International Law Pertaining to Torture and Interrogation
International Law Pertaining to Torture and Interrogation
Expanding the discussion to the international sphere is critical to our overall focus: the development of a lawful coercive interrogation regime predicated on the rule of law. In the effort to do so, it is important to examine and analyze existing international standards for interrogation and torture alike. Furthermore, it is important to ask whether international standards are relevant and appropriate for the American experience. Such a discussion requires an analysis of international law principles and comparative case law. Although Justice Scalia has posited the inapplicability of international law to American jurisprudence, Justice Kennedy's approach represents a preferred approach in an increasingly internationalized world. In that spirit, a discussion intended to recommend concrete coercive interrogation measures must include a discussion of torture in the context of international law.
