The article attempts to reconstruct the analytical debates on the morality of torture. The tragic events of September 11, 2001 served as a pretext for renewing the discussion. Professor of law Alan Dershowitz initiated debates on the justification of torture in extraordinary circumstances. Dershowitz’s argument consists of several key propositions: a) we must acknowledge the widespread use of torture; b) we should bring torture into the realm of law. Dershowitz’s idea has met both support and criticism from various professional humanitarians. Despite the tremendous amount of criticism, Dershowitz’s argumentation in many aspects still remains one of the few ways to engage in a substantive debate in favor of the use of torture.
