While the practices of torture have varied across different countries and historical periods, Western nations have largely moved away from legal and sanctioned torture since the mid-20th century, particularly following the adoption of international human rights treaties like the UN Convention Against Torture in 1984. However, instances of torture and inhumane treatment have still been reported, especially in the context of war or national security concerns, suggesting that while formal policies may have changed, violations still occur. Overall, the commitment to human rights has led many Western nations to officially prohibit torture, but enforcement and adherence can vary.
