United States Supreme Court

In a challenge brought by a Guantanamo detainee, a judgment of a court of appeals reversing an earlier grant of habeas relief is reversed where the military commission convened to try petitioner lacks the power to proceed because its structure and procedures violate both the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and the Geneva Conventions.
