The four experts said the United States had not responded to their numerous requests to check on the conditions of terror suspects at the US Naval base in Cuba.
They said that their request for a visit was "based on information, from reliable sources, of serious allegations of torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees, arbitrary detention, violations of their right to health and their due process rights."
The experts, who report to UN bodies on different human rights issues, said they had yet to hear back from Washington on their latest request - made in mid-April - to visit the detention facility.
A US spokeswoman said the request was still being reviewed in Washington.
