There are no exceptions.7 Torture is defined as any act by which severe physical or mental pain or suffering is intentionally inflicted on a person, other than that which is inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.8 Ill-treatment is defined as other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment which do not amount to torture.9 Any act of torture committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack, is a crime against humanity.10 No prisoner shall be subjected, even with his or her consent, to any medical or scientific experimentation which may be detrimental to health.11 Like torture and ill-treatment, enforced disappearances and summary executions are completely prohibited.12 2
