Afghan panel claims to find secret prisons' so now what does Obama do? Keep looking forward??

The UN Covention Against Torture states:

Article 2

1. Each State Party shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent acts of torture in any territory under its jurisdiction.
2. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat or war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.
3. An order from a superior officer or a public authority may not be invoked as a justification of torture.

Article 4

1. Each State Party shall ensure that all acts of torture are offences under its criminal law. The same shall apply to an attempt to commit torture and to an act by any person which constitutes complicity or participation in torture.
2. Each State Party shall make these offences punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account their grave nature.

It means that Obama has a mandatory duty as did Bush before him and every president
to investigate and prosecute crimes of torture. If he doesn't, then he is shielding the torturer,
and he, Obama can be prosecuted
