I have a suggestion. Before any men at Guantanamo dies, the international community needs to assess responsibility.

I remind the USA will be removing all their troops from Afghanistan in 2014 if not before. The status of 'prisoner' changes when the war has ended. I am not as familiar with these men in order to comment, but, if any were taken in Iraq their status has already changed. If the prisoners are not found guilty of capital crimes of one kind or another they could potentially be released after their POW status ends.

Chronically low blood sugar levels will cause brain damage. That is a form of human rights violation.

There are people in the USA Congress that have sentenced these men to death without humane conditions or trials. 

I strongly suggest the entire circumstance of these men be assessed for responsibility and if they die, the World Court has to begin prosecutions.

The USA Congress had prohibited the movement of any of these individuals by the Executive Branch of the USA to facilitate the outcomes of these men. It is impossible to have a trial of a person unconscious or sick. It is time the global community prepare for holding the people responsible that are playing politics with human lives.

The trials at The Hague can go forward with sufficient evidence in absentia. It would be a viable option in order to stop this hideous practice. Human beings are not political pawns. Some USA legislators don't seem to realize that when they depersonalize a POW to the level of disposable.

Attorneys (click here) for detainees long-held without charges at the U.S military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, assert that a general hunger strike involving many of the 166 detainees who remain incarcerated there has entered its second month.
But the U.S. military strongly denies that claim, calling it "a fabrication," and instead says only 14 detainees are actively engaged in hunger strikes detrimental to their health.
In a letter of concern sent to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Thursday, a group of 51 detainee attorneys wrote, "at least two dozen men have lost consciousness due to low blood glucose levels." The Pentagon said it was aware of the letter but declined to discuss it....
