A fogvatartottakkal szemben megvalósuló kínzás, valamint az embertelen vagy megalázó bánásmód, illetve büntetés fogalmainak elhatárolása

Absztrakt

This paper tries to find the distinction between torture and other ill-treatment (inhuman and degrading treatment). The notion of torture is precisely and expressly defined in the 1984 UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. However, none of the international human rights instruments define the notion of inhuman and degrading treatment. Therefore, the distinction in this paper is based on the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights.
