Descripción
In defining the term 'torture this author emphasises the necessity of taking into account the suffering of people under torture'. Torture is usually conducted in secret so that the suffering or 'howling' of the person being tortured willl not be witnessed. However, this suffering must be brought to light when defining the term.
