What is torture?
Torture as defined in international law
• Torture has a very specific meaning in human
  rights law, which most of the world’s
  governments have agreed.
• Torture is defined as ‘any act by which serve
  pain and suffering, whether physical or
  mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person
  by…..a public official’ (Article 1, UN Convention Against
  Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment
  1984)
Methods of torture
Various techniques of torture have been used
around the world by government agents to:
  • try and obtain information or confessions;
  • punish someone for something that they have, or
    somebody else, is thought to have done;
  • to intimidate someone;
  • to persecute someone for who they are or what they
    think.
TASK: In pairs you must decide which of the
techniques can be defined as torture – that is,
would it cause severe physical or mental suffering?
Discussion:
Why is there disagreement over which actions
might cause severe physical or mental suffering?
CASE STUDY: Torture and the ‘War on Terror’
TASK: Watch the video and read the hand-out detailing
the use of waterboarding as means of torture in to get
information from detainees of the ‘war on terror’
Can torture ever be justified?

In the current ‘War on Terror’, should
governments be allowed to use interrogation
methods against terrorist suspects that might
be considered torture?

Torture ppt

  • 2. Torture as defined in international law • Torture has a very specific meaning in human rights law, which most of the world’s governments have agreed. • Torture is defined as ‘any act by which serve pain and suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person by…..a public official’ (Article 1, UN Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment 1984)
  • 3. Methods of torture Various techniques of torture have been used around the world by government agents to: • try and obtain information or confessions; • punish someone for something that they have, or somebody else, is thought to have done; • to intimidate someone; • to persecute someone for who they are or what they think. TASK: In pairs you must decide which of the techniques can be defined as torture – that is, would it cause severe physical or mental suffering?
  • 4. Discussion: Why is there disagreement over which actions might cause severe physical or mental suffering?
  • 5. CASE STUDY: Torture and the ‘War on Terror’ TASK: Watch the video and read the hand-out detailing the use of waterboarding as means of torture in to get information from detainees of the ‘war on terror’
  • 6. Can torture ever be justified? In the current ‘War on Terror’, should governments be allowed to use interrogation methods against terrorist suspects that might be considered torture?
