Research Handbook on Torture

Legal and Medical Perspectives on Prohibition and Prevention

Research Handbooks in Human Rights series

Edited by Malcolm D. Evans and Jens Modvig

This Research Handbook is of great importance in an era where torture, whilst universally condemned, remains endemic. It explores the nature of the international prohibition of torture and the various means and mechanisms which have been put in place by the international community in an attempt to make that prohibition a reality.
