United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture
Saturday 26 June is the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. It provides a time to reflect on the past, to honour the victims and survivors of torture and to look to a better future.
Forced Migration Online’s resource page on the subject highlights a number of key online information sources relating to torture, organized under the following headings:
- International Day in Support of Victims of Torture
- International Conventions
- Investigation and Reporting of Torture
It also features a selection of full-text documents, web-based resources, and descriptions of relevant organizations available through FMO that focus on torture-related issues.
This year, the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims also has a useful map of observations taking place around the world.
