Why Not Torture Terrorists?
Moral, Practical and Legal Aspects of the "Ticking Bomb" Justification for Torture
Yuval Ginbar
Oxford Monographs in International Law
- Presents an informed, in-depth analysis of interrogational torture as a moral, practical, and legal issue and a coherent, passionate defense of the absolute prohibition
- Provides a thoroughly-researched examination of current State practice in terrorist interrogation, including the US and Israeli models of interrogational torture
- Analyses the international legal framework prohibiting torture and the attempts to circumvent the prohibition through the 'defense of necessity' test and the denial that current practices amount to torture
