Torture is defined as “the action or practice of inflicting severe pain or suffering on someone as a punishment or in order to force them to do or say something.” Torture is a human rights violation, according to Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR):
Article 5 of the UDHR states: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.”2 As torture has devastating consequences for its victims, the international prohibition against it is absolute. 2 United Nations Office of the High Commission for Human Rights. 1948.”
