Jan Philipp Reemtsma on Torture

Jan Philipp Reemtsma, director of the Hamburg Institute for Social Research and himself once the victim of abduction, reflects in an interview with Jan Feddersen on proposals to make torture legal in certain cases put forward by American intellectuals such as Michael Ignatieff and Alan Derchovitz. According to Reemstma, this would be a grave mistake. "We would have to draw up a law, then the methods of torture would have to be discussed and then there would be a big parliamentary debate and finally a public discussion about torture methods, including questions such as: Can people be deprived of their sleep? Can their bones be broken? Can they be given electric shocks? Can they be burned with cigarettes? Where should we draw the line? Think what this would entail: it would mean sacrificing some of the progress we have made in becoming a civilised people, and of which we should be proud. It would mean barbarising the general public."
