FORUM: "Can We end Torture? " International Day in Support of Victims of Torture 2023.
Nearly four decades on from the adoption of the United Nations Convention against Torture, there is evidence that it is still taking place in all regions of the world, even though it’s a recognized international crime. Listen to independent human rights experts Claude Heller and Suzanne Jabour – the chairpersons of the United Nations Committee against Torture, and the Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture – as they attempt to convince countries to end the practice. Let's strengthen our efforts to prevent all kind of acts of torture. Follow the conversations with the hashtags: #Torture, #26june, #AgainstTorture, #TorturevictimsDay.
The United Nations has repeatedly acknowledged the important role played by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the fight against torture. In addition to lobbying for the establishment of United Nations instruments and monitoring mechanisms, they have made a valuable contribution to their enforcement. Individual experts, including the Special Rapporteur on torture and the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, and treaty monitoring bodies such as the Committee against Torture rely heavily on information brought to their attention by NGOs and individuals.
On June 26th, the OHCHR, the United Nations Committee against torture, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on Torture and other degraded treatments invite you join the Panel discussion to mark the 36 anniversary of the convention and the International Day in support for the Victims of torture 2023 will be held at UNHQ in New York and Geneva.
