Description:
It has come to the attention of many nations that there is no torture in the UN. My proposal is a simple one: To outlaw and prevent torturing of witnesses to receive information.
Every nation has the right to interrogate witnesses. However, they do not have the right to break bones, blind and bruise people while in questioning. (The same goes for punishments for a crime. The punishments have to fit the crime and not include torture or cruel and unusual punishment.)
Any information proved to be found by methods of torture will not be heard in a court of law and the nations will be punished with a substantial fine.
I hope that everyone realizes how barbaric torture and cruel and unusual punishment really is and will support the views of the many concerned nations.
