The definition of sustainability has become well known in accordance with the United Nations Brundtland Commission and dates to 1987 whereby ‘sustainability’ becomes understood as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development is noted to be the core principle of international environmental law.

Human rights are integral to the preservation and negotiation of human values enabling to sustainable universal humanity. Addressing the matters of torture and other cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment or punishment is fundamental to preservation of respect for human life. Torture and further ill-treatment are examined in contexts of general interest to implement Articles and prevent unacceptable behaviours, approaches to places of individuals’ deprivation of liberty, and matters pertaining to armed conflicts.

Methodologically considerations are based on an examination of data accumulated out of opening and closing of the 42nd session of Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture, information made available by the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner’s Committee Against Torture, recordings with former inmates – David Honeywell and Liam Knights – produced by the University of Leeds, recordings on ethics of imprisonment – hearing from Dr. Emma Wincup (Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Leeds) and John Batchelor (Barrister) – produced by the University of Leeds, additional international humanitarian law and international human rights law materials, and further accompanied by a range of literary materials. Undertaken is a human rights centered anthropological holism with elements of cultural relativism and overtone of thick description.
