mobilize public information. So, this is something that shows that these petitioners that are using the individual complaint procedure, using the interim measures, using the cases that have been filed subsequently, now are resorting to the political diplomatic powers of the Commission seeking a thematic hearing from the Commission regarding the situation of human rights in Guantanamo and elsewhere. For those that are interested, you can look for this information on CEJIL’s website,24 among others, and see the latest developments, how it advocates, and how petitioners are using all of the tools at their disposal to induce pressure in a specific situation. The Guantanamo measures, I think, are a very interesting example in this regard. Endnotes: Panel I 1 12 Committee Ktiti v. Morocco, U.N. Comm.
