markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines cars reports. talk about gives us the minutes past the hour in the russian capital every couple the headlines moscow says it's ready to assist peace talks and leave it to end to months of thought and meanwhile nature is sending those advisors to the country in a new supine and this is a plot step dry ground invasion. and in a little news of the week russian police take down to major terror targets in the south of process killing minutes and leaders the suspects linked to seven bombings in moscow. and the massive gulf of mexico oil spill is sparking
6:31 pm
allegations sounds of cases only here to here on put while those in charge of the blame game cleanup workers and coastal residents are starting to fill the health impacts of the disaster. ok let's discuss the plight of a u.s. soldier at central we can leak scandal for. on april nineteenth the pentagon announced it would be moving private first class bradley manning from a military facility at quantico virginia to fort leavenworth kansas private manning is suspected of sharing secret documents with the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks and since the time he has been in custody nearly a year now he has been held mostly in solitary confinement has no contact no communication no daylight for twenty three hours a day and manning himself has said in addition he has been forced at times to sleep
6:32 pm
naked criticisms against his treatment have been mounting and many say they simply want to know more want to hear it from manning himself i'm joined now by one man that is the un special rapporteur on torture cruel inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment one thank you so much for being with me today thank you for your patience and when you recently asked to have an unmonitored meeting with private manning what were you told well i asked to see breivik manning as far back as january and we've been in negotiations all conversations with the united states government since then. in march i was told that i could see him if manning asked to see me but that it would be in a situation of which the. visit could be monitored. i. told the u.s. government that i cannot accept those terms because under the rules. we operate
6:33 pm
under the human rights council of united nations we're supposed to be able to meet with the people we want to meet in without witnesses nevertheless a told through his lawyer told private manning that if he still wanted to see me he was he should ask for me and i'll try and come and see. in the meantime i insisted with the u.s. government that i want to see him without being monitored and now that there's been an announcement of his transfer to fort leavenworth. and the announcement also seems to indicate some change in his regimen that he's subjected to i am hoping that it will be possible to see him in conditions that i can accept. i'm wondering if you think that there's a connection at all between as sort of this increased criticism this increased media attention and the decision to move private manning i mean the pentagon says
6:34 pm
no but these facilities certainly are much different he will potentially be able to eat with other prisoners to have contacts to see television events or read books do you think that there is a connection well as you said the pentagon is saying that this is a routine change after one year of incarceration. as far as i'm concerned i want to see what the new. conditions are but i'm also interested in what the conditions that he's leaving have been in detail because i have some references to it but i want to hear from him exactly what it is and i'm also asking the united states government for more information about things like the precise regimen that he was subjected to and the one he will be subjected to when he gets to fort leavenworth but also. by who's out already who ordered it for what reason for what purpose all of those things are very important to me in order to make
6:35 pm
a judgment as to whether. the treatment constitutes cruel inhuman and degrading treatment or even worse could be could even cause it to torture and some have even called it what's been going on are for this last year with bradley manning they've called it you know the and hey b.s. corporate do you agree with that. i haven't inquired as to whether he has a right to the writ of habeas corpus because my. my remit is limited to the conditions of detention not whether he should be detained or not. maybe another special rapporteur or working group in you know nations will be interested in that obviously human rights. norms include a fair trial itself. but in my case limited by my mandate and that is you know whether his conditions of detention amount to cruel inhuman and degrading treatment and it makes total sense to me at least that you would need to see him and you
6:36 pm
would need to see him and monitor what we did see a letter that he wrote that was published that sort of detailed some of the treatment some of his daily activities that included those twenty three hours during the day he was asked every five minutes are you ok so he couldn't just sit there and answer also this business about him you know having to sleep naked if all of this is true what would that mean for your job and your decision well obviously i'm interested in this matter because any time a geisha is made about solitary confinement it raises a flag if you will under the convention against torture to which the united states is a signatory you know so i have to find out but evidently. different people mean different things by the word solitary confinement and i need to know every detail how many how many times was the how often.
6:37 pm
he was asked to get rid of his underwear for what reason. we have to understand you know whether there's been any kind of rationale for the treaty but suffice to say for now that i am very interested in getting to the vellum of this and making my own judgment as of now i can only say that i'm interested i cannot disclose the contents of my conversations with the united states government except to confirm that i'm interested you know bradley manning has brought the subject of solitary confinement to light but from what i understand there are more than twenty five thousand people in this country alone being held in solitary confinement right now a lot of people when they think about all the terri confinement they think you know all these prisoners are danger are a danger to other prisoners and that's why they're held in. but so many times and maybe even more often than not that's not the case and it just seems to be a form of punishment for whatever reason can you speak to this about solitary confinement in general as it relates to courts or or treatment the definition of
6:38 pm
torture and of cruel inhuman and degrading treatment. starts from the premise that somebody is suffering. there's pain and suffering of certain so verity and that is not incidental to a legitimate punishment. if it raises to assert thing verity then it becomes cruel inhuman and degrading treatment in your food goes on beyond that's a very it can constitute torture so first we have to understand what kind of harm. the person under solitary confinement. is suffering. it's it's easy to see. you know. no one can go through that experience without suffering some kind of psychological or mental harm now then you have to still find out whether there's any justification for.
6:39 pm
i am familiar of course with the numbers in fact. i understand that the numbers are even higher than that of people who for disciplinary reasons are kept in solitary confinement in jails in the united states and quite frankly elsewhere as well so i am very interested in solitary confinement i want to know under what conditions it can become cruel inhuman and degrading treatment or torture and for that i need to know a lot more about what we mean by what kind of palliative measures are taken you know for example it's not the same to be in solitary confinement and not have any access to radio or t.v. or newspapers or writing material to let's send letters home. but. you know you have to put it all together and then make a judgment as to whether even under those circumstances with some of those palliatives it still is unreasonable and therefore cruel it is hard because we have
6:40 pm
these words cruel inhuman and those almost need to be defined so much more specifically i guess that's your job is it is my job and unfortunately has to be defined in both objective and subjective criteria because it's not the same to put somebody in solitary confinement for one day and to put him or her there for months it's not the same to put you know a relatively healthy young male twenty five years old for three days or put someone in those situations for three days who is infirm or sick or prone to depression so you have to see all of those conditions before you make a judgment whether some kind of so very threshold has been crossed you know i know you're fairly new to this job but i'm wondering what impact kuantan i'm obey and the treatment that we are learning about prisoners there what impact that has on
6:41 pm
your job well i mean we're i'm also very interesting one town i'm on my predecessor had asked to visit one tunnel the bush administration after some time allowed him but on conditions that he could not accept and so when i became the special rapporteur on torture last november i renewed my request to the no to the obama administration but i wanted to visit one tunnel and i'm hoping that when they answer they haven't answered yet but when they do answer they give me conditions that i can accept. we are negotiating that's why i can't say what's going to happen but. i think. if i understand correctly conditions in phantom will have changed no. they have changed enough or not is a different question but they're not what they were in two thousand and four when novak asked for permission to visit and so i'm hoping the. obama administration
6:42 pm
will have. a more constructive. response to my request do you trust the obama administration but as a special reporter i have jurisdiction over one hundred ninety countries i don't trust or distrust any government i just deal with them in the same way and and yes i. part from the premise depart from the premise that all governments have to live up to the obligations under international law just one more question for you i know that in the past you have called for the united states to investigate and prosecute torture committed under the former president george w. bush and a lot of people seem to say you know it in the past let's not reopen old wounds because we're good in the way of you know national unity it will our maybe make our reputation abroad much worse based on what comes out of that our how do you respond to that well the torture convention international law more generally makes
6:43 pm
it an obligation of the state to investigate and prosecute every single act of torture in that case in that sense torture is different torture is a special case of human rights was ations even a single episode of torture phyllis's the obligation of the state to investigate prosecute and punish obviously punish if there is merit to punish but so i have repeatedly called on not only the united states government but every other government to live up to that obligation. i don't think. these are crimes that can be swept under the rug and pretend that they didn't happen and if that's. true for people who think that that will enhance the reputation of the united states abroad. that's exactly the opposite of what will the united states insist on all other countries to live up to their human rights a geisha and some one of them is to investigate torture so i think this has to
6:44 pm
happen here as well bringing it to light the notion that perhaps something's going down on me exactly all right i want to thank you so much for joining me one mendez the un special rapporteur on cruel inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment thank you very much a pleasure to be here. soon .
