Legal frameworks for torture survivors

Legal frameworks for torture survivors establish protections and support systems to prevent abuse and aid recovery. International laws, like the UN Convention Against Torture, prohibit torture and require countries to investigate and prosecute such acts. National laws often provide avenues for survivors to seek justice, access medical and psychological care, and receive compensation. These frameworks aim to hold perpetrators accountable and ensure survivors' rights are protected, recognizing torture as a serious violation of human rights. They also set standards for humane treatment and support, fostering an environment that promotes healing and prevents future abuses.
