Torturing prisoners of war is often rationalized by some as a means of extracting critical intelligence that could save lives or gain strategic advantages. However, it is widely condemned by international law, including the Geneva Conventions, as it violates human rights and ethical standards. Torture can lead to unreliable information, damage a nation's moral standing, and foster further conflict and resentment. Ultimately, it undermines the principles of justice and humanity that societies strive to uphold.
