Paragraph text
The inadmissibility of unlawfully obtained confessions and other tainted evidence is not only one of the essential means of preventing torture and other ill-treatment, but is also crucial to guarantees of a fair trial. The ineffectiveness of efforts to put an end to the practice of torture, or other ill-treatment, is often the result of the fact that State authorities continue to admit tainted evidence during trials.
