We raise awareness of the UN Convention Against Torture and international human rights law among governments, institutions, and citizens. Knowing the law is the foundation of demanding it.

We lobby the United Nations, national parliaments, and regional bodies to ratify and implement OPCAT and anti-torture obligations. Pressure from coalitions changes legislation and practice.
Defend It.
