Each letter reflects the ABA's independent research and analysis of the facts and human rights law applicable to each case, and copies are sent to the U.S. Secretary of State and other relevant officials. Drafts are reviewed by the Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities, the Section of International Law, and the Standing Committee on Law and National Security, among other entities.
