Abstract
Abstract This chapter introduces Part III, examining four models of legalized torture. It focuses on each model's legal aspects, but their practical ones are also addressed in order to assess the extent to which the models have succeeded in limiting torture to ticking bomb and similar situations, and minimizing its effects in the wider context. Two models applied in Israel — the Landau model and the High Court of Justice model — are examined, as well as the theoretical ‘torture warrants’ model and the ‘High Value Detainees’ model applied by the USA in its war on terror. Due to its as yet unsettled and constantly changing nature, the US model is deemed to be one of ‘quasi-legalized torture’. Models of total secrecy and hypocrisy are briefly discussed and dismissed.
