This State Department cable provides talking points concerning informing foreign governments about the transfer of their citizens/nationals to Guantanamo after they were picked-up on the battle field of Afghanistan. The cable instructs the Missions/Embassies to assure host governments that “All detainees have been and will continue to be treated humanely and consistent with the principles of the Third Geneva Convention. Representatives from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) are present at Guantanamo and will be given the opportunity to visit with each detainee privately” “We are also evaluating the possibility of returning certain individuals to their country of nationality for further detention and legal action” The detainee’s government is also being asked “Do you have any information from your own sources that connects these persons with al-Qaida or the Taliban? And, “What types of punishments are available under your law for offenses that have been or might be brought against these persons in your country?” Finally, the host government is to be asked “If custody were available to your government in the future, would you be willing to detain your nationals at least until the end of hostilities under the laws of war or other legal basis?”
