HIST 29507: Overcoming Torture:Past and Present
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The abolition of torture, as well as of cruel and inhuman punishment, is one of the key standards of achievement of the modern era. This discussion course begins with the fact that torture is a remarkably persistent reality in order to explore how, in different times and places, it was contained and how it was overcome (if only temporarily). Classic European cases feature in the first part of discussion. Human rights and humanitarian campaigns against torture in the second half of the twentieth century are discussed in the second part. The United States, past and present, is the focus of the third part. M. Geyer. Autumn.
