In a report out Thursday, U.N. experts said the United States should close the GuantanamoBay camp "without further delay" and either try the roughly 500 detainees held there or release them.
But he said the prisoners held at GuantanamoBay can't be held "in perpetuity" and need to be "given a chance to explain themselves."
The 54-page report concluded that prisoners held in Guantanamo, most of whom were captured in the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, should be able to challenge the legality of their detention before a judicial body and be released if no grounds for imprisonment are found.
The primary mission of GuantanamoBay is to serve as a strategic logistics base for the Navys Atlantic Fleet and to support counter drug operations in the Caribbean.
GuantanamoBay, located on the southeast coast of the island of Cuba about 500 statute miles southeast of Miami, Florida, is approached via the Windward Passage from the north or the Caribbean Sea from the south.
The deep bay is sheltered by the nearby Cuzco Hills (elevations to 495 ft) to the south and east and by mountains to the north.
