<<<The torture ruckus the hard left wants to talk about ad naseum is a bunch of silly noise>>> Torture is against the law. No one is above the law. 1. Torture is prohibited under 18 U.S.C. § 2340. 2. Prohibition under International Law Torture in all forms is banned by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which the United States participated in drafting. The United States is a party to the following conventions (international treaties) which prohibit torture: the American Convention on Human Rights (signed 1977) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (signed 1977; ratified 1992). It has neither signed nor ratified the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture.[2] 3. UN Convention Against Torture The United States is a party to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which originated in the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1984, and signed by the President Ronald Reagan on April 18, 1988.
