Book Synopsis The United Nations Convention Against Torture and its Optional Protocol by : Manfred Nowak
Download or read book The United Nations Convention Against Torture and its Optional Protocol written by Manfred Nowak and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 1376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prohibition of torture - the right to physical and mental integrity - is guaranteed in the strongest terms under international law. It is protected as an absolute right, non-derogable even in times of war or public emergency under many human rights treaties and is also generally accepted as a part of customary international law and even ius cogens. The main instrument to combat torture within the framework of the United Nations is the Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT). This Commentary explores the problematic definition of torture in the Convention, the substantive obligations of States parties, the principle of 'non-refoulement', provisions for international monitoring, and also the concept of preventative visits to all places of detention as contained in the Optional Protocol to the CAT. It also covers issues including the distinction between torture and cruel inhuman or degrading treatment and the principle of non-admissibility of evidence extracted under torture. Full article by article commentary on the Convention also provides historical context and thorough analysis of case-law and practice from international and regional courts and monitoring bodies. Relevant case-law from domestic courts are also discussed. Despite the broad ratification and the universal recognition of the prohibition of torture and other forms of ill-treatment we witness a 'global crisis' affecting the majority of countries worldwide. In recent years the protection of human rights is experiencing a particularly serious crisis - also affecting the phenomenon of torture - in which official narratives and public belief often trivialise and even endorse such practices in the name of security and the fight against terrorism, ignoring the suffering and damages it causes. On the other hand, the positive experiences in some States illustrate that torture can be eradicated if the provisions of CAT and OPCAT are taken seriously and are being fully implemented.

This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of the author in writing this book is to promote fight with torture or other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. Unfortunately, torture is widespread and extremely difficult to detect and eliminate. The use of torture by state officials is one of the most horrifying human rights violations. Torture and cruelty are not limited to any specific culture, geographic area or time period. International legal agreements have had a positive, though limited, effect on the human rights practices of some governments. One conclusion the author arrived at in this research is that the use of torture or other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment is always an effective way to keep the population in a constant state of fear and thereby makes them easier to control.

Download or read book The Principle of Non-Refoulement under the ECHR and the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment written by Eman Hamdan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Eman Hamdan examines the protection against refoulement under the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Convention against Torture, with the aim to determine which of those Conventions affords better protection for international protection seekers. Hamdan explores the scope and content of the principle of non-refoulement under both Conventions and the application of the principle to the immigration control measures and the extraordinary rendition operations. The author provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the case-law of both the European Court of Human Rights and the UN Committee against Torture on the procedural and substantive aspects of the principle of non-refoulement, in order to help practitioners to determine which of these human rights treaty bodies is more favorable for their specific non-refoulement case. This book was chosen to participate in the Professor Walther Hug Prize 2014-2015, which is a prize for the best legal researches in Switzerland for each academic year.

Book Synopsis Does Torture Prevention Work? by : Richard Carver
Download or read book Does Torture Prevention Work? written by Richard Carver and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past three decades, international and regional human rights bodies have developed an ever-lengthening list of measures that states are required to adopt in order to prevent torture. But do any of these mechanisms actually work? This study is the first systematic analysis of the effectiveness of torture prevention. Primary research was conducted in 16 countries, looking at their experience of torture and prevention mechanisms over a 30-year period. Data was analysed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Prevention measures do work, although some are much more effective than others. Most important of all are the safeguards that should be applied in the first hours and days after a person is taken into custody. Notification of family and access to an independent lawyer and doctor have a significant impact in reducing torture. The investigation and prosecution of torturers and the creation of independent monitoring bodies are also important in reducing torture. An important caveat to the conclusion that prevention works is that is actual practice in police stations and detention centres that matters - not treaties ratified or laws on the statute book.
