FUTURE SUB-LETHAL, INCAPACITATING & PARALYSING TECHNOLOGIES –
THEIR COMING ROLE IN THE MASS PRODUCTION OF TORTURE, CRUEL, INHUMANE & DEGRADING TREATMENT
“1. INTRODUCTION This paper covers the emergence of new sub-lethal, incapacitating and paralysing technologies and their coming role in the mass production of torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. It grew out of the work the Omega Foundation has undertaken for Amnesty International (on electroshock, restraining and torture technologies),1 the European Commission,2 the European Parliament3 and Landmine Action4. Throughout its existence, Omega has tracked technologies, particularly less than lethal weapons) deployed by the police, military and security services to create human rights violations, including weapons used in torture.5 However, such technologies have always been seen by us as multi-functional, weapons of flexible response rather than specifically designed just for a role in torture.6 “
