This book takes a close look at the use of torture during the French-Algerian War (1954-1962) and reveals the failure, under stress, of a liberal democratic state to uphold its legal obligations on human rights. Rita Maran examines the justification for the routine use of torture during that war and contrasts this to the simultaneous development of global instruments to assure human rights and abolish torture.
The book points out that human rights violations traceable to ideology occur irrespective of a state's political system and vaunted traditions of rights.
