Back Joint statement on the occasion of the “United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture”

"70 years on, torture is still widespread: more action needed to achieve a torture-free world for all"
Joint statement on the occasion of the “United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture”

Today, on the occasion of the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, all anti-torture mechanisms of the United Nations and regional mechanisms from Africa, Europe and the Americas stand together to reiterate that torture can never be justified, not even as a measure of last resort. They call with one voice for all acts of torture to be effectively prosecuted and for more action to be taken to prevent such acts from occurring again.
