United Nations Committee Against Torture

The United Nations Committee Against Torture is a group of international experts that monitors how countries prevent and address torture and cruel treatment. Countries that agree to the Convention Against Torture submit regular reports detailing their efforts and challenges. The Committee reviews these reports, asks questions, and offers recommendations to improve human rights protections. Its goal is to ensure that governments uphold standards against torture, hold perpetrators accountable, and promote humane treatment for all individuals.
