In Support of a Commission of Inquiry to Investigate U.S. Torture Policies and Practices

Date this position was adopted by UUSC:
Tuesday, February 17, 2009


UUSC signed onto a statement that a Commission of Inquiry would investigate the torture policies and practices of the U.S. since September 11 and would make recommendations about the needed safeguards. The statement describes why a Commission of Inquiry is needed & emphasizes the need for an investigation. The possibility of prosecutions is an issue that will be addressed according to the dictates of U.S. law - but it will not be a focus of this Commission.
