- W2321867339 abstract "On 12 March 1992, the United States became the first country in the world to inaugurate legislation offering torture victims the legal right to sue their oppressors for civil damages. Under the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA),' victims of torture now have a federal cause of action in US courts against their torturers who acted under color of law.2 The TVPA is welcome legislation for supporters of human rights. Nearly every nation today agrees that torture and extrajudicial killing violates international law.3 In 1980, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held in the landmark decision, Filartiga v. Pefia-lrala,4 that official torture is now prohibited by the law of nations.5 Despite this universal consensus, in practice governments throughout the world continue to participate in summary executions and torture.6 Amnesty International reports that in 1991 alone, more than 100 governments engaged in acts of torture.7" @default.
