Based on your profile, my understanding is that you are a physician. So I can understand that you feel compassion for people who suffer physical pain. Nevertheless, I doubt very much that you'd advise prescribing a useless medication for an ailment, e.g, antibiotics for a virus, or antidepressants for syphilus, or the talking cure for schizophrenia. No matter how compassionate you might feel about the person who was ill, you'd understand that the wrong remedy won't cure the ailment. So please, take it from a lawyer. It won't do any good to prescribe the wrong remedy for a legal ailment. If you don't think torture is a good thing, don't pretend to yourself or the torture victim that a particular treaty will stop it when it won't. All you do is waste time.
