Since the inmates have beendetained indefinitely without trialand several inmates were severelytortured, this camp is considered as a major breach ofhuman rightsby great parts of the world.The camp was established by the PresidentGeorge W. Bush's administrationin 2002 during his War on Terror. His successor, PresidentBarack Obama, promised that he would close it, but met strong bipartisan opposition, with Congress passing laws to prohibit detainees from Guantanamo being imprisoned in the United States. During his term, his administration succeeded in reducing the number of inmates from about 245to 41; most former detainees were freed and transferred to other countries.
