Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - Loma Sur, Caimanera, South Hill
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - Loma Sur, Caimanera, South Hill. The United States assumed territorial control over Guantanamo Bay under the 1903 Cuban-American Treaty, which granted the United States a perpetual lease of the area. The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base was used to house Cuban and Haitian refugees from the 1970s onwards and following the commencement of the war in Afghanistan in October 2001, 775 detainees have been brought to Guantanamo from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, 420 being released without charge. The legal status and physical condition of detainees at Guantanamo has been heavily criticised by human rights bodies worldwide

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - Loma Sur, Caimanera, South Hill: A Controversial Military Outpost with a Complex History This evocative image captures the rugged beauty of Loma Sur, or South Hill, in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The United States assumed territorial control over this bay in 1903 through the Cuban-American Treaty, granting a perpetual lease for the establishment of a naval base. Over the decades, Guantanamo Bay has served various purposes, from housing Cuban and Haitian refugees in the 1970s to becoming a detention center following the commencement of the war in Afghanistan in 2001. The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, as seen from Loma Sur, has been a subject of intense international scrutiny. Since 2001, 775 detainees have been brought to Guantanamo from Afghanistan and Iraq, with 420 of them released without charge. The legal status and physical condition of these detainees have been heavily criticized by human rights bodies worldwide, sparking debates about the morality and legality of detention practices. Despite its controversial history, Loma Sur continues to offer a breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea and the natural beauty of Guantanamo Bay. The hill serves as a reminder of the complex geopolitical relationships that have shaped the region, and the ongoing debates surrounding the role of military installations in shaping international relations.
