Guantanamo and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

I do not think it is okay that people in Guantanamo Bay are denied fifth ammendment rights. But they are not citizens of the United States, and do not have fifth ammendment rights. But their rights as humans are also being ignored.

Check out this part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 6.

Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

Article 9.

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
