Abstract

This research approaches, from a literature review, the influence of illuminist thinker Cesare Beccaria on the evolution of the fight against torture practices in the scope of human rights. We consider that the author’s criticism to the legal system of his time is a foundation on which the contemporary human rights perspective against torture is developed.
