"A confession to a crime may not be admissible if it is obtained by the use of duress."

"The use of duress to obtain information from prisoners of war is restricted by the Geneva Conventions."

"International law prohibits the use of duress in obtaining treaties, but this was common when European countries had worldwide empires."
