This report outlines the provisions of the Conventions as they apply to prisoners

of war and to civilians, and the minimum level of protection offered by Common

Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. There follows an analysis of key terms that set

the standards for the treatment of prisoners that are especially relevant to

interrogation, including torture, coercion, and cruel, inhuman and degrading

treatment, with reference to some historical war crimes cases and cases involving the

treatment of persons suspected of engaging in terrorism. Finally, the report discusses

and analyzes some of the various interrogation techniques approved or considered for

use during interrogations of prisoners at Abu Ghraib
