The first independent, in-depth global study of the impact of torture prevention measures, involving more than 20 researchers in 16 countries, gives important new insights into the most effective ways to reduce torture and ill-treatment.
The research shows that torture can be prevented, in particular by improving safeguards during the first hours of detention and by closing gaps between law and practice. This joint event, organized with the Association for the Prevention of Torture will discuss the main findings of the research, as well as to explore their policy implications.
