On 23 August 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from United Nations Convention against Torture to United Nations Convention Against Torture. The result of the discussion was moved. |
It is about the United Nations Convention against Torture. There is only one supranational organization with authority and jurisdiction for the United Nations Convention against Torture and that is the United Nations Security Council. International law for torture other than the UNSC is thus totally irrelevant to this article and I will be editing these out discussions of international law that are irrelevant for this article.
The United Nations Charter is the only primary International law for the adjudication of the United Nations Convention against Torture. As a charter, it is a constituent treaty, and all members are bound by its articles. Furthermore, Article 103 of the Charter states that obligations to the United Nations prevail over all other treaty obligations.[1][2] Raggz (talk) 18:36, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

was invoked but never defined (see the help page).I edited "Pursuant to this interpretation, only sanctions that are authorized by international law will fall within this exclusion. "
Many nations are not subject to any supernational jurisdiction other than the UNSC. Obviously findings by the ECHR and/or the ICC are without jurisdiction. The word "only" was deleted because it implies that one or both have global universal jurisdiction when they only do for their members. Raggz (talk) 18:05, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
It would be good to see a list of the nations who have ratified and/or signed the act - does anyone have one? Andrewferrier 21:48, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)
I located a page with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights site explicitly listing the countries signing/ratifying with dates and added it to the external links. I tweaked the description for the external link to the official site for the convention to remove the statement that it includes a list of signatories because the link on the UN site for that doesn't work (you can't get the list using it). - Benjamin Franz (Sun Mar 6 14:18:22 UTC 2005)
Based on the [OHCHR's ratification list] - Idiot Savant (Mon Dec 19 17:00 NZDT 2005)
I have deleted the first paragraph of that section. The issue of what constitutes torture is not a settled one, and it is plainly incorrect to state that the ECHR's holding in the Ireland v. United Kingdom judgment, rendered more than thirty years ago, is today's relevant law on torture in Europe. There has been much development by the ECHR in subsequent cases regarding what constitutes and what does not constitute torture.
I do not have time to write this section correctly, but for the time being this article should not tell lies to the readers. If anyone else wishes to get into this, I suggest that that the writer be familiar, at the very least, with the following basic materials:
- The following ECHR cases: Selmouni v. France, Tomasi v. France, Ribitsch v. Austria, Aksoy v. Turkey, Aydin v. Turkey, among others. - The following HRC cases: Estrella v. Uruguay, López Burgos v. Uruguay, Cariboni v. Uruguay, Muteba v. Zaire, among many many others. - The CAT's new General Comment, issued in the session which was recently held. - The following ICTY cases: Furundzija, Celebici, Kunarac, Krnojelac, Kvocka, Mrksic, among others. - The following IACtHR cases: Villagrán Morales v. Guatemala, Castro Castro Prison v. Peru, Loayza Tamayo v. Perú, Suárez Rosero v. Ecuador, Lori Berenson v. Perú, Cantoral Benavides v. Perú, Tibi v. Ecuador. - The reports of the U.N. Special Rapporteurs on Torture. - The book "The Treatment of Prisoners Under International Law" by Nigel S. Rodley.
Otherwise, this would be, once again, a superficial paragraph with very obvious imprecisions. If no one does this, I'm willing to write the section in a couple of months.Guillermo Otálora Lozano (talk) 03:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I deleted the last paragraph. It makes no sense here. It is obvious that the Convention against torture does not violate any civil rights or other provisions within the Constitution of the United States. It is also incorrect. The US can go into any treaty. If the Congress (even silently) agrees it comes into force. The US is from then on bound and liable. A country (neither the US) can not avoid international obligations by amending its constitution. It is just the same as in civil law. A corporation can not breach a contract by changing its statutes. I'm sorry to read ever and again the same myopic US nationalistic ramblings about their constitution. Otto (talk) 19:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Seems to have been added by Redress.org's Director. This is against our guidelines since there is a clear concern about conflict of interest. And with Redress having a specific mission issues of neutrality should also be considered as well as whether it is on point enough for the article. So I've moved it here so that uninvolved editors can discuss its appropriateness for our external links section. -- SiobhanHansa 19:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
In the Signatories of CAT section, without any explanation, some countries have numbers after their names, like "Bosnia and Herzegovina 3", "China 4 , 5", "Croatia 3", "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 4 , 10". What's the meaning behind? --Quest for Truth (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Have seen that USA reserved expressly the right of the CIA to be allowed to perform torture. Since CIA et al has been accused and not denied use of water-boardiing, what is the case here in 1. the first question posed 2. the use of waterboarding and its classification by the Convention Thankful for answers.Idealist707 (talk) 22:05, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 18:31, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
United Nations Convention against Torture → United Nations Convention Against Torture – Per MOS:TITLECAPS "Against" should be capitalized in titles of works. Current title is capitalized per UN style, not Wikipedia style. @Good Olfactory moved the page from target to current title, but the original title was correct under the guidelines. For an identical change that was reverted under this guideline, see Talk:United Nations Convention Against Corruption#Requested move 24 March 2021. Knr5 (talk) 17:03, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
...should be removed or colored differently as it is not a state that hasn't signed; it isn't a state at all. Maybe nitpicky but still. 100.40.29.79 (talk) 08:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
