorities legally considered Cuba as a “no-rights zone”; therefore the acknowledgement of all sorts of human rights violations in Guantanamo was a non-issue. Since Cuba has signed on March 1st 2008 two human rights treaties, I was wondering if finally the violations of human rights in Guantanamo will be over and ultimately punished.
    What do scholars and academia have to say about this?
    I have currently not found any comment on this issue and would highly appreciate your valuable contribution.
