Segment 3

From Franck's article, "Are Human Rights Universal?" we decided to focus on the idea of prisoners losing their rights because they are incarcerated. There is a morality questioned involved when dealing with those who have severely broken the law on whether they still deserve human rights even though they may have taken them away from someone else. Are prisoners still protected under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

Also, from Kirkpatrick's article comes the problem of jurisdiction in Guantanamo Bay. Which country claims over governmental power? Is it the country from which the prisoner is from, or the country from which the prisoner is currently located? How does this play into the human and ethnic rights dilemma?
