floor ratification of the international legal instrument readers into sovereign decision of concern state so the state can be forced to ratify a treaty however the prohibition of torture is not dependent on the ratification of the treaty because it is considered to be the fundamental customer is human right which is even true means you cannot even be. sure change to a separate treaty so that is one of the strongest customary human rights those recognized universally one of the strongest customer to human rights as your portrait yet we keep getting report after report which accuses the indian government of using torture in job one how can change be brought about. oh because that is not the only context they receive unfortunately regular
not that into visit india myself despite several requests to conduct if it was what is it that the indian government says every time you bring up this request that you want to visit india and my understanding is that no un special rapporteur on torture has ever been able to visit india to verify any such claims. unfortunately despite several requests to the official requests letter to the indian government i have not received any response so far in days also significative the united nations convention against torture but it hasn t yet been ratified is that a way for the international community to pressure india to read to find this convention so that india can be held accountable under this convention the ratification of the international legal instrument readers into sovereign decision of concerns state so no state can be forced to ratify
ideology. john mccain is a senator who has a very particular set of life experiences. so i would actually defer to them and i think there are still some outstanding questions. lisa: have a great an amount of respect for senator mccain and his and especially megan. but i do think there s a fair frustration just in the sense that he had previously supported john brennan and you also look at someone like senator feinstein that previously supported john brennan. trish: that was before the 6,000 page senate report on torture came out. lisa: they also knew that john brennan had been involved in a more intimate and higher up way. harris: for the mind. farther down the food chain. lisa: i think there is a fair frustration in what looked like a double standard or hypocrisy. having supported john brennan but not supporting gina haspel and citing that, the enhanced interrogation as what is disqualifying for her
cooperation from the community in making cases against the bad guys is critical. and if you don t have the trust of the police and law enforcement officials, you cannot solve crime problems. but of course, on the other hand, you need a cooperative police force that s willing to go out and put their lives on the line to fight the bad guys. so it s a really delicate balance, not to scare the police out of aggressive policing, but on the other hand, to make sure that they honor and respect the legitimate law-abiding citizens in these neighborhoods. and hopefully the department of justice will find a way to achieve these two competing goals. it is a difficult challenge to say the least. paul callan, thanks so much for being with us. thank you, john. in just a moment we ll have much more on what we have learned what is told to donald trump about the claims of russian interference and perhaps having incriminating information on him. plus disagree with donald trump on torture, on othe
assumption. that he would have? yes. listen, i was listening to those hearings, and, you know, cabinet pick after cabinet pick, cia director, state, defense, different with t differed with the president-elect on torture, on russia, the seriousness of the problem, on the iran nuclear deal, on the muslim ban. i have to ask you a question. perhaps i ll start with you, congressman molten. who is going to win out? is the president going to overrule them? what does this all mean? i hope that the truth wins out here. frankly president-elect trump is wrong on all of these issues. he was wrong during the campaign. he is wrong now. now we see officials, professionals, on his own team saying that he is wrong. what we hope is a truth will win out because if it doesn t, we re in a lot of trouble.
