摘要：
On June 10, 2019, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in a case in which the D.C. Circuit held that the United States could continue to detain an individual at Guantanamo Bay until the cessation of the hostilities that justified his initial detention, notwithstanding the extraordinary length of the hostilities to date. The case, Al-Alwi v. Trump, arises from petitioner Moath Hamza Ahmed Al-Alwi's petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the legality of his continued detention at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court's denial of certiorari was accompanied by a statement by Justice Breyer observing that it is past time to confront the difficult question of how long a detention grounded in the U.S. response to the September 11 attacks can be justified.
