Definición

  • Torture is any one of intense interrogation methods used to elicit involuntary information disclosure from another person. These methods have been historically sanctioned by states as justified by the end goals of national security and public safety, though they have also increasingly been challenged on legal, moral, and ethical grounds during the past half century.
