anti-torture conventions

Anti-torture conventions are international agreements that prohibit the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. They set clear standards for governments to protect human dignity, mandate legal safeguards for detainees, and establish accountability for violations. These conventions aim to prevent abuse in detention facilities worldwide, promote universal human rights, and ensure that individuals are treated with respect and fairness under the law. They emphasize that torture is never justified, regardless of circumstances, and call for effective measures to eliminate such practices globally.
