Abstract
This Note discusses the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) and is primarily concerned with CAT's relationship with U.S. immigration law. Part H provides background on the Convention Against Torture and the history of the Convention in the United States. Part III discusses U.S. immigration law, its legislative, executive and judicial interpretations, and some of the provisions and policies that violate CAT and customary international law. It critiques the way in which the United States treats émigrés fleeing from torture. Part IV recommends changes to U.S. law and policy to ensure compliance with international law under CAT.
