Abstract

In accordance with domestic and international law, torture is prohibited. However, there remains a question: whether torture is absolutely prohibited and is not permitted in any circumstances or it can be prescribed in necessity cases. According to this research, although emergency may be justified, application of this institution in torture confronts with important challenges. The prohibition of torture is absolute in domestic and international law. Unnecessariness, invalidity and unreliability of information obtained under torture indicate the absolute prohibition of torture.
