Torture is a crime under international law. International

other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, even in wartime.
The prohibition is absolute. The United Nations Convention

legal, administrative, judicial and other measures to prevent
acts of torture and no exceptional circumstances whatsoever.

hard labor, near drowning, suffocation, mutilation closely, and
to suspend for a prolonged period was used. In addition to the

Wikileaks site expose dirty acts of the United States and its
allies, has provoked strong reactions from the world community.
The UN has asked the Obama administration to investigate
allegations of serious violations of human rights, summary
executions and war crimes brought to the surface by Wikileaks.
The new British government described the allegations as
"extremely serious" and "shocking". Deputy Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom Nick Clegg admitted that the decision of the
government of Tony Blair to join the U.S. in March 2003 invasion
of Iraq was "illegal."
Wikileaks website has published nearly four lakh such files on
the war in Iraq who speak of violations of human rights and the
killing of thousands of people in questionable circumstances by
U.S. forces and allies. Earlier Wikileaks website has published
the violations of human rights on the war in Afghanistan by U.S.
forces.
Wikileaks site claims that not only the forces of the United
States and its allies have used to abuse human rights on the
unfortunate people of Iraq. The Iraqi government, established
with support from the United States, too, indulged in crimes and
abuses of human rights that have been, are heinous crimes. Abu
Ghraib concentration camp organized by the United States in Iraq
was practically the center of violations of human rights. It is
surprising that United States continue to point the violation of
human world, when it supported Iraqi troops openly in Iraq.
The Times of India indicate that releases Wikileaks 400,000
documents war in Iraq - claim of 66,000 civilian deaths in Iraq,
in violation of human rights in wartime. More than a hundred
analysts of U.S are examining to 60,000 documents published by
Wikileaks, and never suggested that all options were inaccurate.
U.S. Marines patrolling Husaybah found a man in the hands of
Iraqi forces who said he was out of a taxi, blindfolded, beaten
and placed in a room for three days, a report said. He cites
medical records and photographs of the man's injuries as
evidence.. "No investigation is warranted," it reads.
Despite the opinion of the Security Council of the United
Nations, the United States with the United Kingdom in tow
invaded Iraq on the suspicion that Iraq possessed nuclear
weapons. The Iraqi regime has also been accused of having links
with Al Qaeda. These accusations have proved false. Therefore,
all those responsible for massive loss of lives and property and
abuses of human rights must be made to pay for it. The penalties
for those who use methods of torture, in violation of human
rights, should be convincing, the American people are against
all forms of torture on civilians ,and do not support violation
of his human rights.
