The Optional Protocol to the UN Convention Against Torture
Author: Rachel H. Murray
Publisher:
ISBN: 0199602190
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
The Optional Protocol to the UN Convention Against Torture (OPCAT) establishes an independent international monitoring committee (SPT) which itself will visit states and places where persons are deprived of their liberty. It also requires states to set up independent national bodies to visit places of detention. This book, drawing upon events held and interviews with governments, civil society, members of UN treaty bodies, national visiting bodies and others, identifies key factors that have shaped the operation of these visiting bodies since OPCAT came into force in 2006. It looks in detail at the background to the adoption of the Protocol, as well as how the international committee, the SPT, has carried out its mandate in its first few years. It examines the range of places of detention that could be visited by these bodies, and the expectations placed on the national visiting bodies themselves. The book also places the OPCAT within the broader system of torture prevention in the UN and elsewhere and identifies a range of trends arising from the different geographical regions. As well as providing an insight into its work, this detailed examination of OPCAT also provides valuable lessons for other new human rights treaties such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Convention on Enforced Disappearances, which have similar provisions concerning national mechanisms.

Torture
Author: Jean-Jacques Gautier
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
"Since the proclamation in 1948 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the international instruments condemning torture have multiplied. Nevertheless, far from receding, this scourge has spread like a cancer in a large number of States of all political tendencies in all continents. At present, an international Convention against torture is in process of elaboration within the United Nations. There is no indication that it will be accompanied by the necessary provisions to ensure its implementation. An original and realistic proposal was launched four years ago by a Geneva lawyer, Jean-Jacques Gautier, who obtained the support of a number of Swiss and international experts. In 1978 the International Commission of Jurists adopted this idea and turned it into a Draft Optional Protocol, which is published in this booklet. In March 1980, the Government of Costa Rica submitted it formally to the UN Commission. In short, it proposes that, in order to ensure that the Convention Against Torture is really enforced, the States Parties undertake to authorize a Committee established under the Protocol to visit freely all places of detention within their territory. It is thus a procedure for prevention rather than for condemnation. This idea, inspired by the experience of the International Committee of the Red Cross, is making gradual progress. The creation of this new weapon in the campaign against torture is supported, in this booklet, by some personalities of world-wide renown."--Page 4 of cover.
