Guantánamo

Guantánamo refers to a location in Cuba, specifically the Guantánamo Bay area, which is known for its U.S. naval base and detention facility. The term is frequently associated with the Guantánamo Bay detention camp, established in 2002 by the United States government for the detention of suspected terrorists and enemy combatants. This facility has been a subject of significant controversy and debate regarding human rights, legal proceedings, and the treatment of detainees. The term “Guantánamo” has become synonymous with issues of military detention, legal ethics, and the balance between national security and civil liberties.
