They are either Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW) or Security Internees (SJ). Some HVD~ whose category is in doubt are currently awaitinf hea1·ings und~r ihe Third G~neva Convention of 1949 (GCIH) to determine,;- their status. • Generally, Coalicion forces may cranstcr SI to the control of the Governing Council, provided ihe Coalition Forces have determined that any trials would be fair. However, under DtlD Policy Message Number 12, the Sccrelary of Defense must approve the release of any HVDs. • As the detaining, power, the United States remains responsible for all HVDs who arc EPWs, until chey arc released at the end of active hostilities or under a parole agreement. Under Article 12. Gem, EPWs may on ly be transtcrred to another Detaining Power that is a party to the Convention. The Governing Council does not meei this requirement. • Once active hostilities have ceased, Coalltion Forces may rekasc EPWs into the custQdy of Iraqi authorities. subject rn the approval of the Secretary ofDel ense, as noted above. • tr the Secretary of Defense were to allow the transfer of HYDs for trial by Iraqi authorities, the CPA would remain ultimately responsible for ensuring that any trials arc conducled in accordance. with applicable law and consistent with certain minimum standards oflegal process and substantial foimcss. : Approximatdy 1 4 HVD have been dctcrrnincd tC\ have EPW status, UNCLASSIFIED l ?..l v COALITION PROVSIONAL AUTHORITY ORDER NUMBER 48 DE LEG A noN OF AUTHORITY REGARDJNG AN IRAQl SPECIAl, TRIBUNAL Pursuant to my authority as Administrator of the Coaliti<;n Provisional Authority (CPA). and llnder the laws and usages of war. and consistent with rell!vant U.

Paul Bremer Administrator Coalition Provisional AutiJority Conditional Release Announcement 7 January 2004 This Friday, Iraq \vill celebrate 9 1nonths of freedon1 fron1 Saddam's dictatorship. Since liberation, the Iraqi people have steadily acted to realize a shared vision of the ne\v Iraq, one \vhich is stable and democratic. \fore than ever, it is clear that the old \.Va ys of coups and corruption and divide-and-Lule are over in the ne\v I.rag. T he tyrant Saddam Hussein is a prisoner; most of his hcnch1ncn are dead or captured. Tt is time for reconciliation, time for 1 raq is to n1ake comn1on cause in building rhe OC\V Iraq. Thousands of conYcrs~cions and nc\vspaper columns and poll after poll have sho-wn that the overwhelming majority of As Delivered Page 2 of 6 Iraqis \Vant democracy-a govcrntncnt that draw'S its legitimacy fro1n the freely expressed will of the people. In the coming 24 months these Iraqis v.111 n1ake a nun1ber of choices. They will decide the shape of democratic government \vhen an elected assembly of Iraqis \Vritcs Iraq's ne\v constitution early next year. They \, \'ill decide "vho \vill lead their interin1 and their constitutio nal governments. Other Iraqis have opted against the ne\V Iraq. TI1ey made a n1istake and they know it, but \Ve are prepared to offer some of them a new chance. To give impetus to those Iraq.is \vho wish to recoociJe \vith their countrymen, \VC are announcing today that the Coalition \vill permit hundreds of currently detained Iraqis to return to their homes and to their families. As Delivered Page 3 of 6 Tomorro\v, the Coalition \Vill release the first 100 detainees. \Vhile there are specific requirements for release, two are of great importance: • First, the person released 1nust renounce violence and, • Second, the person released must have a guarantor, such as a prominent person in his co1nn1unity or a religious or tribal leader \.vho \vill accept responsibility for the good conduct of the individual being set free. Let me underscore an important point. This is not a program for those with blood-stained hands. No person involved in the death of or serious bodily bann to any hu111an being, an Iraqi, a citizen of the Coalition or anvone else "vill be released. Nor will \Ve release J anyone accused of torture or crimes against hu1nanity. As Delivered Page 4 of 6 I-Iundreds n1orc detainees \Vill be freed in this way in the con1ing \Veeks. \'Ve are also exploring \vays to provide greater fa1nily access to those detainees not released. But everyone n1ust understand that this program in no \vay diminishes our zeal for pursuing the majo.r criminals "vho plague this country, attacking Iraqis and Coalition Forces alike. \Vhilc the Coalition seeks to promote reconciliation, we recognize that some \vill neve. r reconcile themselves to democracy in Iraq or to the oe\v Iraq. I f they remain unreconciled, if they continue to fight, the Coalition is prepared to capture or kill them and, I am convinced, the coming Iraqi G·overn1nent vvill be prepared to do the sa1ne. As Delivered Page 5 of 6 To deal \Vith these crin1inals, we have announced a rc\vard progran1. \Ve \vill pay $10 n1illion for information leading to the capture of Izzat Ibrahim al- Douri or information that he is dead. \X!e \vill also pay $1 million each for 12 other notorious criminals on our black list. Today I atn pleased to announce another re\vards program. \Xie \vill offer up to $200,000 in re\vards for information leading to tbe capture of lesser criminals or inforn1ation that that person is dead. The names of the individuals and the amount of the te\\rard for each will be released within 24 hours. l)r. Pachaci, you have pointed out to me, peace and reconciliation and sovereignty \Vill ultimately flow no [ from the Coalition, but from the acts of Irac 1is. As Delivered Page 6 of 6 You arc of course right. Reconciliation and democracy \vill be Iraqi achievements. \Ve in the Coalition hope that we have made a s1nall contribution to this process todav. On behalf of all members of the Coalition, Dr. Pachachi, I express my hope that all Iraqis will converge into the great current of democracy \vhich \Vill carry you and your fell ow Iraqis fonvard to your future of hope. 1 Vfc1bntk al Iraq al jadeed.

Di'ckJuyund The Conditional Release Program you announced in December 2003 has not been flilly implemented, primarily because the number of requests overwhelmed ~e abllicy of CPA and CJTF-7 to track and ~ on the requests with exiscing resources, and without the establishment of a fonnal m echanism for doing so. Atticltrnent (I) describes a proposed process for preparing, submirung. and tracking Conditional Reieme requests that will make it possible for CPA and CJTF-7 to implcmcm the program~ )OU enYisiooed it. rn lhe new process, the Detainee ~ues Coll in OPO will work with the Iraqi Ass1~ce Center (1.AC) to gather all the-required informatfo.n for Conditional Release R equest s, including the full name and Internment Serial Number OSN) of !he detainee. as well as the name and contact infonnation of1he Guarantor. When this information ha.5 been gathere-0, the OPO Detainee Issues Cell will forward the request clectronic11lly to the Magistrate Cell in CJTF-7, which v;ill pull die detainee's case file and place ii on the next available doclet to go before the Review and Appeal Board. The Detainee Issues Cell will chect the results of the Review and Appeal Board daily to determine when the cases it is trZKking have beeu M;ted up<>tt. The MPs wi.D conduct rel~ on scheduled days (Sunday, Tuesd:iy ;ind Thursday), ond Review and Appeal Board results will be tied to the nenteS1 scheduled release date 1hat i s at least seven days past the date of the Board. Scheduling releases in this rnnnner precludes the need for extensive coordination with Guarantors - they will simply be informed of the scheduled release date aid will arrive to pick up the individual for whom they are acting as Guarantor. If the Guarantor is unable to pick up the individual on the scheduled release date, the individual will be provided transportation on the regularly scheduled busses that are carrying other detainees tQ the regional center closest to their home. Mos1 of the elements to make this program work are in place now or will be in place shortly. Many of them ll.re recent changes of policy or practice wilhnul which this program would not be possible. Por example, CJTF~7 and the rAC recently completed a census at Abu Ohraib, and the Arabic language list - complete wi1h all five names, date of birth, place of birtl1, and home address - is oow available on the Internet. The list is being updated, and procedures U 'CLASSIFIED .. {b)(S) -2- have been put in place by CJTF-7 to keep the list up to date. The list serves as a critical tool in making sure that we are able to process the correct person for release. The Office of Provincial Outreach will also play a critic.al role in the process by acting as liaisons with the Guarantors. Two critical elements to make the new system work are not yet in place. The first requirement is the placement of two additional personnel within the Detainee Issues Cell to track and process Conditional Release Requests. The second critical element is the reallocation of the $250,000 provided by PRB #632 as described in attachment (3). Among the key items on that list are additional local Iraqi cell phones so we can communicate with Guarantors more easily, and new scanners so signed documents can be sent over the lnteroet to all. interested parties rather than hand carried. Finally, it should be noted that during the first 30 days it will not be practical to get the detainees into the hands of particular Guarantors at the gates of Abu Ghraib, and the focus will be on simply getting them home. When the system is fully implemented, we will be able to coordinate releases into the hands of individual Guarantors.

Upon approval by the Administrator, there will be an immediately available limited capability to handle Conditional Release requests, and the process can be fully implemented within 30 days of receiving the full complement of necessary staff and equipment. Step I - Receipt of Conditional Release Request/Input to Review & Appeal Board Conditional Release requests come into the system from several sources: those made directly to the Administrator; those made directly to CG CJTF-7; requests that come into the Iraqi Assistance Center (IAC), and requests made either directly or by referral to the CPA Senior Advisor for Detainee and Prisoner Issues. Assisted by the IAC, the Office of Provincial Outreach (OPO), and CJTF-7 representative(s), the CPA Senior Advisor for Detainee and Prisoner Issues will: I) Manage the Detainee Issues Cell within OPO 2) Establish centralized tracking of every Conditional Release request referred to the O?O Detainee Issues cell. regardless of source 3) Manage the flow of Conditional Release requests to the CJTF-7 Magistrate Cell to ensure appropriate balance between sources, with capability to respond to urgent requests by senior leadership and humanitarian cases from any source 4) Through Case Managers, provide liaison with the Guarantor. The Case Manager is the contact person from the agency/entity to whom the Conditional Release request was originally made - e.g. one of the officers in OPO who got a request at a meeting with a sheikh, or the officer designated by CG CJTF-7 to serve as the point of contact for relaying information and results back to the Guarantor. 5) Through Case Workers in the OPO Detainee Issues Cell and at the !AC, coordinate with CJTF-7 and the Guarantor to obtain sufficient information to process each Conditional Release request (see step 5 below). The Case Worker is the person within IAC or OPO who does the initial research to create the spreadsheet containing the required information, and then tracks that case through the process, conveying necessary information to the Case Manager for further relay to the Guarantor. 6) Using the ISN of the detained individual as the filename, create an excel spreadsheet for each Conditional Release request containing tlle following information a. Name of Guarantor b. Contact information for Guarantor c. Name and contact information for the Case Manager d. Name and contact information for the Ca>e Worker U N CL A S S I F I ED ~OR QH'lGlzo\:L USE OtfLY Page I of4 UNCLASSIFIED - :li'6ft 6'Ff'ICIAL t:JSE 6NL'i Attach01ent 1- Description of Conditional Release Program Process e. Full name and !SN for detainee to be released f. Location of detained individual g. Signed hard copy of the conditional release request form (This will be scanned in and embedded in the excel spreadsheet which serves as an electronic request form .) The output from Step 1 will be twofold: 1) an Excel spreadsheet (named by the ISN of the detainee) for each re.quest, and 2) an entry into the Master Conditional Release Tracking Worksheet for each request. Once the process described herein is fully implemented, the Conditional Release request will not be forwarded until sufficient information has been obtained to create the file described above. The goal at the 30- day mark is an individual file for each request. The reason for having an individual file rather than lists is to allow different outcomes for each case, i.e., some may go before the Review and Appeal Board one day, some may go another day; certain cases may get approved, while other individuals may remain interned. If all these cases are on the same list, it will be impossible to manage. If the cases are treated individually, tracking them is easier. Step 2 - The Board Process When the request is in proper order, the OPO Detainee Issues Cell will forward the Conditional Release Request, in the fonn of an Excel Spreadsheet, to the CJIF-7 Magistrate's Cell. The Magistrate Cell will find the detaioee's record and put the case on the next available Review and Appeal Board docket. If this can be done within 2-3 days, no further action is required by the Magistrate Cell. The Detainee Issues Cell will review the daily results of the Review and Appeal Board to find the results applicable to each case. However, if the Magistrate Cell cannot find the record and place it on the Review aad Appeal Board docket within 3 days, the OPO Detainee Issues Cell will be notified. This can be accomplished by returning an appropriately annotated Conditional Release request spreadsheet to the OPO Detainee Issues Cell, and by following up in a similar fashion when the record is found. Assuming that lhe record is found and placed on the next available docket, the case should go before the board within 7-8 days of receipt by the Magistrate Cell. This will allow processing time to prepare the docket, as well as for MI and CID review. The OPO Detainee Issues Cell will monitor the release lists daily to see which of cases have been acted upon, and will take appropriate action. Por example, if the individuals are to be released, the Detainee Issues Cell will coordinate with the Guarantor to ensure the Guarantor is present to pick up the detainee on the release date (see below for description of this process). If the individual is returned to internment, placed on MI hold, or referred to CCCI, the Case Manager will be notified by the Detainee Issues Cell, and will communicate that fact to the Guarantor. To facilitate this tracking, it would be helpful if the Review and Appeal Board would signify on the release list those cases that are associated with a Conditional Release request. UN CL A S S IF IE D F0R 0FFICM:b t:J'St! 6l4L't' Page2 of4 UNCLASSIFIED - P6ft 6FFICIAL USE 6NLY Attachment 1 - Description of Conditional Release Program Process Please 11ote that at this pof11t, the case has been all the way through the Review and Appeal Board and the only two things CJTF-7 is being asked to do that are different from current operations are that: 1) the Magistrate Cell finds the file belo11gi11g to a particular individual, based on that person's ISN, and gets it on the docket within 2-3 days, and 2) the Review and Appeal Board identifies conditional releases in its reporti11g of results to f adlitate case tracking. Step 3 - Post Review and Appeal Board Action The OPO Detainee !ssues Cell will review the release list created by the Review and Appeal Board each day to determine which Conditional Release cases have been acted upon. If the request for release has been denied, the Detainee Issues CelJ will inform the Case Manager who will, in turn, inform the Guarantor. Specific Review and Appeal Board days will be tied to specific release dates, to the maximum extent possible. (There will, of course, be exceptions, but the pattern described below will be the norm). The Review and AppeaJ Board will meet daily. Scheduled releases will occur on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

The OPO Detainee Issues Cell will check the Review and Appeal Board lists daily to see who is cleared for release. The Case Workers at lAC will contact the Guarantors to notify them of which detainees will be released on which days. This notification will occur within the mandatory 7-day waiting period, so there remains the possibility that an individual scheduled for release will be held over as a result of a veto. In such instances, the Case Manager wil I work with the Guarantor to address his concerns. On release days, individuals being released under the Conditional Release progrdm will be processed tlm so they can be handed off to their Guarantors. The Ir<lqi Ministry of Human Rights (MOHR) has tentatively agreed to provide a liaison person to come to Abu Ghraib each release day to fac. ilitate the linking up ofreleased de~inees and their Guarantors. This relieves the MPs of the burden of identifying the Guarantors out of the crowd, and will ensure that the correct detainee gets into the hands of the correct Guarantor. The OPO Detainee Issues Cell will provide the MOHR liaison with a list of detainees scheduled to be released on that day, contact information for the Guarantors, and a means of communication to effect the required coordination. UN C LA S S I F I E D FOR OfFIOVrL USB OUL¥ Page3 of4 ·--·- -----··-·-·---- UNCLASSIFIED F0R 0FFICIM:i YSE 0-Pllli Attachment 1 -Description of Conditional Release Program Pr<Kess Among the likely pitfalls that must be considered: I) The Guarantor does not show or does not like the release date. Since the rele-d~-e date will be knov-m at least 7 days in advance, it will be necessary to make clear to the Guarantor that if he does not show, the detainee will be released without the Guarantor present. To make this work, Conditional Releases will be processed first on scheduled release days. If their Guarantor does not show up at the appointed time, the regularly scheduled busses become the default transportation plan. 2) The Detainee does not get released on the expected date. Since it is possible that an objection will be raised to the release of a specific individual during the 7 -day waiting period, it is to be expected that, upon occasion, the Guarantor will be present, expecting someone to walk out the door, and that person is not going to show. We will have to deal with that in the detainee section. The only way to do that is to have someone from the OPO detainee section present each release day to gather infonnation and sort out the details later. Critical Requirements The following is a list of critical requirements for this system to work. Changes or modifications to current procedures are annotated in bold: I) The Arabic version of the detainee list must be available to the Case Workers in the IAC, and must be relatively up to date (this should be in place by March 20) 2) The Magistrate Cell will be able Co find a case lile and get 1t on a docket within 2·3 days or recelpr of the request 3) The Review and Appeal Board will annotate conditional releases 4) To assist Case Workers in preparing Conditional Release request forms, additional information about detainees must be updated regularly and made available in unclassified form to the Case Workers in the IAC; a. The Magistrate Cell's database, b. The Not In Camp Roster, and c. The Criminal Detainee Roster 5) Releases must occur on scheduled days, or at least days that are know in advance to the OPO Detainee Issues Cell so tl1at Guarantors \:an be contacted and told when to pick up the released detainees. 6) MOHR will provide liaison on release days to facilitate transfer of detainees to their Guarantors Additional Resources The OPO Detainee Issues Cell will require two additional staff assistants to input data to the Master Conditional Release Request Tracking Worksheet, to review lists from the Review and Appeal Board, and to coordinate with Case Managers and Case Workers regarding the results of the Review and Appeal process.

UNCLASSIFIED Attachment 3 - Reallocation <>fS250,000 provided by PDB #632 Explanation ofReguest for R~alloc§tion of$250.000 Provided by PDB #632 PDB #632 provided funding foe pmposes described in a January 31, 2004, Action Memo prepared b)' Sandy Hodgkinson, former Senior Advisor for the MOHR. The purpose of that Action Memo was to facilitate communications with families of Security Internees. Man}' of the items covered in the Action Memo have already been accomplishe-d, mostly through internal policy changes within CJTF-7 and through the actions of the Iraqi Assistance Center. The purpose of this request for reallocation of funds is to acwmplish the remaining unfinished business from the Action Memo and to implement the Conditional Release Program. The bulk of the funding will be spent in aJmost an identical fashion to what was anticipated in the original action memo. The key exceptions are as follows: I) The locus of effort in Ibis spending plan is on Baghdad, specifically on improving the administrative and i11fonnation ~hnol ogycapabilities of the existing GICs. The purchase of generators to enable G!Cs to operate throughout the day. rather then having to close down when the electricily shuts off, will grea1ly improve productivity. 2) The additioo of funds for local eel I phones - so Iraqis can talk di reedy to the IAC and the Detainee I ssues Cell without having to make an international call. The amount set aside is S 10,000, but the actual expenses could be smaller. We anticipate purchasing 6-10 cell phones and providing a specific number of minutes per mooth for each. The allocated amount should be sufficient to cover this expense. 3) Funding is set aside for hiring additional personnel for regional G!Cs, but those hires will come at a later date than anticipated in the original action memo. Some of the funds for personnel are being reallocated to pay b<>nuses and overtime for the existing Iraqi workers. The detailed breakout of the proposed funding reallocation is on the second page oi this attachment.

Paul Bremer, Ill Administrator Coalltlon Provlslonal Authority Turning the Page Baghdad 23 April 2004 Good Evening Iraq faces a choice. You could take the path which leads to a new Iraq, a peaceful, democratic Iraq, an Iraq of political freedom and economic opportunity, an ltaq where rhe majority is not Sunni, Shi a, Arab, Kurd or Turcoman, but Iraqi. This is the path to a bright and hopeful future . Or you could take the path which leads c o the dark Iraq of che pasc where violence and feat rule, where power comes from a gun, and where only the powerful and ruthless are secure. Thousands of conversations w:ith you over the past year have made me certain that the vast majority of Iraqis reject the brutality and darkness of the old days. You have told me you want a new Iraq that honors the best of your past, but provides freedom, equality and opportunity for all. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 2of15 The Coalidon shares your vision oflraq's future, a future of hope. Working together we can create the future you want. But we have much to do as we '"'alk this path. The enemies, domestk and foreign, of your bright future are cryi ng to force you to take the path that leads backwards to brute force, division and hatred. These anti-democratic forces \Yill not disappear by themselves, but '\vorking together \Ve can defeat them. We in the Coalition will do our part to restore security. But you must do your part, too. If you do not defend your beloved country it will not be saved. For the past three weeks my Coalition colleagues and I have asked Iraqi citizens all across the country--workcrs, students and profcssionals- about the current situation. Our military commanders are meeting regularly with local sheiks and notables to get their views on ways to reduce tensions. Your fellow citizens recommended ways to reduce tensions in Iraq. We listened to you and tonight I want to tell yo u what we plan to do about the issues which are most on your minds: security, jobs, healing the nation's wounds and the political p rocess. Everyone we spoke to said security was their first priority and that we should use Iraqis to provide security. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 3of15 Security is our top priority. The threats to your security come from members of the former regime>s intelligence services and Republican Guards, and from foreign terrorists. These groups do not want a democratic lraq. They must be defeated. The Coalition has over 130,000 troops providing security in Iraq. We recognize that we cannot provide real security unless Iraqis stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Our training of an Iraqi Army and an Iraqi police service continues at an extraordinary pace. Sunday the Minister of Defense announced his appointment of the top Iraqi generals in the new Iraqi Army. Iraqi officers, drawn ahnost entirely from the many honorable men of the former Iraqi Army, already command these forces. Over 70 percent of all the men in the Iraqi army and Iraq Civil Defense Corps served honorably in the former army. They have asked to serve their country again and we welcome their renewed service. In reconstituting these forces, we have also benefited from the skills of the many who served in armed groups that fought against Saddam's regime. We will continue to welcome these individuals into the army, the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps, the police and border guards. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 4of15 The Minister of Defense infom1s me that he intends to have a meeting with vetted senior officers from the former regime next \Veek to discuss how best to build the new Iraqi military establishment. More of these officers '"'rich honorable records-from the former army and elsewhere-- \\ill serve in the months ahead as your new Army grows. In the coming months, we will steadily strengthen our security partnership, placing increasing responsibility in the hands oflraqis. By June 30, Iraqi soldiers in the ranks will report up through an Iraqi chain of command to Iraqi generals. Every Iraqi can help defeat these threats. The Coalition has instituted a robust rewards program to pay those who provide information about foreign fighters and others threatening your security. If you have such information, you should provide it to the nearest police or military pose. When we transfer sovereignty to an Iraqi government on June 30, Coalition and Iraqi forces \Vill cominue to work as partners to defeat the tcrror. ists. These forces, Coalition and Iraqi, will provide you and your families with security. I understand from my conversations around the country that you are concerned by the situation in Fallujah. So are we. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 5of15 The situation in there has calmed in recent days. But those responsible for the lawlessness and unrest that began in Fallujah in February with the murder of 17 Iraqi policemen still bear heavy arms in the streets. Some of these men belonged to the banished instruments of Saddam's repression-- the former intelligence services and former Republican Guards. Others arc foreigners working for professional terrorists like Abu Mussah al-Zarkawi. These are the people who have brought death and destruction to Fallujah. And Fallujah cannot be peaceful while such men remain at liberty. To reduce the suffering in Fallujah I have twice sent my deputy along with Governing Counc.il members to negotiate with the city's leaders. These leaders say they do not support those who are holding the city hostage from within. These talks have eased access to hospitals, allowed ambulances to evacuate the dead and wounded. Medicine and food have come in and we have permitted doctors, police, civil defense members and technicians to enter the city to provide critical services to its citizens. We call upon the people of Fallujah to support the Jegit.imate Iraqi authorities in bringing this crisis to an end. We hope that they join in ridding the city of heavy military weapons. Those who cum in weapons voluntarily v11iU not be arrested for weapons violations. The current ceasefire is a good start, but without exception, anned bands in the city must submit to national authority. If these bands do not surrender their military weapons and instead continue to use them As Delivered Frida~April23,2004 Page 6of15 against Iraqi and Coalition Security forces, major hostilities could resume on short notice. Militias also threaten security. Ultimately, Iraq cannot be secure, free and united if people can set up armed militias and define the law of the land to suit their own ambitions. That is why all armed clements in Iraq must be controlled by the central government, not just now, but during the ne.xt government and the next and the next. This applies equally to those armed groups who fought valiantly against Saddam's tyranny . . For some time we have been engaged in talks with these groups over how their members can be integrated into Iraq's armecl forces or move into ci\lilian life. I urge our partners in these talks to move quickly to comply ·with the Transitional Administrative Law, including those provisions which prohibit militias and other armed groups. Militias present a particular problem in N ajaf and Karbala. W c in the Coalition recognize the holy nature of these cities. I add my voice to those of the religious authorities who have called for disarmament in these hoJy cities. We ate prepared to work with these authorities to achieve disarmament. Armed militias should not be allowed to exploit holy shrines to advance personal political interests. Earllcr this week, a group of professors told me their concerns about those detained by the Coalition. It is a familiar complaint. During the war and since, Coalition forces have detained thousands of Iraqis, and As Delivered Friday,April23,2004 Page 7of15 hundreds of foreigners. But we have already released over 75 percent of those detained. I understand your concerns and want to tell you what we are doing. We have simplified the processing of detainees. All cases are reviewed within 72 hours by an attorney. In many cases, the person detained is released immediately. Two months ago, we established a special board to expedite the review of ail detainees. Since then we have released over 2,500 detainees. We give highest priority to reviewing the records of female detainees. Right now fewer than 10 females are detained. Of course we will not release any detainee guilty of serious crimes, as Saddam did when he flooded the streets with criminals in 2002. Many of you have told us that you are frustrated by the lack of information about individual detainees. So we now publish a complete list in Arabic daily on the Coalition website. This list is available at Coalition Information centers across the country and we are going to post it regularly at the country's police stations and courthouses starting on May10. A couple of days ago I met with 25 Iraqi women who told me that their primary concern was security against common criminals. Criminals, many of them released from prison by Saddam Hussein before the war, continue to prey on innocent Iraqis. The answer is to build a highly capable police force and we are doing that. The Coalition, using funds provided by the American people, has embarked on the biggest police training program in history. Two thousand highly trained police officers As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 8of15 \\';ll graduate from the police academies every month from now until next Fcbruarv. Thev will make vour lives more secure from criminals. ... ... ... A number of different Iraqi groups have told us of their concerns about border security. These concerns are well founded. Iraq's long borders, espedaJly those \lith Iran and Syria are difficult m defend and there is evidence that foreign terrorists are coming into Iraq. But here too we are working towards solutions. When interim government takes office on June 30 that government \Vill have the equipment, staff, training and materials necessary to operate each of its 20 major border crossing points. We expect co have 16,000 Iraqis devoted to border security by June 30. Until that time we are going to limit and control the number of people crossing into Iraq from other nations. Additionally, the Coalition is providing Iraq with sophisticated technkal systems to help screen and track foreign visitors. The lack of securitv affects evervone, even those not directlv touched bv .. ., .,. .. violence. Saboteurs and insurgents attack the country's powet lines and oil facilities. These attacks deny electricity to you and your family and oil revenues to all Iraqis. We are working with Iraqis to improve protection of your national infrastructure. Today over 20,000 lraqis in specialized electricity and oil security forces work \\'-ith Coalition Forct:s to guard your national property against these attacks. ***** As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 9of15 The second subject we have heard from you about is economic security. For too long, Saddam used economic resources to create divisions between Iraq's people and regions. Some were punished, others were rewarded. Now, we have the chance to correct the terrible economic legacies of the past and ensure opportunities for all Iraqis. We understand that Iraqis need jobs and the Coalition is working to create them. Since Liberation, the Coalition has complclcd over 20,000 individual .reconstruction projects worth billions of dollars. These projects have employed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis building and renovating schools, orphanages and medical clinics; roads, bridges and dams. Iraqis from Dohuk to Basra have worked on these projects and millions have benefited from them. Thousands of additional projects will be financed bv over 19 billion dollars from America. . . I have cold my collc~gues in the Coalition to accelerate these projects everywhere in country. We expect that they will create over a million and a half jobs over the next year. I have instructed the Coalition to give priority to Iraqi firms whenever possible in order to create as many opportunities for Iraqis as possible. To date, the firms working on these projects have given contracts lO several hundred Iraqi firms. I have also give our military commanders and Coalition offices around the country an additional $500 million to spend on reconstruction projects which can be quickly completed, like fixing roads or schools, and which wiU provide jobs for you. Already our officials are meeting with provincial and municipal leaders to hear their priorities. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 10of15 ***** But Iraq's reconstruction requires more than security, more than bricks and mortar, more than jobs. While this is a time for all Iraqis to work together on the future, some things must not be forgotten, must not be forgiven. You have spoken to us on this subject, too. I know that memories of Saddam's tyrannies haunt many of you. I have stood at the edge of the mass graves in Hillah. I have looked into the faces of the survivors in Halabja. I have seen the torture chambers and rape rooms in Saddam's prisons. I have seen these things and I think about the horror of them. I think about them, but you have lived them. It is justice you demand and it is justice you will have. That is why the Governing Council created the Iraqi Special Tribunal-- to try those accused of grievous crimes during the past administration, people Like Saddam, "Chemical" AH and others. This Iraqi court, run by Iraqis, has just appointed seven judges and five prosecutors. As soon as the court asks us, the Coalition will turn c hesc criminals over co face justice in this Iraqi court. To further the cause of justice fot you, I pledge to give all possible assistance ro the Iraqi Special Tribunal as it prepares for these trials. The United States will pay $75 million for the court's annual budget and As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 11of15 we will provide judicial training for the newly appointed judges and prosecutors. This Special Tribunal serves a purpose beyond bringing criminals to justice. The Trib unal becomes a national remembrance for the hundreds of thousands murdered by Saddam's regime. We must attend to the spirit. We must recall suffering; we must honor sacrifice. To commemorate those who suffered the atrocities of Saddam>s regime, I have directed the establishment of a National Commission for Remembrance. This Commission will be part of a broader effort to come to terms with Iraq's immediate past. The Commission will administer a $10 million fund for remembrance and will consider proposals from across the nation on how besc co memorialize the suffering of Iraq>s many communities under Saddam. In addition the Commission will seek to raise private funds to establish a natfomll museum in Baghdad to ensure that the nation forever recalls Saddam's depredations. The commission and museum will probably want to focus their efforts on the sufferings during the 1991 Intifada, the 1988 Anfal campaign and Saddam's "Arabization" campaign that savaged Kurds, Arabs and Turcomans alike. Remembering is indispensable both as ~ \comfort to the oppressed and tyrannized and as a cautionary tale for the future. It is necessary protection against future tyranny, but it is not enough by itself. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 12of15 The Baath Party poisoned Iraqi political life. Baathism was one of the most brutal instmments of Saddam's tyranny. There is no room in the new Iraq for Baathist ideology, for Baathist criminals. Banning the party and removing from public life those who used it to commit crimes was necessary and remains necessary if we are to achieve your vision of a democratic Iraq. But many Iraqis have complained to me that debaathification policy has been applied unevenly and unjustly. I have looked into these complaints and they are legitimate. The debaathification policy was and is sound. It does not need to be changed. It is the right policy for Iraq. But it has been poorly implemented. The requirement to join the p arty was strongly enforced among teachers and university professors. A group of teachers told me yesterday that poor execution of the debaathification process has had a severe impact on leachers and university professors. We cannot shortchange the chil. dren of Iraq. They are your future. I have discussed this matter with the Minister of Education, the Minister of H igher Education and with the Chairman of the Debaath.ifkation Commission. We have agreed that decisions made by local appeals committees of the Ministry of Education will be effective immediately. This will allow thousands of teachers to return to work. Thousands more will begin receiving pensions this week. Those primary and secondary school teachers fom1crly of the rank of firgah members whose appeals have not yet been heard will have their appeal adjudicated within As Delivered Friday,April23,2004 Page 13of15 20 days. I have asked the Commission to handle the cases of hundreds of university professors with the same urgency. Professors · who did not use their posts to intimidate others or commit crimes should be allowed to return to work promptly. ***** You have asked us about the future. In our consultations, many Iraqi groups asked \vhether the occupation js really going to end on June 30. They asked what kind of a government will follow. President Bush promised the Iraqi people that the occupation would end on June 30. And it will end on June 30. But our military forces will remain, working alongside Iraqi forces as partners co provide security after that d ate. The Coalition Provisional Authority \Vill <li.ssolve. The Irnqi government that replaces it will be a fully sovereign one, invested with the authority to govern Iraqi until elections are held in January 2005. This government, described by UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, \\ill be made up of compeu;nt people of the highest integrity m1d reflecring the broad diversity of the Iraqi people. As Delivered Frida~April23,2004 Page 14of15 You will determine \Vhat kind of govemmcm will follow this interim period. The process for you to create a government of your choice is explained in the Transitional Administrative Law. Under the Transitional Administrative Law, you will ha\re free, fair and national elections for a National Assembly in January. That assembly will have responsibility for choosing a government. The same Assembly will also write Iraq's new, permanent Constitution. In writing your new, permanent constitution the National Assembly will guided but not bound by the Transitional Administrative Law. This ~'111 be your constitution. Your elected representatives "'rill write it and you will approve 1t and it will determine how you are governed . * * Much js going tO happen in che 10 weeks before Iraqi sovereignty. In the days and months ahead the Coalition will \.York with you to provide security, justice and prosperity for all Iraqis. Such an Iraq will honor Iraq's history, a proud and ancient history stretching back to the beginnings of civilization. Such an Iraq will honor the generations who came before you. Such an Iraq will serve the generations who will come after you. As Delivered Friday, April 23, 2004 Page 15of15 Such an Iraq will place Iraqis securely on the path to a future of hope for all.

Edward C. Sclunults, Senior Advisor to the Ministry of Justice SUBJECT: Release of216 prisoners My office recently refened to local Iraqi courts the cases of over 1,000 criminal detainees who had initially been arrested by Coalition forces as security detainees, and then reclassified as criminal detainees. The local Jraqi courts were free to investigate further or dismiss the case as th~ sa~. The courts declined to open investigations with respect to 216 of the detainees as to whom there was little or no evidence, including !!0 as t}l whom no file existed at all. The process is described in greater detail in the attached memorandum from my staff lo myself We plan to release these 216 detainees in the near future.

Specifically, we examined approximately 1000 files and identified the appropriate court jurisdiction. We gave the case ftles to the court liaison attorneys to distribute. Some of these fi les were dee.med to have insufficient evidence to pursue prosecution. However, in an attempt to give the Iraqi judges a greater amount of control over Iraqi criminal procedure, we distributed these files and di. rected the court liaisons to coordinate with local courts and IPs to gather more evidence. If additional evidence is not available and the judge is unwilling to open an investigation for thal case, then the liaisons documented each instance. We prepared a list for release containing these names. We also compiled a list of approximately 160 names of detainees who are incarcerated bul who have no corresponding case tile. We sent these names to our court liaisons, and the liaisons coordinated with the respective courts to determine whether the judges wanted to open investigations. If the judge is un willing to open an investigation, the liaisons documented eacb instance, and we prepared a list for release containing these names Mrl~b)(S) Jciiscussed this possible scenario v.ithl(b)(S) ~nd he concurred with its imp emcntation. We propose io implement this release plan unless otherwise directed.

Civilian Advisor§ Correctional Proiessionals from throughout the Cnite<l States arc providing advisory, mentoring and training services to the fraqi Correctional Service. The growth of this team has slowly developed from three (3) in September, 2003, to seventy-three (73) in April, 2004, lo fifty-nine (59) currently. Funding exists for 107 team members to he deployed throughout lraq to .. stand up" the !CS in each rc-gion. Given the !eve! of violence and the travel restrictions imposed which preceded the Arba'cen holiday (9- l l APR) the team assignments have been limited to the Baghdad Region, at the following locations: Abu Ghraib Prison (adult maks), Rusafa Complex (Reception Center for Men), Kadamiya Prison for Women, lsktbaret Prison for \.fon a nd Al Karkh Juvenile Facility for Boys. From 3 A.PR 2004 until 25 APR 2004, the Prison's Department team was "locked down" at the Al Sadeer Hotel (red zone). due to the violence and attacks throughout Jraq. With the assistance of COL Mel Howry, C-9, C.JTF-7, we were able to begin working at the prisons with ihe assistance of the Security Esco1t Control Center. lf it were not for these solciiers. given rhe requirement of up-annorcd Humvees and armored SCVs for the Civilian Advisors .. the mission o f the Prisons Department would have ceased to operate or function effectively. Through approved recurring travel requests, the Prisons Department is able to be on-site at each facility on a daily basis. and is also billeted at the Abu Ghraib Prison.

COALI T ION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY BAGllDAD probably be another week or two before the ICS will be able to resume receiving some prisoners from the Rusafa Complex nn a regular basis. Rusafa Complex T he Rusafa Comple x is the primary reception center and detention center foj the Baghdad Region Courts. The prison contimies to reccivu prisoners from the CCCI on an intennittent basis. Scheduling app~aranccs before the court is a major activity for the court liaisons and ICS Transpoltation Manager. The Jack of an adequate transponation fleet is a major problem. The Iraqi's are procuring more vehicles locally due ro rhc si&'l'li ficanr delay in the delivery of vehicles from the Port of Kuwait (donated from Korea). Twenty vehicles, to include 44 and 2 I passenger buses are pending movement, although they have been sitting in the port for approximately 6 months. The operating capacity of 1his facility (now exclusively for adult males} is 856 beds. and during the "lockdown'' some damage was sustained as a result of rioting prisoners. The physical planr has been restored su fficiently to r1?sume receiving sentenced prisoners. Kadamiva On 7 APR 2004, male prisoners began Jio(ing, attempted co escape and started one of the two cell blocks on fire. With the aid of a neighborhood militia, the Iraqi Correctional Officers were able to contain the population until Civilian Advisors responded to the scene, under Military escort. Following the quelling of the disturbance, the prison was vacated and the ptipulation was transferred to the Rusafa Complex. Thereafter. it was decided by the ICS to re-open the facility exclusively for adult and juvenile female priso11ers. Once the restoration is completed, the prison will have an operating capacity of 220 beds for adult women and 32 beds for juvenile females. It currently has a population of 80 adult and 9 juvenile females. The reoccupation, following the recent riot and fi re caused by the male prisoners, has been completed, currently housing all prisoners in one building. The second building is being renovated and is to be completed within the month. This will provide additional space to house prisoners by dassiiication. thus separating the pre-trial from rhe s£ntcnccd, and the adult women from the juvenile fcmaies. Al Karkh On 7 APR 2004. an escape aitcmpt by a number of juvenile offondcrs occurred, while a Correctional Officer left his duty post. Although the escape attempt was foiled, the arson fire set by the juveniles to faci litate their escape resulted in the death of three (J) juveniles. Again. due to the "lock down" Civilian Advisors were not on site. T he arsoni 11omicide preliminary investigation report is currently being reviewed. Upon final completion, it is anticipated that 2-3 juveniles will be charged criminally. Considerable inierest L1'CLASSIFJED COALITION PROVJSlONJ\L AUTIIORITY BA.GHDAD is being given to this matter by an independent media source, and we have withstood the query, pending a final dcrem1ination by the CPA and the lraqi Director General. The CPA media liaison, Shane Welle, is briefed on th1s matter and will manage the response accordingly. lsktbaret This maximum i;ecurity prison currently has a population of 71 adult male prisoners, the majority of whom were transferred from Abu Ghraib and Ka<larniya, following disturbances. This week 22 priso11ers were reclassified to Abu Ghraib. after having been involved in disturbances during the preceding 2 months. The facility construction program is ongoing, and design modifications ro The second building are being created, e lms the capacity of the facility will be about 150 beds in single-cell and/or small dormitory configuration. Other Regions Until such time as we are able to be assigned to the other regions throughout Iraq (Mosul. Hillah, Al Amarah and Basrah) the development and growth of the Iraq[ Correctional Service will prove to be extremely difficult Cntil either the commitment of assets to escort personnel to these locations, or a revision to the travel restrictions is authorized, the mission will remain focused on the Baghdad R~gion. S· ystemic Operational Issues The Transportation System is undergoing modifications and decen1rali1ation so that a "hub and spoke" approach can be taken to moving the prisoners to and from the courts in Baghdad on a daily basis. In order to facilitate this new approach, additional vehicles are critical, thus the fleet in Kuwait is invaluable. The lCS has been asked to procure some additional vehicles locally. to conti11ue the process. The court liaisons are assuming greater responsibility in the acceptance and delivery o f commitment documents and release/transfer orders. The Trainina Acadcmv program is being expanded from a two week to a six week program and will be taught by new instructors (civilian advisors) for the first iteratton, as they simultaneously train and facilitate the instruction of the new cufficulum to the Iraqi Instructors. Be advised that Human Rights fmemational Standards will be emphasized throughout the training. Although the construction program is ongoing (30-45 days behind schedule) the temporary academy is of sufficient size to accommodate a class of 200 cadets. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MLS.A.) and the Ministry ofJuslice (MOJ) pers1.)nnel are collaborating on recruitment, screening and hiring processes with the goal of starting the new academy on 29 MAY. Be advised that during the preceding nine ( 9) months, approximately 3.500 Iraqi Correctional Officers (lCOs) have completed the training program. Judicial Orders have been provided inconsistentiy by the .\!1ilitary. Although there are a number of logistical support issues at Abu Ghraib, some of which can be pursm~d/resolved at the prison i tselt~ the most contentious issue the JCS is dealing with has been the practice by the military to UNCLASSIFIED . .... ... . .. . ............. . ....... ···· · . .. ·c · ·(: ) A, ..

We arc also rebuilding prisons to humane standards. "While many prisons are not yet open, there is one kind of prison Iraq should never see again-the secret prison. "We know that secret prisons existed under Saddam. The very fact that they were secret makes it hard for us to be certain how many there were and where they were. We chink most of them were underground and in rural areas, though some were in the cities. "No matter how many secret prisons we find, whatever atrocities were committed there, you may be sure of one thing: "Imprisonment wfrhout cause, imprisonment in secret places, ended ·with Saddam and his Baathist thugs.

"I understand your concerns and want to tell you what we are doing. We have simplified the processing of detainees. AU cases are reviewed within 72 hours by an attorney. In many cases, the person detained is released immediately. Two months ago~ we established a special board to expedite the review of all detainees. Since then we have released over 2,500 detainees. We give highest priority to reviewing the records of female detainees. Right now fewer than 10 females arc detained. Of course we will not release any detainee guilry of serious crimes, as Saddam did when he flooded the streets with criminals in 2002. "Many of you have told us that you are frustrated by the lack of information about individual detainees. So we now publish a complete list in Arabic daily on the Coalition website.

"But you need not fear the future for your future is full of hope and dignity." Office of CPA G~nernl Counsel Moy l l, 2004 LEGAL POSITION OF THE ADMlNIST.R.A TOR IN RELATION TO THF. MANAGEMENT OF DETENTION ISSUES TN IRAQ FROM 16 MAY 2003- 30 Jll:'.'IE 200.i • The CPA was cswblishe:d to manage the responsibilities and authorities of the occupying ptiwer under the law o r arrncd conllict (Hague Regulations 1907 and the Fourth Geneva Conven\ion of l 949). The Fourth Convemion regulates the handling of civilian security internees and criminal detainees. The Third Geneva Convention of 1949 is the primary C()nvcntion in relation to the handling of prisoners of war (PW). Both eatcgories of persons have from time to time been in the custody or under the r<!sponsibility of Coalition Forces. • Under international law. an occupation exists if the military forces of a State are exercising eff~ctive control over foreign terri tory, having displaced the scvcrcign. Under the !aw there is no provision for "Coalition'' re~ponsibility, as this rests exclusively with i.he occupying States that are party to the Fourth and Third Geneva Conventions. • The 01.:cl1pying powers lawlllliy established the CPA as the mechanism by which the occupation would be administered. In pcrrorming its role, the CPA is authorized to excrdsc executive and legislative authority, as recognized in UN Security Council Resolutions 1483 and ! 511. • Article 29 is the key provision of the Fourlh Convention regarding responsibility fr>r d~t:iinees. It states: Thi! Party tu the cw!flict in whose hands protedeil pe1~ wms may he. i.'i re.~ponsihle .f(1r J/w tn!almenl acwrded them by i1 s agents, irrespecli1v of m1)1 i11dfridua! 1'!$fJOnsibili~J' which may h" incurred. • Article 12 is the key provision of the Third Convention regard ing responsibility for prisoners of war. It states: Prisoner.1 · of war are in the hands <?{ the enem.v Power. but not qf !he indidduals or milira~~· 11ni1s who have captured them. Irrespective cf ihe imlii'idual 1'fsponsibilitie.~ thar may exist. the Detaining l'ower is responsible .f()r tlte treatment given them. • The President made clear in his appointmcnl of the CPA Administrator as his Presidential Envoy (letter dated May 9, 2003) tlmt the Administrator's authority do~s not include programs and activities under the command or the cvmbarnm commander. The US and UK military fore.cs retained legal responsibility for PW and detainees in Coalition custody. Office of CPA General Counsel May 11 , 2004 • Thus. the JCRC has never regarded the CPA as the legally responsible authority with which the ICRC is required to internet concerning detainet' and PW matters. ICRC delegates. on instmction from Headquarters in Geneva, always in sist~d on dealing dirccLl y with the responsible State milirnry fo r c~ s exercising adual control over these persons. The US military authorities exercised coni.rol ovcr most detainees and PWs in Iraq. although UK forces in the south also concrolted som'' dcLainecs and PWs and interacted directly with the lCRC. • The CPA participated in meetings with the ICRC as an interested but not legal ly responsible party. The CPA role was confined to the following: a) facilitati ng contact with relevant identities: b) making representations to C.ITF 7; c) seeking ~udgetar y and personnel supporl for the rehabi Ii tat ion of the Iraqi j11stice administration; d) pursuing the physical improvement of the civil prison facilit i ~s ; e} promulgating: !cgislati\'e rneusures lo reform and promote appropriate slandarus in the Iraqi system, including the standards to be maintained by (' JTF 7 in coordinating its actions with Iraqi criminal process, even though the CPA could not prosecute or 1:ommand CJTF 7 per-;onnel. • 1\t no point did the CPA exercise command, physical, or financial concrol over military detention facilities such as Camps Buca. Ganci and Cropper. unit holding foc ilities or military intelligence interrogarion facilities in Iraq. • When the CPA assumed its responsibilities. the prison system in Iraq had effeccively been destroyed and the total crim inal population of 1 20,000 inmates had been released onto the streets. Most courts wert! not foncti<ming, and most court facilities were d~stroycd or damaged. The judiciary inc luded conupr individuals, human rights violators nnd tcch.nica!ly incompetent Ba'ath Party functionaries. The practices of a p()licc state that hnd been responsihlc for mass killings and systematic, State-sanctioned torture supponed by an extensive polking and intelligence apparaws had lo be suhstantiall)' remodeled. No post connict administration has had to face a greater pub I ic secu rity and reform cltaflenge. • The CPA ·s legislative response to this situation included revising the Criminal Codi."'. to excise draconian political crimes and liberalize restrictions on the freedom of the media and che right to demonstrate. The Criminal procedure Code was anwnded to prevent torlure, to ensurt! accused persons were advised of their righ1s. to provide defense counsel at every level of proceedings and to ensure representation to the indigent. The CPA removed prison management rcsponsihili1ie-s from repressive agencies and inappropriate organizations. consolidated that responsibility in the Ministr~ 1 of Justice. and enacted a comprehensive reform of penal administrntil)n laws and regularions that ') Office Gf CPA General Counsd May 11, 2004 closdy ft.lllow UN standards. A new Central Criminal Court was established as a court capable of dea ling with the most serious naiional crimes under reformed criminal procedures. The CPA also ensured the independence of the judiciary, fre~ing it from the politicization of the Ba'ath regime. • The CPA has promulgaced several laws directly related to prison management. These include CPA Order No. l 0, Management of Detention and Prison Facilities (5 June 2003); CPA Memorandum No. 2, Management of Detention and Prison facilities (8 June 2003); and CPA Memorandum No. 3, Criminal Procedures (18 June 2003). Section 7 of CPA Memorandum No. 3 prescribes specific standards applicable to the treatment of all persons who are detained by Coalition Forces as security internees. Subsection 7(l)(c) states that the '·operation. condition and standards of any internment facility established by Coalition Forces shall be in accordance with Section IV of the Fourth Geneva Convention." • These legal refonns hn\'e been coupled with substantial improvements of physical facilities, including court houses, prisons, triiining facilities for prison guards and poi ice, and the Judicial College. • This record de~rly demonstrates that the CP/\ has met its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention 3 RT CHT TO COlJNSEL FOR IRAQI CRIMINAi, DETAINEES • The Iraqi Criminal Procedure Code provides ut Paragraph 126 that an accused has the righl to remain ~ i lent and at Paragraph 179 that a refusal lo answer questions will not be considered as evidence againsL tht.1 defendant. • Criminal detainees must be advised or lheir right to remain silent and right to counsel upon induction into a detention facility and must be accorded acc~ss to counsel after 72 hours of detention. Only Iraqi police arc required to advise persons of their rights immediately upon arrest. There is no such requi rement if the apprehended person is not inducred into the detention center. There is no time limit for which an apprehended person mny be held before they must be inducted into a detention center_ Even after a person is inducted and s ubsequ~nr intelligence interrogations are conducted, there is no requirement for advice of rights in relnlion to such interrogations. The right is triggered only by interrogations designed to eli1:it cvidc11cc of criminal activity. • The Iraqi Criminal Procedure Code docs not prohibit the a dm i s~ i N1 of evidence obtained without rights ~1dvisem e n1 , and CPA modificacions of the Cod~ have nol changed thi:; result. It is still completely withi n the dis,·retion of che trial or investigative judges to admit such evidence. This includes the Central Criminal Court of Iraq (CCCI). • In the case of HVDs. after screening or the conduct of a tribunal under the provisions of Article 5 of the Third G(!neva Convention regarding Prisoners of War, they will be classified either as sec urity imernees or EPWs. ln either event, interrogations for intell igence purposes occur witho111 an>' advisement of the! right to remain silent. Subject w the protec.tion of classifi ed information, sources and methods, information derived from intelligence interrogations may form the basis for subsequent Juw enforcement investigations. The rights advisement is not and will not be pr<:>Vickd to EPW, HVDs or security internees, • We are aware on no instance in which the CPA 's amendments t.o the Criminal Procedure Code or CCCI Order have affected Coalition Force inr?lligence gathering activity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . : ....... . ...... . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -: :;.:;;~;~;i :: .. -: : : ;:: ::;_: ::: : : : .. •• .· Taik:ln . ~ P6il1t~: Tthma~ Right~ 1s~ues .•••. ~f 6~~i Th=:t:~~~~t~~~~~~~~i~~~;;:~;:i&Jl :~~:~ ••. ·· ... ·.·· ~ . the.
