An Anti-Torture Ombudsman is an independent official or organization responsible for monitoring, investigating, and addressing allegations of torture and cruel treatment by authorities. This role aims to ensure that individuals' rights are protected, especially in places like prisons or detention centers. The Ombudsman checks compliance with human rights laws, provides support to torture victims, and recommends improvements to prevent future abuses. By serving as a watchdog, the Anti-Torture Ombudsman helps promote accountability, transparency, and respect for human dignity within government institutions.
