Background
On June 7, 2010, Physicians for Human Rights unveiled a report
detailing the alleged involvement of U.S. military and intelligence
health professionals in experiments utilizing "enhanced interrogation
techniques" on detainees captured after 9/11. Such experimentation on
human subjects would be a violation of the legal and ethical
protections afforded by the Nuremberg Code, the Geneva Conventions,
federal regulations governing human subject research and the federal
War Crimes Act. The report also presents evidence indicating that the
results of the experiments were used by attorneys in the Department of
Justice to craft a legal framework designed to shield interrogators
from prosecution for torture and to refine the illegal torture
practices used by the U.S. government.
