Fracturing the “Exception”: The Legal Sanctioning of Violent Interrogation Methods in Israel since 1987

This article examines the legal constructs governing the use of violent interrogation methods in Israel since 1987. It explores the shift from a sweeping suspension of the prohibition on torture to a fractured legal regime in which the different elements of interrogation—the perpetrator, the victim, the time of the interrogation, and the space in which it takes place—are effectively excluded from the prohibition on torture by means of separate legal constructs. I show how each of these constructs creates a narrow, seemingly proportional exception to ordinary law. Together, the four types of exception facilitate the sanctioning of state violence. I use this case to analyze the available configurations of the state of exception, distinguishing them from each other by what they exclude from ordinary law. By showing how the proliferation of legal constructs produces an entire ecosystem of different exceptions, I point to the inherent link between the suspension of the law and its proliferation: both create legal categories that rationalize and legitimize state violence.

打破“例外”:自 1987 年以来以色列对暴力审讯方式的法律制裁

本文考察了自 1987 年以来在以色列管理使用暴力审讯方法的法律结构。它探讨了从全面暂停禁止酷刑到破碎的法律制度的转变,在这种制度下,审讯的不同要素——犯罪者、受害者、审讯的时间和发生的空间——通过单独的法律解释有效地排除在禁止酷刑的范围之外。我展示了这些结构中的每一个如何创建一个狭隘的、看似成比例的普通法例外。这四种例外共同促进了对国家暴力的制裁。我用这个案例来分析异常状态的可用配置,通过它们从普通法中排除的内容来区分它们。
