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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fundamental rights adjudication, a court first has to determine whether the interest at stake falls within the scope of the fundamental right invoked. Whether or not an individual interest falls within the scope or ambit of one of the fundamental rights protected by the European Convention on Human Rights determines whether or not the European Court of Human Rights can decide on the merits of a case. This volume brings together a variety of legal scholars in order to examine the scope of fundamental rights. Topics range from the nature of human rights and the real or imagined risk of rights inflation to theories of positive obligations and social and economic rights. It contains contributions of a theoretical nature as well as analytical overviews of the ECtHR's approach. In addition, comparisons are made with domestic, EU and international law.

Book Synopsis Torture, Inhumanity and Degradation Under Article 3 of the ECHR by : Natasa Mavronicola
Download or read book Torture, Inhumanity and Degradation Under Article 3 of the ECHR written by Natasa Mavronicola and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights are the subject of enduring interest, engagement and controversy both in the academic and public domain. Absolute human rights provoke such interest and controversy even more intensely. This book critically engages with the concept of absolute rights, and examines how the absolute character of the right enshrined in Article 3 of the ECHR, which provides that no one shall be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, informs the interpretation of the right. The book offers a persuasive theoretical framework for delimiting absolute rights in a way which remains faithful to their absolute nature. It counters broad-brush accounts of the delimitation of absolute rights and provides a nuanced account of the foundations, challenges, and pathways to such delimitation. Concretising these starting points, the book undertakes a rigorous and theoretically engaged legal analysis of the character and substantive scope of Article 3 of the ECHR in light of this framework. The book therefore serves as a theoretical and doctrinal study of a fundamental - but contested - area of human rights law.
