So euphemisms were systematically used: enhanced techniques for torture interrogation expert for torturer.

The conviction, that all his faculties, even memory, and the simplest power of reflection were failing him, began to be an insufferable torture.

Alice Dunscombe, you know not a thousandth part of the torture that I have been made to feel, by high-born miscreants, who envy the merit they cannot equal, and detract from the glory of deeds that they dare not attempt to emulate.
Элис Данскомб, ты не знаешь и тысячной доли тех мучений, которые меня заставляли терпеть высокорожденные негодяи, завидуя заслугам, на которые они не способны, и умаляя славу деяний, которые им недоступны!

Я даже цветов не срывала, чтобы не причинить растению боли. Ты знаешь: я никогда не мучила насекомых…

For a reader with a bitter Gulag past it's a model of inefficient interrogation: Yuliya did not die under torture, and she was not driven insane.
Для читателя с горьким гулаговским прошлым это - образец следовательской неповоротливости: Юлия не умерла под пытками, и не была доведена до сумасшествия, а просто через месяц живехонькая отпущена!

In particular, the provision should be qualified so as to ensure its consistency with the obligation not to extradite persons in cases where they might be subject to torture or other violations in the receiving State.
В частности, это положение следовало бы уточнить таким образом, чтобы обеспечить его соответствие с обязательством не выдавать лиц в тех случаях, когда в принимающем государстве они могут подвергнуться пыткам или другим нарушениям.

He no longer heard the woman's screams; perhaps she had died quickly, without going through the slow torture of being burned alive.
Он больше не слышал криков вдовы. Может быть, ее смерть была быстрой и она избежала медленной пытки сожжения заживо.
