"Although 146 States of the 192 Member States of the United Nations ratified or acceded to the international convention outlawing torture, the practice is still rife worldwide 25 years after the treaty’s adoption, the UN Committee against Torture warned today.
Among the main obstacles, Committee Chairperson Claudio Grossman cited the refusal to adopt a clear definition of torture, to criminalize torture and establish adequate penalties, failure to investigate alleged torture, and impunity for perpetrators of acts of torture." (highlight added)
Besides those few, niggling problems I just don't understand why the treaty didn't work! Why do we even involve ourselves with these incompetent idiots? Cancel their lease and send 'em packing.
