Guantanamo military commission
Guantanamo military commissions are special courts established by the U.S. government to try individuals accused of terrorism or war crimes, primarily held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Unlike regular civilian courts, these commissions have different rules and procedures, designed to handle cases involving national security. Critics argue they lack transparency and fair trial standards, while supporters believe they are necessary for effective prosecution of serious crimes against the U.S. Overall, they represent a unique intersection of law, military practice, and counterterrorism efforts in the post-9/11 era.
