You know what? I’m fine with this.

Sometimes it almost seems as if there’s something like Justice in this world.

I’ve seen this mentioned before on BB, but I wasn’t able to find the UN code on this. Best I could find (in CAT/C/51/4) was:

solitary confinement might constitute torture or inhuman treatment and should be regulated

The UN “Special Rapporteur” on torture, Juan Méndez, has made similar statements in his reports, but if the stronger assertion has been codified I can’t find it. (This is not meant as a defense of solitary, BTW.)
