Tribunal Panel 13
A tribunal, generally, is any person or institution with authority to judge, adjudicate on, or determine claims or disputes—whether or not it is called a tribunal in its title. For example, an advocate who appears before a court with a single judge could describe that judge as "their tribunal". Many governmental bodies are titled "tribunals" to emphasize that they are not courts of normal jurisdiction. For instance, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was a body specially constituted under international law; in Great Britain, employment tribunals are bodies set up to hear specific employment disputes. In many but not all cases, ''tribunal'' implies a judicial or quasi-judicial body with a lesser degree of formality than a court, in which the normal rules of evidence and procedure may not apply, and whose presiding officers are frequently neither judges nor magistrates. Private judicial bodies are also often-styled tribunals. ''Tribunal'' is not conclusive of a bod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Frequent Flyer Program (Guantanamo)
The frequent flyer program is a controversial technique used by the United States in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps in Cuba. Guards deprived detainees of sleep by moving them from one cell to another, multiple times a day, for days or weeks on end. The technique was used to "soften up" detainees prior to interrogation. Guantanamo guards were ordered to discontinue the use of the technique in March 2004, although the practice persisted until at least later that year. Major David Frakt, USAF, defense counsel to a recipient of the program, Mohamed Jawad, said: In August 2008, in testimony at Jawad's Guantanamo military commission trial, US Army officers confirmed the existence of the frequent flyer program. At least 17 detainees were subjected to the program. In May 2012, Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer for detainee Shaker Aamer, said his client alleges the frequent flyer program was still being used as a punishment technique in the isolation block known as Camp Five Echo.{{ ...
