Amnesty International describes the trials by military commissions as second-class, to which the United States government would not subject its own citizens.

"That was made clear at the time that the law was passed," says Amnesty International spokesman Rob Freer. "It has lower standards of justice than a normal criminal trial that a U.S. national would receive, it is discriminatory and in so doing it violates international human rights law, which says there should be no discrimination of fundamental human rights," he said.
