    A note on psychoanalysis and the crime of torture
    CLEMENS, JUSTIN ; Grigg, Russell ( 2006)
    Let's be clear. Torture is an international crime under all circumstances. Countries in which torture is sanctioned are considered states that violate human rights - to the extent that they may well be vernacularly denominated 'criminal states.' Every country has a legal and moral obligation to prevent the use of torture. This includes prosecuting those who have engaged in torture or otherwise supported its practice, discouraging other states from the use of torture, and, if the acts have been committed outside their jurisdiction, to extradite the alleged perpetrator to a state that has such jurisdiction.
