Shoulg Torture be legalized

Should the Government allow Torture? The issue of the government legalizing torture is being very current and has brought a lot of debate between those who are against it, those who think that it sometimes can be used for good, and those who are between.

I would argue that torture should not be used under any circumstances because it is very immoral, inhuman and it cannot be justified. Torture should not be legalized by the government because it is wrong. Torture does not represent America. To me, America represents freedom and torture is not an aspect of freedom. Every human being has its own rights protected by the human rights conversion, and not being tortured is one of them. As such torture should not be allowed in any case. If the government allows torture that means they have violated the international law and if one fundamental human right is violated today it may lead to more human rights violation and this is something that none of us wants. We are all equal in front of the law, and no one has the right to treat somebody else less than that, no
