A United Nations panel reported Friday that the United States is not being fully compliant with an international anti-torture treaty. Among their top concerns were military interrogations, police brutality and prisons.

The report, filed by the U.N. Committee Against Torture, is the first review of this kind on the U.S. since 2006. It said that there was worry about allegations of police brutality and excessive use of force among law enforcement officials, particularly calling on the treatment of blacks and Latinos by the Chicago Police Department. The committee suggested restricting the use of taser weapons by police to only life-threatening situations.

Despite this recommendation, the committee did not have any comments regarding a grand jury's decision not to indict the white police officer involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.

In the report, it also criticizes records of U.S. military interrogations, maximum security prisons, undocumented immigrants and solitary confinement. It said that there should be more federal regulations defining and outlawing torture, including detainees kept at Guantanamo Bay and in Yemen. Specifically with regard to interrogation tactics, the committee called for the abolishment of sensory or sleep deprivation "aimed at prolonging the sense of capture."

"There are numerous areas in which certain things should be changed for the United States to comply fully with the convention," Alessio Bruni, one of the chief investigators on the panel, of Italy said Friday during a news conference in Geneva. The convention he references was the 1987 U.N. Convention Against Torture, which the U.S. ratified in 1994.

The U.N. committee is made of 10 independent experts that review the records of all 156 U.N. member countries that agreed to ratify the treaty against torture as well as all "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."
