Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
The General Assembly,
Reaffirming that no one shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or
degrading treatment or punishment,
Recalling that freedom from torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading
treatment or punishment is a non-derogable right under international law, including
international human rights law and international humanitarian law, that must be
respected and protected under all circumstances, including in times of international
or internal armed conflict or disturbance or any other public emergency, that the
absolute prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or
punishment is affirmed in relevant international instruments and that legal and
procedural safeguards against such acts must not be subject to measures that would
circumvent this right,
