DESCRIPTION:More than 20 years ago\, international law declared torture a 
 crime that can never be justified. Yet governments continue to torture\, a
 nd citizens continue to argue about torture. We argue about ticking bombs\
 , what works and what doesn't\, what is and isn't torture\, whether absolu
 te rules have emergency exceptions. We debate whether to hold politicians\
 , lawyers\, and psychologists accountable. The lecture will address these 
 arguments and reflect on the experience of the UK\, the United States\, an
 d elsewhere.
