Description

Barry Leonard (ed). The UN has condemned torture from the outset as one of the vilest acts perpetrated by human beings on their fellow creatures. Torture is a crime under internat. law; it is prohibited & cannot be justified under any circumstances. This prohibition forms part of customary internat. law, making it binding on every member of the internat. community. This Fact Sheet describes the pertinent internat. instruments on torture, imprisonment, & codes of conduct; treaty monitoring bodies; Special Rapporteurs; & the UN Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture. Also includes a model complaint form; complaint guidelines; model questionnaire to be completed by persons alleging torture or their rep.; & confidential violence against women info. form.
