25 94. The right to personal integrity is of such importance that the American Convention establishes specific protection for it by establishing, inter alia, the prohibition of torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and the impossibility that these be suspended during a state of emergency.92 95. The Inter-American Court has stated that the absolute prohibition of torture, both physical and psychological, today belongs to the International dominion of jus cogens and that this prohibition subsists even in the most difficult circumstances, such as war, threats of war, the battle against terrorism and any other crime, stages of siege or emergency, uproar or internal conflict, suspension of constitutional guarantees, political instability, or other emergencies or public calamities.93 The same court has indicated that universal and regional treaties enshrine this prohibition and the nonderogable right not to be tortured. Similarly, new international instruments contain this right and repeat the same prohibition, even under international humanitarian law.94 96. The Court has similarly established that “[the] infringement of the right to physical and psychological integrity of the human person is a type of violation which has a varying connotation and which encompasses torture and other types of mistreatment or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment whose physical and psychological consequences may have different degrees of intensity according to the extrinsic and intrinsic factors which should be proved in each specific situation.”95 That is to say, the personal characteristics of an alleged victim when people are submitted to certain treatments. 97. With regard to the scope of the State’s obligations and its responsibility, the UN Committee Against Torture has indicated that [E]ach State party should prohibit, prevent and redress torture and ill-treatment in all contexts of custody or control, for example, in prisons, hospitals, schools, institutions that engage in the care 92 I/A Ct.
