Could
a population consent to be subject to torture? (Q&A 1)
I doubt that a population has the right to waive it's rights unless it does it unanimously, which is nigh impossible. Even though I accept rights are human concepts not innate to our beings, we must act as if they are, and guard them as if they are. I don't think it should ever be possible for a ruling body to waive the rights of it's subjects, similarly I do not think that such a thing can be democratically decided.
