Successes of Coercive Interrogation Techniques

¶ … Laws and Legal Limitations in the United States Have Affected the Use of Coercive Interrogation Techniques After the 9/11 attacks, the United States' government abandoned its policy going against torture. Many professionals devised the move like those from the health care, lawyers justifying it, with the higher levels of government authorizing it. A program deemed with psychological and physical abuse was used on the detainees stationed in Guantanamo Bay. Nonetheless, the government has been known for championing the rights of prisoners around the globe through various laws.

Through several legal frameworks, the country has been purposing to develop "a new country in the new world that would distinguish itself from its humanity." This was done even before the First World War. Part of the participatory preparations that ensure non-use of force among the detainees was the signing and ratification of the Geneva Convention by the United States of America. The signed copies of the agreement were entrusted to the United States of America. Moreover, the U.S. government had a bigger task in clarifying the Nuremberg trials.

They were the basis for the establishment of criminal accountability over the officials of government towards crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes. The Nuremberg basis forms the fundamental issues that are contained in the international law of armed conflict, together with the international criminal law. The legislation and limitations against coercive interrogation techniques have affected heavily by the process of soliciting technical information from the criminals.

As far as the government of George Bush of the United States of America was against torture on grounds of going against human rights, the limitations have complicated the entire process of accessing criminal information from the sources. With the attacks of 11, 2011, it became apparent that the restrictions were protecting the interests of the offenders, most of which were against the processes of acquiring necessary information from them about criminality. The use of force serves to be one of the mechanisms of minimizing crime in the United States of America.

Now, the rates of crime have been subdued merely because of fear of torture when arrested. The limitations paved way for detainees or suspects to engage in crime, and remain adamant throughout the interrogation process. Most of these criminals are not able to convey the necessary information that has hindered the investigation into occurrences of crime in the country and the world as a whole.

Crime has escalated in the United States of America only because criminals know they will not be subjected to any physical and psychological torture when they are in the bases like in Guantanamo Bay. The interrogative processes that are used to access information about criminal activities are somewhat limited to non-use of torture and any other similar technique, as proposed and protected by the legal restrictions. Therefore, the entire process of managing access to criminal information has become hard for many investigators. Just.
