Defining specific properties characterized as certain elements of new content or properties limiting the definition to more narrow characteristics in comparison to the preliminary definitions allowed the researcher to compare international approaches to the legal enforcement the concept of “torture” in terms of defining the main elements of a crime (object, objective side, subject, subjective side) and to highlight their main advantages and disadvantages. The article focuses on the study of a phased process of establishing the prohibition of torture and defining of the concept of torture in national legislation; all amendments of Article 127 “Torture” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the reasons justifying the changes in the approaches to the characteristics of torture are also investigated.
