The UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has called for the closure of the US prison at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay.
In a press conference after his speech on the fifth anniversary of the opening of the US detention camp, Ban said that like his predecessor Kofi Annan, he believes that the prison should be closed.
The secretary general is scheduled to meet with the US President George Bush in Washington next week to discuss closure of the Guantanamo detention center.
The United Nations and chiefly experts from the Human Rights Council have insisted on the need to close the Guantanamo prison, where nearly 400 people suspected of being terrorists are still detained without trial.
