Introduction
The physical or mental harm given to any human being can be referred as the torture. The studies which have always included, torture, enemy and ethics stays under the controversial talk. The torture of terrorist which is being selected to undergo during this paper, the 9/11 should also be part of the main issues which had brought the practice of torturing the captured terrorist on the name of war on terror. There are different ways which are being used while getting out the information from the captured people and all the ways comes under the torture. Every human being hold the moral and ethical obligation towards other fellow human being regardless of the conduct being done by that person. The claim of human rights for considering the torture highly unethical contradicts the practice of law enforcement agencies. The security of people and the torturing others to stop the terrorist attacks comes under the moral dilemma (Pojman & Fieser, 2017). Furthermore, the discussion will undertake considering all the aspects of moral and ethical concern by analyzing the policy of torture to terrorists
Discussion
The idea of free society which is under practice in the America holds the morality and ethics on high regards by emphasizing on it. IN the meantime, the torturing which is being done on the terrorists should be considered the influence on that ethical and moral values which Americans holds in the high regards. The law of internationally recognized standard have confirmed that torturing after some extend is illegal but it is being ignored by the law enforcement agencies in the America (Vaughn, 2015). The emphasize of the international human rights wings are on the prosecuting of the terrorist with accordance to the law commonly practice in the country rather doing torturing to those people inside the hidden stations which are also being criticized globally. During the time of war, the things which comes under the question mostly is morality. The ethics and morality have always been damaged during the war time because of thousands people get killed during that war. The other aspect of war after the 9/11 incident that Americans not just in their own soil but around the world where they are fighting war on terror established station for torturing the captured prisoners (Alison & Alison, 2017).
It is not an essay task to take the morality under consideration when the torturing comes into place. Those who speak in the right of torturing provides valid reason. In order to keep the peace and avoid incidents which will not only bring down the peace but also thousands of innocent people will lost their lives. Terrorism is considered to be the disease currently which is affecting the peace of whole world. The innocent people who have lost their lives not just in America but also those nations who were currently facing the same issue of terrorism have been suffering since. The war which is being undertaken in those areas and the terrorists group who are creating instability (Conrad et al., 2016).
Several of the moral theories which discuss the morality and the meaning of it sometimes defend the torture and sometimes goes against it. Utilitarianism theory states that the outcome which is being needed if required any action no matter to any extent then that action is justifiable. That means the gain from the torture is bringing the peace and ends the terrorism then the torture is defendable. The other theory of the morality Categorical Imperative which suggests that in any way never act irrational which effects another human being. The terrorists mostly are the people who are angry by the consequences of war and these aspects should be considered (Broad, 2014).
Conclusions
In conclusion, regardless of any reason torture to any human being is unethical and against the law of morality. Justifying the torture should never be done on any case. The terrorism and the terrorist who are spreading it are in need of help because of their conditions, both economic and mental. There is not a single problem in this world which can’t be solved through talking.
