International congresses held in Israel should be boycotted
EDITOR,--Derek Summerfield makes a valid point regarding doctors' complicity with torture in Israel.1 Israeli law permits torture under the Landau Commission but limits its degree, in theory. One way of affecting the Israeli Medical Association would be for doctors to boycott the many international congresses held in Israel until the association ensures its members' adherence to international codes against torture.
