"Torture
undermines the moral and legal principles on which society is
based. Moral authority and the ability to pressure allies are lost
when world leaders resort to torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading
practices. As a means of interrogation, torture often results in
false statements, and instills resentment and anger in the
victims, their families, friends, and community, and generates
embittered opponents. This hostility can translate into
devastating consequences..."
Signatories of the
UN Convention Against Torture
agree not to intentionally inflict severe pain or suffering on
anyone, to obtain information or a confession, to punish them, or
to coerce them or a third person.
