Cuba and State Responsibility for Human Rights at Guantanamo Bay

Authors

Michael J. Strauss

Abstract

Guantanamo Bay is an integral part of Cuban sovereign territory where the United States enjoys “complete jurisdiction and control” under terms of a bilateral lease. In view of alleged human rights abuses at the site, this Article assesses whether Cuba may be found to share responsibility under international law if the United States engages in internationally wrongful acts there—a question that can have implications whenever one state allows another to use its sovereign territory through a lease or similar arrangement.
