Description

"Investigating and Reporting on Torture"

Torture is probably as old as humanity itself. But can the United Nations do more to prevent it? What is the legacy of international efforts to pursue those responsible for torture in apartheid South Africa and Pinochet's Chile? Should the international community ensure that reparations are offered to victims of torture? These are some of the questions explored in this edition of World Chronicle with the help of Theo van Boven, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
