The objective of this article is to analyze respect for the human dignity of persons deprived of liberty and to determine the scope of the international prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The jurisprudential work of international human rights tribunals has contributed to defining the notions of, torture or cruel treatment and has strengthened the absolute nature of the prohibition. The progressive character of international human rights law has played a fundamental role in this. This work systematizes the jurisprudential criteria applied by the Inter-American Court in the period between 1989 and 2021 to define the scope of the prohibition of torture and other treatment.
