The ICRC welcomes the various detention-related decisions taken by the United States and formalized in several Executive Orders issued by President Obama on 22 January 2009. It particularly welcomes the decision to provide the ICRC with notification of all detainees held by the United States in any armed conflict and timely access to them. The ICRC looks forward to the results of the reviews ordered by President Obama on several issues related to Guantanamo and US detention policy.
