▼ This paper discusses the publication and public consumption of digital photographs made by members of the United States military depicting torture and sexual abuse carried out upon detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad province during the first year of the occupation of Iraq. Departing from the analysis of the content of these images, it positions them within the visual cultural context that determines their meaning for the viewing public. By demonstrating the ways in which the state has used photography as a means by which to control the discourse surrounding its illegal military operations, it posits that a thorough critique of state violence must begin with such images. Understanding the viewing public as living in the "Spectacle," removed from lived reality, it suggests that the repurposing of these images is necessary to establish solidarity with those who experienced the incidents of torture and abuse firsthand. This argument offers that by first activating its own political dependence upon the effects of its military’s exploits and thereby acknowledging its complicity, the viewing public may free itself from the constraints of the Spectacle and use these images to deconstruct the official state framing of war. The theoretical discussion precedes its practical application in the form of a creative element that responds to the digital reproduction of the images. This consists of verbal and visual elements that intend to repurpose the Abu Ghraib images as a critique of their place in domestic media. The first part consists of a series of quotations from politicians, scholars, and artists, as well as from former Abu Ghraib detainees, that represent the public conversation surrounding the publication of the photographs. They are arranged in such a way as to present the dilemmas and questions presented by the images, gradually ceding the discussion to the imperative of one detainee to use the photographs to confirm his account of reality. The second part consists of six manually produced charcoal drawings of the photographs from Abu Ghraib, representing an attempt to break the images and their corresponding reality from the spectacular cycle of digital reproduction and reactivate their revolutionary potential. Advisors/Committee Members: Wilkins, Karin Gwinn, 1962- (advisor), Atwood, Blake (committee member).

▼ orture is a serious violation of human rights and it is strictly prohibited by numerous human rights instruments. The prohibition of torture enshrines one of the most fundamental values of a democratic society. Its prohibition in a national constitution commits the country, and specifically its law enforcement officers, to performing their duties with due regard to the essential dignity of every human being. The irony is that the law enforcement officials and the security agents who are entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order in the society sometimes breach the law which they have sworn to uphold. Most of the perpetrators of acts of torture are usually those in positions of state power. In addition, other persons who wield other forms of authority or influence also perpetrate torture. It is contended that both civil and criminal responsibilities of the perpetrators should be explored by bringing them to justice in order to serve as deterrence to others. Despite being stringently outlawed, torture continues to be practised in many countries in the world. The underlying assumption is that, although the prohibition of torture has become part of customary international law, the practice of torture remains widespread. Torturers and those who order or encourage torturers to ply their trade or acquiesce in their doing so, enjoy virtual impunity from prosecution within their own jurisdictions. In many cases, the majority of the torturers go unpunished because they are, most often than not, agents or officials of the state. Nowadays, there are various international human rights instruments prohibiting torture. Violations of the provisions of these instruments by states or individuals will attract necessary and appropriate sanction. The erring state or individual will be held accountable and if found liable, sanctions as contained in the instruments banning torture will be invoked accordingly. It must be stressed that condemnation of torture is universal and its prohibition forms not only part of customary international law, but has joined that narrow category of crimes so egregious as to demand universal criminal jurisdiction. There is no save haven for perpetrators because the various mechanisms and adjudicating bodies of state parties and the United Nations have competent jurisdictions to right the wrong. Furthermore, it must be stressed that there can be no justification for torture because CAT and other important international human rights instruments assume increasing importance tools which have realistic prospects for eliminating torture.

▼ The focus of this dissertation is a social and cultural theoretical analysis of the empirical data regarding the prison abuse that occurred at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by American forces. I provide the following: an examination of the photographs of abuse that were leaked to the press in the fall of 2003; an analysis of both Lynndie England’s and Sabrina Harman’s courts-martial (two of the “rotten apples”); a discussion of the body associated with punishment and torture, and also as marked in ways of identification; and an assessment of additional representations regarding prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. Throughout this analysis, I use gender as a lens to understand Abu Ghraib and the subsequent courts-martial. It is important to note that I gained access to and was intimately involved as a graduate researcher for Dr. Stjepan G. Mestrovic, an expert for the defense, and experienced the events of the trials themselves, first-hand and during closed counsel and open session. The empirical data provided is drawn primarily from first-hand qualitative research that involved participant-observation of two trials, interaction with soldiers and officers, and analysis of both documents pertaining to the trial as well as the photographs of abuse themselves, among other things. I incorporate cultural studies, feminist and sociological theory (modern and postmodern), and feminist philosophy so as to provide a theoretical analysis of the abuse at Abu Ghraib and the subsequent courts-martial focused on gender and sexuality. The result of this dissertation is a social and cultural theoretical analysis of the empirical data regarding the prison abuse that occurred at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by American forces, where women, gender, and sexuality are shown to be important criteria for examination. Specifically, the results of this project highlight areas that current analyses of the abuse at Abu Ghraib have left out: how women fit into American military politics, how gender functions as power within the military, how gender is socially constructed in the military in terms of heterosexuality, and how both gender and sexuality are used as weapons by the American military. This kind of examination is useful in future policy considerations for the military and for detainee treatment, where analyses of women, gender, sexuality, and power have been so far neglected in any serious way, and even by sociologists Phillip Zimbardo and the application of his Stanford Prison Study to the events of Abu Ghraib.

Degree: 2012, Addis Ababa University

▼ Freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is one of the few fundamental rights under international human rights law prohibited without any derogation. Violations against this right will inevitability destruct the core theme of human dignity. All dominant international and regional human rights law instruments such as UDHR, ICCPR, ACHPR, ACHR, ECHR and most importantly CAT, provide for the prohibition of violation against this freedom in strict terms. States are under international obligation to ensure the protection of this freedom in all circumstances. Ethiopia also, as a state party to most of these instruments, has a duty to realize the full enjoyment of this freedom under its territory. Oromia National Regional State is the largest region in Ethiopia that has the largest population size- population all deserving the enjoyment of this freedom. On the other hand, prisons are places alleged to be notorious sites where the right of individuals to freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment can be vastly violated. The present work, therefore, evaluated the protection of this freedom in some selected prisons of Oromia region in light of international human rights law. In doing so, the writer has analyzed various international, regional, and domestic legal instruments, and relevant cases dealing with the right. After defining the normative content of the right, the writer has assessed five prisons- Woliso, Shashemene, Ambo, Ziway, and Adama- and one center of training for prisoners- Dippo [Adama] Technical and Vocational Training Center. The data collection stage of the work has employed questioner, interview, and field observation as a method of gathering information from prisoners, prison warders, and prison authorities in which more than 200 respondents have been consulted. After conducting serious analysis, the writer has, eventually, reached to the following findings: Except for mild cases of Dippo center of training, the treatment of prisoners in all prisons covered under the study is poor; especially prisoners are suffering from impoverished conditions of accommodation, clothing and bedding, personal hygiene, medical care, sport and exercise, library and book, work, education and training, separation of categories, and lack of compliant procedures. There is grave violation against prisoners’ right to freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, except in Dippo center of training. There is no well organized training program on human rights and treatment of prisoners arranged for prison warders. There is no experience in which persons (prison warders or authorities) who violated this freedom had been prosecuted. The work has, finally, recommended plausible solutions to strengthen the protection of this freedom in these prisons. Advisors/Committee Members: Wondemagegn Tadesse (advisor).

▼ This doctoral dissertation is entitled, A Place Under Heaven: Amerindian Torture and Cultural Violence in Colonial New France, 1609-1730. It is an analysis of Amerindian customs of torture by fire, cannibalism, and other forms of cultural violence in New France during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Contemporary French writers and many modern historians have described Amerindian customs of torturing, burning, and eating of captives as either a means of military execution, part of an endless cycle of revenge and retribution, or simple blood lust. I argue that Amerindian torture had far more to do with the complex sequence of Amerindian mourning customs, religious beliefs, ideas of space and spatial limits, and a community expression of aggression, as well as a means of revenge. If we better understand the cultural context of Amerindian torture, we see more clearly the process of cultural accommodation in New France. To torture a captive offered communities an opportunity (men and women), young and old, to engage in a relationship with an adversary that tread what in the Amerindian cultural context was a thin or even non-existent line between the worlds of the living and the dead. Both Amerindian captives and captors understood this, and torture became an opportunity to push this barrier as a tortured captive came closer to death. When French colonists, soldiers, and missionaries became involved, torture complicated and altered missionary efforts, and had a direct effect on the political and military relationships between the French and these various Amerindian groups, both friend and foe. These new dynamics of alliances, rivalry, economics, and religion often caused Amerindians to change the circumstances under which they tortured captives and endured torture themselves, but colonization did not bring an end to this violence, only adaptation. The French also adapted when they found themselves captured and tortured. They altered their own religious, military, and political goals in North America at times to combat and at other times manipulate Amerindian cultural violence to their advantage.

▼ This dissertation examines how the competing tensions between human rights norms and national security threats shape nation-states' human rights practices. This research particularly focuses on the varying contexts of security threat under which governments may or may not comply with the norms of human rights. Drawing on the case of torture, one of the most contentious human rights issues in contemporary times, I apply mixed-methods approach by combining a quantitative cross-national analysis with in-depth case studies of states in times of security threat: South Korea before and after the Cold War and the United States in the post 9/11 era. In the international analysis, I analyze cross-national, time-series data of 159 sovereign states between 1981 and 2010 with a particular focus on three stages: times of peace, period of armed conflict, and post-conflict. The results indicate that torture is prevented by INGO membership and an independent judicial body in peacetime, but the factors contributing to the protection of human rights in peacetime are neutralized during armed conflicts. In the post-conflict period, law becomes a pivotal factor to roll back practices of wartime torture: both the independent judicial body and the state's ratification of international anti-torture treaties decrease the likelihood of using torture. In the case study of South Korea, I use a process-tracing method to suggest that neither the government's signing of anti-torture treaties nor the political transition to democracy directly result in the end of torture. Rather, I reveal how the practice of torture disappears only through the persistent efforts of newly democratized governments and legal and civil society actors to establish a rule of law. Finally, in the case study of the United States, I examine how the established rule of law can be expanded to protect non-citizens who are in extraterritorial areas. I pay particular focus on the professional activism of the Guantánamo habeas lawyers that eventually expanded the jurisdiction of the United States courts to trial these non-citizen suspects housed in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. This dissertation has strong implications for furthering our understanding of the promises and challenges of human rights in contemporary times.

▼ The War on Terror, initiated by the US Government under George W. Bush, reintroduced torture as an overt tool of the state. The Australian Government was heavily implicated in colluding and covering up the US torture program. Drawing on a model of outrage management, newspaper articles from 2002-2012 reveal extensive evidence that government officials, their agents, and the media, utilised methods that served to reduce outrage over the use of torture in the War on Terror. These tactics not only inhibited outrage, but promoted acceptance of torture as a legitimate security tool in the post 9/11 era. There is significant evidence that government officials, and a mostly compliant media, engaged in cover-up, either by omitting information, destroying evidence of torture, or failing to call into question statements made by US or Australian officials. There is extensive evidence of dehumanising or devaluing the survivors/victims and their experience including denigrating them as liars, casting them as unreliable sources, or, alternatively, attacking their personal character. Evidence extends to the reinterpretation of events and the way in which language was used to shift focus off torture to concerns about innocence or guilt. Rather than naming torture for what it is, terminology such as ‘abuse’ or ‘mistreatment’ was commonly used throughout the decade of analysis. The use of official channels to minimise outrage was apparent through the use of official spokespeople, or investigations that only gave the appearance of justice. There was also extensive evidence of the use of intimidation towards whistleblowers and torture survivors in order to prevent them from telling their stories. Those involved in torture were rewarded, commonly through promotion. These tactics were enabled by networks of individuals, organisations and institutions that carry out ideological, economic, practical or political functions to support the facilitation and cover-up of state-inflicted torture. These networks include shallow governments that deploy misleading political rhetoric related to torture and terrorism, the increased role of militarism and covert operations, and the expansion of the surveillance state. Therefore, challenging torture in the War on Terror requires broader structural and societal change to eliminate the pillars of support for torture. Removing the structural support for torture may require the dismantling of the entire network through a process of nonviolent resistance.

▼ This thesis will assess the United Kingdom’s implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and other Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment. It will first focus on a contextual analysis of the problem of torture, examining the circumstances in which it has historically been used, philosophical and theoretical perspectives on the practice and the political aspects of torture, including its effect on international relations. This will illustrate the circumstances in which torture is used, the motivation behind it and the way in which it affects its victims. The argument will then be made that, in view of the uniquely grave nature of the practice of torture, it is insufficient for States to merely criminalise it and punish the offenders. They must actively seek to eradicate it from society and ultimately prevent it from occurring. It is against this aim that the thesis will examine the compliance of the United Kingdom with its obligations under the Convention. This examination will look first at the international regime for the prevention of torture, focusing on the work of the United Nations Committee Against Torture. The engagement of the United Kingdom with this body will be explored in detail and the argument made that more needs to be done in order to ensure that the Committee’s recommendations are put into effect and that treatment contrary to the Convention is prevented from taking place. The final part of the thesis will assess the United Kingdom’s State practice with a focus on key institutions of the State including the courts and the legislature. This part of the thesis will seek to explore the extent to which the practices of these institutions is consistent with an overall aim of preventing torture and the extent to which they show awareness of the Convention and its requirements of the Convention in the discharge of their functions. The conclusion will be drawn that, while the Human Rights Act has gone some way towards improving compliance, more needs to be done to insure a complete implementation by the United Kingdom of its obligations under the Convention and full prevention of torture. The State must actively engage with the Committee and the organs of the State must consider the Convention Against Torture in the discharge of all of their functions to ensure that these aims are achieved.

▼ Based on an examination of the rationality and moral legitimacy of capital punishment in China, this research depicts the evolution of the Chinese death penalty law and policy from 1979 onwards; investigates the institutional and procedural shortcomings that lead to pre-trial torture, wrongful convictions, and executions of innocent or vulnerable people; and explores the prospects for restricting the application of the death penalty in retentionist China by focusing on feasible legal and policy changes to assure fair trials in capital cases. The key research questions to be addressed are: why capital punishment persists in China in an age of abolition; and if the abolition cannot be achieved in the foreseeable future, what reforms should be introduced to prevent miscarriage of justice? This research finds that the Confucian theory of punishment constitutes a compelling unified theoretical framework and establishes solid philosophical and ethical foundations for the introduction and persistence of capital punishment in China. Responding to the concerns expressed by and pressure from the international human rights community together with domestic calls for more caution in meting out capital punishment, China has launched a series of reforms in the death penalty regime since the middle of 2000’s which has resulted in a significant reduction in the use of the death penalty. However, it is also observed that: capital offenders with mental illness are at a substantial disadvantage in receiving psychiatric assessment and thus are at a high risk of being sentenced to death; police ill-treatment and torture are rampant due to the deeply-rooted presumption of guilt and the confession-oriented approaches predominantly employed in police investigation practices; and the procedural loophole that suspended death sentence, although being a form of capital punishment, is not subject to review and final approval by the highest judicial authority has in effect condoned arbitrary sentencing in capital cases and consequently exacerbated the miscarriages of justice. It is concluded that the retention of capital punishment in China may be more impervious to abolitionists’ claims than other jurisdictions; hence, to improve its state competence in securing criminal justice, China should promote institutional and procedural changes in line with international human rights standards for protecting the rights of offenders facing the death penalty.

▼ Concerns continue to be raised worldwide about the psychological impact of torture and other types of systemic abuse. Few controlled studies have investigated psychological distress resulting from torture and other systemic abuse or from the asylum seeking processes itself. No study has taken into account the impact of systemic abuse on the subjective ‘self view’. By contrast, this thesis compares the degree of psychological distress, and ‘self views’ between three groups: survivors of torture, survivors of other types of systemic abuse, and a control group who experienced neither. It was expected that torture survivors would present with higher levels of psychiatric symptoms and greater negative self views compared to the other two groups. Similarly, it was predicted that survivors of other types of systemic abuse would present with higher levels of psychiatric symptoms and greater negative ‘self views’ compared to the control group. A further question concerns residential status, that is, whether asylum seekers in detention have higher levels of distress and changes in ‘self-view’ compared to asylum seekers living in the community and those with permanent residency who never experienced the asylum seeking process. It was expected that asylum seekers in detention would present more negatively compared to asylum seekers in the community. It was also expected that asylum seekers in the community would present with greater psychiatric symptoms and negative ‘self views’ than permanent residents. These hypotheses were tested in a sample of 259 people using a comprehensive methodology that included a semi-structured interview incorporating the structured interview for PTSD, the Global Assessment of Functioning and the ICD-10 for personality change. The interviews included three self report psychiatric scales: the SCL- 90-R, The Impact of Event Scale, and The Repertory Grid (measuring ‘self views’). Although torture survivors presented with increased psychiatric symptoms, there was no significant difference between torture survivors and survivors of other types of systemic abuse as measured by the IES and PTSD. Survivors of other systemic abuse presented with greater psychiatric symptoms than the control group on PTSD and IES measures, but not for the SCL-90-R. Torture survivors’ ‘self views’ were more negative than the other two groups but not for present and future views of self. There was no difference between torture survivors and survivors of other systemic abuse on the GAF. There were significant differences between these groups on personality change. The hypothesis that asylum seekers in detention will present with greater psychological distress and more negative ‘self views’ was not clearly confirmed. In fact, asylum seekers living in the community presented with greater psychological distress than both other categories as measured by the SCL-90. Both asylum seeker categories…

The purposes of this research are to (1) assess the exclusionary rule in the United Kingdom and United States; (2) explore the theoretical constitutional foundation of the rule; and (3) establish the Chinese exclusionary rule. Currently, there is no exclusionary rule explicitly in the Chinese Code of Criminal Procedure. If the wrongful conviction of the innocent is a pressing issue in China today, police torture is the flashpoint. Police torture in China is the prevalent evil not the isolated anecdote. This thesis combines diagnosis and prescription – the problem of police torture in China and the solution of the exclusionary rule. The ultimate goal of the research is to find a suitable exclusionary rule for China to solve the serious problem of police torture and wrongdoing. At the level of theory, my exclusionary rule framework is grounded in the separation of powers. Previous research about the separation of powers doctrine has focused almost entirely on constitutional law and political theory. They completely ignored the special role that the doctrine plays in the criminal justice system, a role consisting of the exercise of a reviewing function to ensure executive compliance with the criminal law. Separation of powers is a core component of the constitution’s system of checks and balances, a system in which each branch of the government is endowed with a constitutional control over the others. Without any judicial supervision or due process, the potential for arbitrary enforcement is high. The alternatives to the exclusionary rule are mainly illusory and of no practical avail. Past history also demonstrates that the very idea of protecting the defendant’s right is completely empty unless it is linked to an efficient mechanism. China grants the police too much power and has too little judicial supervision over police investigations. It creates imbalance in the existing Chinese criminal justice system. It is such an imbalance and the lack of separation of powers in the criminal justice system that poses a significant and growing threat for the protection of defendants’ rights.

▼ Prisoners are among the most vulnerable categories of citizens in every country, due to the large amount of control the state has over them. Enforcing Human Rights Law is a challenge in all areas that it covers. However, ensuring human rights for those behind bars sometimes seems nearly impossible because of the isolation, the lack of interest of the outside world and mostly because of the sometimes conflicting goals that Correctional Law and Human Rights Law seem to have. This is why this thesis focuses on the protection of convicts against torture and ill-treatment. The structure is that of a comparison between the regional protection granted to these people by the European Court of Human Rights and the local avenues granted in Canada, a country that does not benefit from a regional protection for its citizens. The purpose is to analyze how convicts can best fight abuses in a world where their inherent rights are increasingly ignored in the name of security. The parallel between a regional system and a national one will be developed by discussing and comparing the shared human rights framework provided by international instruments, the case law and the evolving principles for convicts’ protection in Europe and Canada, the abuses that take place in both regions under consideration and, finally, how these abuses are addressed and remediated by the authorities. I conclude by pointing out the importance of developing a strong national correctional system that obeys Human Rights Law and that is permanently under the national courts’ jurisdiction. Nevertheless, based on this analysis, I believe it is crucial that there also be an external monitoring and juridical mechanism that can enforce human rights when the national authorities deliberately or accidentally ignore them. It is hazardous to leave the protection of human rights, especially of those in an enclosed environment, to the state which sometimes has conflicting interests and which in most cases is the one that trespasses them.

▼ The thesis asserts the need for a re-evaluation regarding the stylistic influence, historical development and global proliferation of the genre of Torture Porn. It applies Rick Altman’s semantic/syntactic/pragmatic model of assessing film genres to examine torture porn. It considers the role and impact that mainstream industry professionals such as critics assert in the creation and reception of the Torture Porn genre. The thesis contextualises a historical framework for the genre’s inception within the transnational history of cinema. It argues that Torture Porn’s visual aesthetic has organically flourished and evolved from this transnational history of cinema. Applying visual analysis, the thesis explores the fetish image’s functionality to convey sexual meaning within edited sequences thematically depicting violent torture. The thesis asserts that the authentic classification of torture porn depends on the visual aesthetic of a distended fetishistic image. It argues that torture porn films must encapsulate the illustration of this distinctive visual aesthetic within sequences that thematically contain a form of sadistic torture or significantly relate to the infliction of impending torture. Building on previously established feminist theory canonised by Carol Clover, the thesis offers a re-examination of Clover’s work to argue that torture porn offers the spectator an innovative, sadistic type of ‘final girl’, a character who both evolves, and similarly differs from, its predecessors within the American Slasher, Horror, and European Rape Revenge film genres. The thesis demonstrates a clear connection between the spectator’s desire to view torture porn spectacles, and an international increase in box office sales. It provides a case study of the independent Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation to expose their active role in establishing torture porn as a mainstream multiplex genre. The Torture porn genre transforms the company within the entertainment industry.

Pour les sociétés démocratiques, le terrorisme représente une menace exceptionnelle. Exceptionnelle, d’abord, parce qu’un Etat n’est pas face à une menace traditionnelle telle qu’une déclaration de guerre adressée par un autre Etat. Exceptionnelle ensuite parce parfois – souvent dans le cadre du terrorisme basque –, elle implique ses propres citoyens. Exceptionnelle, enfin, parce que pour aussi extraordinaire que soit cette menace, les éléments précédents imposent à la Démocratie de se protéger avec les armes mises en place dans des circonstances ordinaires, par des procédures ordinaires, contre des menaces ordinaires. Il s’agit ici de la contradiction fondamentale qui apparaît à l’étude des appareils mis en place par des Etats démocratiques afin de se protéger contre le terrorisme.Dans cette perspective, l’étude du cas basque présente des singularités appelant à s’interroger sur les effets du terrorisme sur la construction de la démocratie. La lutte contre le terrorisme basque est en effet née dans le cadre d’un Etat dictatorial qui n’a pas hésité à user de tous les moyens contre cet ennemi. Elle s’est poursuivie alors que l’Etat Espagnol opérait une transition vers la Démocratie, et a perduré au-delà, alors que nombre d’indicateurs tendent à valider le caractère démocratique de son nouveau régime. La question qui se pose alors est de savoir dans quelle mesure la permanence d’une lutte contre un ennemi sur lequel les changements de régime n’ont eu que peu de prise a influencé la perception de cet opposant et les moyens internes et de coopération interétatique mis en œuvre pour lui faire face.

For democratic societies, terrorism represents an exceptional threat. Exceptional, firstly, because the State does not face a traditional threat such as a war declaration sent by another State. Exceptional, secondly, because sometimes – often regarding Basque terrorism – it involves its own citizens. Exceptional, eventually, because although it is an extraordinary threat, the previous elements call Democracy to protect itself with the weapons set up under ordinary circumstances, through ordinary processes, against ordinary threats. It is a genuine contradiction in the study of the apparatus set up by Democracy in order to get protected from terrorism.In this perspective, the study of the Basque case presents specificities that lead to question terrorism’s effects on the construction of Democracy. The fight against Basque terrorism was born in the framework of a dictatorial regime, which did not hesitate to use any means against this enemy. It continued, while the Spanish State was operating a transition towards democracy, and kept on going while many indicators appeared to confirm the democratic nature of the new regime. A question arises: to which extent the permanency of a fight against an enemy insensitive to the regime changes influenced the perception of this opponent, but also the internal means and those developed through international cooperation to face it.

The goal of this thesis was to get a deeper understanding of current debate about torture. Recently there has been a political and academic trend suggesting a possible reintroduction of torture in cases of terrorism. That position is so radical it prompted me to research it further. The first half of this thesis was to look at different academic texts on this subject, both recent and older. I started off with the writings of the legal professor Alan Dershowitz. His ideas about a torture warrant are maybe the most radical in today’s torture debate. Then I looked at two older philosophical texts about torture, written by Michael Walzer and Henry Shue. What I found was that in most discussions about torture, both academic and political, the noted ticking bomb hypothesis seems to dominate. I criticized both the logics of that hypothesis and its excessive use in today’s debate. Then I examined the philosopher Elaine Scarry and her phenomenological analysis of pain which, in my opinion, provides a different and powerful point of view in the debate. For a different perspective I then looked at the history of torture, which I believe to be a useful tool in understanding today’s debate. Without a historic perspective, a topic like torture is almost unfathomable. It was shocking to find that in fact the discourse about torture today has a lot in common with the sophisticated torture jurisprudence of earlier times. I used Foucault and his book On Crimes and Punishment to get a clearer, albeit subjective, picture of the bizarre social and psychological dynamics of torture. Finally I used history to revisit Dershowitz’s argument for a torture warrant. The last chapter was about the semantics of torture. It struck me as interesting how much semantic confusion and disagreement there seems to be about the word itself. Some of this confusion can be traced back to history, which I examined. Furthermore I noticed that because of the sentimental impact the word has today, it often is subjected to political and ideological manipulations. It is therefore very important to understand the roots and structures of the torture practice. In my conclusions I realized that torture is a much more complex phenomenon than I initially thought. And it is precisely because of that complexity and the unthinkable outcomes that I believe that not under any circumstances should it be reintroduced.
