Too much focus on U.S. law

Someone needs to write this article who understands European law, which is much-more specific in terms of violations of jus cogens, or violations of peremptory norms of international law. Some fool just wrote that Ireland v. U.K, found no torture (which is untrue), and also claimed that "inhuman treatment" was a "lesser offense" than torture, which is factually inaccurate. Inhuman treatment is banned at the same-level as torture. Inhuman also is differentiated from degrading treatment under European law, where it's been jurisprudentially defined. In U.S., this isn't an issue - as "cruel and unusual" is a form of legal abstraction, which calls on physical damage. Europeans take psychological damage into account. American law does not, thanks to the U.S. Senate "prolonged mental harm" carve-out to the U.S. signatory to the UN Convention Against Torture, aka the UN "CAT". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.197.239.29 (talk) 16:42, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
