No, because... Human Rights!
Human rights violations have always occurrd in the most extreme circumstances. The U.S violate human rights in Guantanamo bay and, although this has damaged thier reputation, they are still respected by the global community because it is recognised that in some (very rare) circumstances, this activity is necessary.
The use of torture is a serious violation of human rights, and is strictly prohibited under international law. Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that ‘No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment’. Should this motion be passed, it would undermine Britain’s commitment to the whole document, and would severely impact on its international reputation and its relations around the world.
