Joint NGO report on Australia to the UN Committee Against Torture
The ALHR supports the Human Rights Law Centre’s report (attached below) provided to the United Nations Committee Against Torture for the Committee’s fifth review of Australia during its 53rd session in November 2014.
The report, titled ‘Torture and cruel treatment in Australia: Joint NGO report to United Nations Committee Against Torture’, examines Australia’s compliance with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The report is intended to inform the Committee’s fifth review of Australia during its 53rd session in November 2014.
The report was prepared by the Human Rights Law Centre with substantial input from a coalition of non-government organisations from across Australia. It is endorsed in whole or in part by 77 NGOs.
