How We Work

Know It.

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.

Demand 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.

We train detention monitors, support national preventive mechanisms, and protect human rights defenders. Without independent oversight, prohibitions against torture exist only on paper.
