Is Torture Ever Morally Justifiable?
International Journal of Applied Philosophy 19 (2):179-192 (2005)
Abstract
In this paper I argue that torture is morally justified in some extreme emergencies. However, I also argue that notwithstanding the moral permissibility of torture in some extreme emergencies, torture ought not to be legalised or otherwise institutionalised.Author's Profile
