Torture Reporting Regulations

Torture Reporting Regulations require certain individuals, such as healthcare professionals and government officials, to report any suspected cases of torture or severe mistreatment they encounter. These rules are designed to ensure that abuses are documented and addressed promptly, protecting victims and preventing further harm. The regulations establish procedures for confidential reporting, outline legal and ethical responsibilities, and often specify how to coordinate with relevant authorities. Overall, they aim to ensure accountability, uphold human rights, and provide support for victims of torture by ensuring that abuses are formally recognized and acted upon.
