Zusammenfassung: | Universally condemned and everywhere illegal, torture goes on in democracies as well as in dictatorships. Nonetheless, many Americans were surprised following the attacks of 9/11 at how easily the United States embraced torture as well as the supposedly lesser evil of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Nothing seemed extreme when it came to questioning real and imagined terrorists. Extraordinary rendition—sending people captured in the "war on terror" to nations long counted among the world’s worst human rights violators—hid from the public eye cruel and bloody interrogations. "Torture lite" or "torture without marks" became the norm for those in American custody. In Rendition to Torture, Alan W. Clarke explains how the United States adopted torture as a matter of official policy; how and why it turned to extraordinary rendition as a way to outsource more extreme, mutilating forms of torture; and outlines the steps the United States took to hide its abuses. Many adverse consequences attended American use of torture. False information gleaned from torture was used to justify the Iraq war, adding potency to the charge that the war was illegal under international law. Moreover, European nations and Canada aided, abetted, and became thoroughly enmeshed in U.S.-led torture and renditions, thereby spreading both the problem and the blame for this practice. Clarke offers an extended critique of these activities, placing them in historical and legal context as well as in transnational and comparative perspective |

Mai 2020) Universally condemned and everywhere illegal, torture goes on in democracies as well as in dictatorships. Nonetheless, many Americans were surprised following the attacks of 9/11 at how easily the United States embraced torture as well as the supposedly lesser evil of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Nothing seemed extreme when it came to questioning real and imagined terrorists. Extraordinary rendition—sending people captured in the "war on terror" to nations long counted among the world’s worst human rights violators—hid from the public eye cruel and bloody interrogations. "Torture lite" or "torture without marks" became the norm for those in American custody. In Rendition to Torture, Alan W. Clarke explains how the United States adopted torture as a matter of official policy; how and why it turned to extraordinary rendition as a way to outsource more extreme, mutilating forms of torture; and outlines the steps the United States took to hide its abuses. Many adverse consequences attended American use of torture. False information gleaned from torture was used to justify the Iraq war, adding potency to the charge that the war was illegal under international law. Moreover, European nations and Canada aided, abetted, and became thoroughly enmeshed in U.S.-led torture and renditions, thereby spreading both the problem and the blame for this practice. Clarke offers an extended critique of these activities, placing them in historical and legal context as well as in transnational and comparative perspective In English Geschichte 2001-2008 gnd rswk-swf POLITICAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh Deportation Government policy United States Detention of persons Government policy United States Extraordinary rendition United States Extraordinary rendition False imprisonment United States National security United States Torture Government policy United States Torture Beschuldigter (DE-588)4144883-2 gnd rswk-swf Sicherheitspolitik (DE-588)4116489-1 gnd rswk-swf Freiheitsberaubung (DE-588)4018330-0 gnd rswk-swf Deportation (DE-588)4011467-3 gnd rswk-swf Internierung (DE-588)4130608-9 gnd rswk-swf Folter (DE-588)4017801-8 gnd rswk-swf Auslieferung (DE-588)4136798-4 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Sicherheitspolitik (DE-588)4116489-1 s Beschuldigter (DE-588)4144883-2 s Auslieferung (DE-588)4136798-4 s Freiheitsberaubung (DE-588)4018330-0 s Internierung (DE-588)4130608-9 s Deportation (DE-588)4011467-3 s Folter (DE-588)4017801-8 s Geschichte 2001-2008 z 1\p DE-604 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780813553122 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
