Objetivos This short certificate course gives an overview of human rights obligations of states with regard to torture and ill-treatment. Numerous conventions have been adopted at regional and international level to respond to and prevent the practice of torture and ill-treatment. Alongside with slavery and genocide, the international community has recognised torture and ill-treatment as impermissible at all times and in all circumstances. Its prohibition is absolute and found its way into customary law, binding to all states irrespective of whether they are parties to international treaties codifying the prohibition. Courts and committees have further refined regional and international standards.
