The volunteer who carries out the task of torture is less liable than the high-ranking civil servant who justified and nurtured it. And the latter is less liable than the political decision-maker who asked for it.
El voluntario que desempeña la tarea de torturar es menos responsable que el funcionario de alto nivel que la justificaba y la fomentaba y éste es menos responsable que el encargado de decisiones políticas que la pedía.
