Torture or any other treatment that is cruel, inhuman or degrading is repugnant, immoral and illegal, and is always wrong.

All governments should publicly denounce such abuse in the strongest possible terms, and never allow it to happen at home or abroad.

All governments should use national and international law to prosecute anyone who has been directly or indirectly responsible for torture or other forms of ill-treatment.

No one should be held in secret or incommunicado. Such conditions encourage and facilitate torture and ill-treatment.

No one should be sent to a country where they may be tortured or subjected to any other form of treatment that is cruel, inhuman and degrading.

My security will not be best protected by subjecting prisoners to torture and ill-treatment but by respecting everyone's human rights.

Torture does not stop terror. Torture is terror.

Torture or other ill treatment not only harms the victim, it brutalizes the perpetrator and the societies that allow it to happen. It is cruel, inhuman and degrades us all
