The US is a party to the UN Convention Against Torture (in the Supplemental Reading folder under Student Resources). Does the U.S. Have an obligation under that Convention to prosecute former President Bush in a US court for his decision to authorize waterboarding? Why or why not? Please discuss the specific Articles of the Convention that apply.
2. If waterboarding is torture as defined in the Convention, what are the similarities between the legal issues in this case and the legal issues in the Pinochet case in your text?
3. If waterboarding is torture as defined in the Convention, could President Bush be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court?
Please help me I'm stuck with this
