Download or read book Does Torture Prevention Work written by Richard Carver and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past three decades, international and regional human rights bodies have developed an ever-lengthening list of measures that states are required to adopt in order to prevent torture. But do any of these mechanisms actually work? This study is the first systematic analysis of the effectiveness of torture prevention. Primary research was conducted in 16 countries, looking at their experience of torture and prevention mechanisms over a 30-year period. Data was analysed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Prevention measures do work, although some are much more effective than others. Most important of all are the safeguards that should be applied in the first hours and days after a person is taken into custody. Notification of family and access to an independent lawyer and doctor have a significant impact in reducing torture. The investigation and prosecution of torturers and the creation of independent monitoring bodies are also important in reducing torture. An important caveat to the conclusion that prevention works is that is actual practice in police stations and detention centres that matters - not treaties ratified or laws on the statute book.

Download or read book HMIP Detention Monitoring Methodology written by Hindpal Singh Bhui and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This briefing paper is one of a series written as part of an ESRC-IAA funded project on immigration detention and human rights-based monitoring of detention in Greece and Turkey. The project initially looked at these issues in four countries - Greece, Turkey, Hungary and Italy (Bhui, Bosworth and Fili, 2018). This paper outlines the methodology used by HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP), which inspects places of confinement in the UK, including prisons, police and court custody, and military detention. HMIP has been routinely monitoring immigration detention since 2004 (see Bhui 2017). As well as sites of immigration detention HMIP inspects the process of removal by accompanying flights to destination countries. HMIP, which was established in its modern form in 1982, is part of the UK National Preventive Mechanism (NPM). As such, under the terms of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT), it has functional independence and a separate budget. It appoints its own staff and designs its own methodology. HMIP may request information necessary to perform its role, such as numbers of people detained and should be kept informed of locations of all sites of detention. During inspection visits, team members have unhindered, private access to detainees and to staff. Reports of the inspections are usually published within 3-4 months and an annual report is laid before Parliament.
