Document Summary
This review sheet should help focus your studying for the multiple choice exam. You will need to look up definitions for the listed concepts. Go through each point like a check list and you will be fine. Note that the exam does cover the whole semester. However, pre-midterm questions will only cover international law, genocide, and cultural relativism and the questions will be repeated from the midterm.

Whatever the motivation, there is one more characteristic shared by virtually all torturers: they believe they will get away with their crimes. Be aware of the social preconditions for torture. Be aware of the ticking time bomb argument. Why was the united states (under the administration of george w. bush) so determined to redefine the term torture? .
