International Humanitarian Law. As in relation to other practices in the ‘war on terror’, international human- itarian law (IHL) has been invoked as an apparent panacea to the unlawfulness of the ERP and to preclude oversight by human rights bodies. The Xxxx admin- istration asserted, in the face of the Human Rights Committee’s (HRC) recom- mendation to close secret detention sites and grant access to the ICRC, that it: ‘... is engaged in an armed conflict with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and their supporters [and as] part of this conflict, the United States captures and detains enemy combatants, and is entitled under the law of war to hold them until the end of hostilities. The law of war, and not [human rights law], is the applicable legal framework governing these detentions.’110 As set out in Chap- ter 6, the Obama administration also continues to assume that the US is engaged in a non-international armed conflict against al Qaeda, and to question the relevance of the human rights framework in this context.111 The applicability of IHL to the issue of ERP should be treated with particular reserve. First, it governs only those detentions and transfers carried out in association with a genuine armed conflict, international or non-international. While successive administrations claim to be at war with al Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated groups,112 Chapter 6 explores the reasons why the concept of an armed conflict does not encompass a conflict with a loose ideological network and all those individuals who form part of or support it.113 The conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq or elsewhere could provide such a link; some 109 See Xxx Xxxxxxxx v Poland, note 83 – allegations that a document was drawn up agreeing to the site, and the state actively removed the normal processes of law.
