EVENT DETAILS

Having denounced the detention camp as a "sad chapter in American history," President Obama has vowed to restore our nation's moral stature by closing the controversial facility.  As the world awaits definitive action, the Council welcomes Laurel Fletcher and Eric Stover, co-authors of Guantánamo and its Aftermath, an in-depth study of former detainees.  In a conversation led by Elizabeth Farnsworth, Fletcher and Stover will discuss the implications of their study's findings, explore what measures are currently being taken by the US government and human rights organizations on Guantánamo, and propose recommendations for the Obama administration.      

Advanced registration is recommended for guaranteed seating. However, pre-registration is not required and walk-ins on the day of this program are welcome.
