And the "Convention against Torture" generally corresponding domestic legislation in criminal law article 247 pairs to define the crime of torture ("Judicial workers who suspect or defendant by torture or violence to force testimony from a witness, three years imprisonment or criminal detention ...... "), but its scope than the United Nations' Convention against Torture is much more narrow."
