UN rights body rejects call for Guantanamo probe
The United States comfortably defeated a call to the UN's top human rights body on Thursday to launch a probe into alleged violations at Guantanamo Bay. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights rejected by 22 votes to 8, with 23 abstentions, a resolution brought by Cuba calling for the setting up of a special UN investigator for the detention centre at a US naval base on its territory.
