A critical thinking of Chinese definitions of torture

The definition of torture in China is very limited in its legal scope This situation seems not very important in law but given that China has signed and ratified the Convention for two decades it is China rsquo s duty to bring the definition of torture in line with international standards Also its definition is related to whether or not to exclude all of tortured confessions in China rsquo s justice practice Thus its legislative revisions on the scope of torture to expand the definition are most needed in Chinese future institutional reforms on supervising police interrogations and evidence exclusion This critical thinking from an international human rights perspective could help Chinese courts not to focus on remedying wrongful convictions caused by torture in a narrow sense but promote them to check and exclude any form of torture from use in conviction or sentencing
