Tung Yin's Recent Papers (SSRN)

The new U.S. Army Field Manual is going to omit reference to Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention, which prohibits degrading and humiliating treatment. As law prof Oona Hathaway, who's quoted in the story notes, this is going to reinforce the idea that we are doing really bad things to people at Guantanamo Bay (and elsewhere).
