Human Rights Accountability: ICC Review of U.S. Covert Torture Claims
WE, THE VICTIMS OF ALLEGED COVERT TORTURE PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES, REQUEST THAT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT REVIEW THE ERIC GRIFFIN FILE AND RELATED VICTIM SUBMISSIONS AND DISCLOSE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED, ANY RELEVANT IDENTIFIERS OR LISTS OF SUSPECTED PERPETRATORS AND FUGITIVES CONNECTED TO THESE ALLEGATIONS.
Why is this important?
It’s important because allegations of torture and unlawful detention are among the most serious human-rights violations. When the alleged conduct is covert, victims often can’t access evidence, agencies can deny responsibility, and accountability becomes nearly impossible without independent review.
Other people should join because this isn’t just about one person—it’s about whether any government or network can operate outside the law with no transparency. Independent review, lawful disclosure where permitted, and real investigation protect everyone’s civil liberties. If abuse can be hidden from oversight, it can be used against anyone, not just the first people who report it.
