| Summary: | Based on the distinction between moral and legal judgments, the author supports the thesis that torture, in some cases, can be morally permissible. Consequently, it is located on the side of those who are opposed to the moral absolutist position that does not endorse in any case and under any consideration the possibility of torture. Therefore, in the text it is argued that under particular situations and from a moral perspective, it is not ruled out that torture is permitted. However, this does not mean a defense can legally permit torture, much less validate or not condemn or show the most absolute rejection of torture applied at different times by different governments or security forces. |
