| Message | What is classified as "cruel or inhumane treatment" under the current law? |

| Message | You are referring to the proposed law. Our current law does not set any standards for extradition. Ok, let's start by water boarding, electrical shots, spider and snake bites, chemicals introduced into the body that will make the person suffer, cut extremeties. That doesn't cover it all, it is just a rough example. Any violation of human rights is considered cruel or inhumane treatment. |

| Message | Have we ever signed any international treaty defining exactly what the human rights are? Do we consider the right to privacy a human right? for example. I would like the human rights part to be detailed a bit more before I vote on this bill. And yeah I meant the proposed law, just typed a bit quickly |

| Message | Well, even if a write what human rights are, it will be non-binding. I will do some research to check if we ever signed a treaty about human rights. |

| Message | We have not signed any international treaties that defines what human rights are. Pariah Idealism is going to write a bill detailing what human rights are, as an attachment to this one. The Minister of Foreign Affairs can also write a treaty defining what human rights are. |
