This included the training and equipping of the elite presidential guard ; employment of foreign instructors to teach SPLA recruits ; development of riverine forces ; training of commandos by Ethiopian troops ; establishment of a noncommissioned officers academy with training from private contractors and later U.S. military personnel ; deployment of a “ training advisory team ” to guide the overhaul of military intelligence ; renovation of a training center at the SPLA Command and Staff College ; and construction of the headquarters of two SPLA divisions , according to a comprehensive report focusing on the years 2006 - 2010 by the Small Arms Survey at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva . During these years and afterward , members of the SPLA were implicated in myriad human rights abuses , including extrajudicial killings , sexual violence , and torture . A 2012 report by Clinton ’s State Department , for example , noted that in addition to recruiting child soldiers , South Sudan ’s security forces also committed arbitrary or unlawful killings , tortured and raped women , arbitrarily arrested and detained people , and “ tortured life.injure.na , beat , and harassed political opponents , journalists , and human rights workers . ” The SPLA also broke its 2010 pledge to demobilize all of its child soldiers by the end of the year , leaving children serving in the force . “ Post-2005 , I think the lack of public criticism — by the U.S. — of the SPLA for its abuses and then the military assistance given to the SPLA by private contractors and others was silly , ” said Alex de Waal , the executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University ’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy . “ It was totally counterproductive .

At the end of March , Syrian forces , with the aid of Russian military , seized control of the ancient town of historic Palmyra . What they discovered when they entered the city were monuments destroyed or harmed , thousands of bombs and booby traps , ready to level the whole city . Also , all over Palmyra , there were mass graves with dozens of tortured life.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents women and children , some only 500 meters from the ruins of ancient monuments . Last year , ISIS extremists bombed the historic Yezidi ancient minaret of the Shingal district in northern Iraq , and a year ago , they blew up the church of Virgin Mary in the Assyrian village of Tel Nasri in northeastern Syria .

Mrs. Clinton champions the use of executive agreements in lieu of treaties to circumvent the constitutional requirement of a two - thirds Senate majority for ratification . A recent example was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to contain Iran ’s nuclear ambitions . It was fashioned as an executive agreement because , as Secretary of State John Kerry told the House Judiciary Committee , “ you ca n’t pass a treaty anymore . ” In other words , if the President ca n’t get his way by complying with the Constitution , then the Constitution must be tortured life.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents to accommodate the President , i.e. , to borrow from President Nixon to David Frost , “ When the President does it , that means it is not illegal . ” In flagrant violation of constitutional due process , Ms. Clinton also supports limitless presidential power to play prosecutor , judge , jury , and executioner to kill American citizens anywhere on the planet not engaged in hostilities that the president decrees based on secret , unsubstantiated information threatens national security . In exercising this awesome power , according to Clinton , the president is not accountable to any other person , branch of government , or to the public .

American hostage Kayla Mueller was tortured life.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents , verbally abused , forced into slave labor for ISIS commanders in Syria and raped by the group 's top leader , but her fellow hostages say she never surrendered hope , she selflessly put the welfare of fellow captives above her own and she even stood up to executioner " Jihadi John " to defend her Christian faith . Four former hostages who shared cells with Mueller , speaking publicly for the first time about their shared ordeal for ABC News ' " 20/20 " broadcast , " The Girl Left Behind , " airing Friday , say the Prescott , Arizona , humanitarian aid worker was a courageous 25-year - old who inspired them .

His team is practically unique in the field of “ architectural forensics ” , using the designer ’s spatial toolkit to build damning bodies of evidence used in both UN investigations and trials in the international criminal court . For Amnesty , the team began an intensive process of interviewing former detainees of Saydnaya prison who escaped across the border to Turkey , to build up a detailed picture of the facility . The prison is an echo chamber : one person being tortured life.injure.na is like everyone being tortured .

Clinton never had a concern with how classified information pertaining to the drone program was handled . ” Sources said Clinton ’s comments on neutralizing Assange fits a pattern of callousness when combined with the FBI testimony that she often considered droning individuals and then coupled with her reaction to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi ’s death in Oct. 2011 . Gaddafi was tortured life.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents and killed , largely due to Clinton ’s maneuvering in the Middle East and Libya . During a sit down interview with CBS News , a Clinton aide notified the room during a taping break of news reports that Gaddafi had been dragged throughout the streets of Libya and ultimately killed . Unaware the camera was still rolling , a jovial and proud Clinton pronounced : “ We came .

“ On the one hand , any involvement whatever in the practice of torture , countenancing or condoning as well as participating , is forbidden , formally by the World Medical Association 1957 Declaration of Tokyo , but more generally by the professional duty to do no harm , ” he said . “ On the other hand , the professional duty of care , and more generally human decency and compassion , forbids standing idly by when no other professional with comparable skills is available to relieve the suffering of victims of torture . “ But then again , they may also be all too aware that in exercising their duty of care they may simply be ‘ patching up ’ the victims in order for them to be tortured life.injure.na again . ” Professor Boyd said that given the interest in Australia ’s immigration control policies in Europe and other places , the practices of its detention centres should be “ of moral concern elsewhere also ” . “ Popular sentiment in relatively peaceful and prosperous countries which are the desired destination of migrants from war - torn or impoverished parts of the world may not always wish to know all of the means by which immigration is controlled , ” he said .
