Evaluation Report - Torture Rehabilitation Centres - November 2003
MEDE European Consultancy in partnership with the Netherlands Humanist Committee on Human Rights And The Danish Institute for Human Rights.
In the past few years the European Commission has gradually shifted the focus of its financial support for rehabilitation centres for victims of torture, through the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR), to prevention of torture initiatives. The rehabilitation centres for victims of torture, however, have argued that the distinction between rehabilitation and prevention is artificial and that a reduction of funding for rehabilitation activities will have an adverse effect on the prevention of torture. For that reason, EIDHR wished to evaluate torture rehabilitation programmes in order to assess the effectiveness and impact of those programmes in relation to the argument that the work of torture rehabilitation centres contributes towards the prevention of torture.Read the report here

"Guidelines on human rights and the fight against terrorism" (2002).
The guidelines reaffirm states' obligation to protect everyone against terrorism, and reiterate the need to avoid arbitrariness. They also stress that all measures taken by states to combat terrorism must be lawful, and that torture must be prohibited. The framework set out in the guidelines concerns, in particular, the collecting and processing of personal data, measures which interfere with privacy, arrest, police custody and pre-trial detention, legal proceedings, extradition and compensation of victims.Available from Council of Europe Publishing
