Conference announcement

Baloch Unity Conference (UK) announcement to mark of International Torture Day 26 June. Conference Title:

‘Inhuman torture on Baloch Political activist in Pakistani torture cell’

Convention against Torture

The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) sets out in clear language the nature of torture. It also defines the obligations of governments to prevent, to prosecute those responsible for the crime, to provide training and education, and to ensure generous redress and rehabilitation for victims of torture.



Prohibition against torture is absolute, states the Convention. No "exceptional circumstances", including state of emergency, war, or an order from a public authority, can justify it.



The Convention strengthens the existing prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by providing for several forms of international supervision of countries' compliance with the Convention.



Countries that are parties to the Convention must prevent and punish acts of torture as the Convention defines it. But they must also prevent and punish other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, when such acts are committed by, at the instigation of, or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.



We welcome to Human Rights Activists, Journalists, Political Activists, Students and supporter to join this event.
