Human rights groups have vowed to track George W Bush round the world after their success in forcing him to cancel a trip to Switzerland amid concerns over protests and a threatened arrest warrant.
Katherine Gallagher, a lawyer with the New York-based Centre for Constitutional Rights, said: "The reach of the convention against torture is wide. This case is prepared and will be waiting for him wherever he travels next.
"Torturers, even if they are former presidents of the United States, must be held to account and prosecuted."
Although Bush has travelled freely round the world since leaving the White House in January 2009, human rights groups believe he is vulnerable to prosecution after admitting in his autobiography last November that he authorised waterboarding and other interrogation techniques.
"Waterboarding is torture, and Bush has admitted, without any sign of remorse, that he approved its use," said Gallagher, who is also vice-president of the International Federation for Human Rights.

Hahahaha...he should fly there tomorrow.
Begging terrorists for mercy is the only legal interrogation method.
Exactly what power do “Human Rights Gropes” have? None, I’m guessing.
He’s vulnerable because we have a president who has every intent of punishing America and former presidents are symbolic of our nation.
I bet the secret service detail may have something to say and do to the people that try to lay hands on our former president.
If this is how the international left responds to a moderate republican president, what will they do when we put a real conservative in the White House?
F’ those commie pukes. Human rights’ my arse...that’s just another term for “commie”.
Wonder what they would say about Nagging?? That’s usually effective.......What’s their position on Naggers?? LOL
I want to see these pukes actually try to lay their hands on a former US President so I can watch the Secret Service turn them into bloody rags on the street.
I think it would be interesting to see the war that would begin if these scum ever arrested President Bush...and I am not talking about from the Obama administration.
These asses should be ashamed. If only a planeload of terrorists would ram themselves into this organization’s headquarters. They have been without attack since 2001. They are a pile of goat smegma.
I somehow don’t picture George W. Bush sitting around pining to go to Switzerland and being disappointed if he can’t.
“An Afghan physiotherapist will be executed within three days for converting to Christianity.
Said Musa, 45, has been held for eight months in a Kabul prison were he claims he has been tortured and sexually abused by inmates and guards.
Mr Musa, who lost his left leg in a landmine explosion in the 1990s, has worked for the Red Cross for 15 years and helps to treat fellow amputees....
He claims he was visited by a judge who told him he would be hanged within days unless he converted back to Islam.
But he remains defiant and said he would be willing to die for his faith....
Defence lawyers have refused to represent him, while others have dropped the case after receiving death threats....
When you take water from people like this you encourage them.
Call their bluff or they will be tracking him everywhere he goes.
Tell them to shove it. These SOB’s let the little monkey from Iran go anywhere he likes without a whimper, the only reason they threaten Bush is because they know they can get away with it.
Katherine Gallagher is another Bush oversight, one of his many.
