“In a report filed by the Bush Administration [and made public on May 14, 2008] in accordance with its obligations under the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, the U.S. admitted to having detained 2,500 juveniles between 2002 and 2008 in its ‘war on terror.’ The vast majority of these detentions were in Iraq, where in 2007 the U.S. built a special juvenile detention center to house the large youth population.”
