What is legal and what is not about Guantánamo

Strauss brings international law to life with this technical yet accessible exploration of the U.S. naval station in southern Cuba. For over a century, Guantánamo Bay has raised fascinating questions about rights of sovereignty as amended by state-to-state leases of territory. It is a rare case in which one country forcibly maintains a military installation within a hostile state, and some scholars hold that the 1959 Cuban Revolution invalidated the earlier treaties that provided for the arrangement. (Paradoxically, the hard-line Helms-Burton Act of 1996 requires the United States to negotiate the return of the territory upon Cuba's transition to democracy.)
