Abstract
Globalization of torture – secret CIA prisons around the world A report published in December 2014 by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence sparked enormous excitement and discussion on many levels: legal, ethical, political. It confirmed information that had appeared in the media many years earlier. The purpose of this article is to analyze the key points of view on programs connected with the war on terror: CIA secret detention and extraordinary rendition, and the enhanced interrogation techniques. Important in this discussion is the formal presentation of “black sites,” which were facilitated by President George W. Bush and his associates. Analysis of the report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence casts a shadow on the anti‑terrorism activities carried out by the CIA, and raises many questions: how far have Americans gone in violating international law, on the grounds of providing safety? Why, despite the low efficiency of secret CIA programs, were they continued? Last but not least, the rhetorical question is: will “world policeman” rise to the task and prosecute those responsible for the torture of people?
