    It sounds like it does as like they say in the article the UN classify it as torture. If people ignore that and choose to torture people anyway it’s probably useful to have a ban on the specific type of torture that people are trying to avoid.

      The only reason to explicitly ban one particular type of torture is if you want to allow other types of torture at some point.
