Abstract
The prohibition of torture has recently been discussed in detail amongst
academicians, at governmental level and especially in legal circles around the
world. The questions of the possible limits of the prohibition of torture, and
whether torture is or should be allowed to ward off serious dangers in the war
against terrorism, remained the center point. The present work contributes to
this debate by looking at the topic from a new starting point focusing on
Pakistan. In the case of Pakistan, the prohibition of torture has been discussed
in the constitutional law of Pakistan and its relations with Islamic legal
system, in the light of a historical process and examined in relation to the
cultural understanding of human dignity. In this way, the jurisprudential
question about the absoluteness of the ban on torture is placed in a wider
context of cultural and legal-philosophical dimensions of Pakistan.
