Submission to the United Nations Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture - Australia
In this joint submission by the Human Rights Law Centre, Change The Record and the NATSILS to the United Nations Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture, we highlight:
1. Jurisdictions where little or no work establishing an OPCAT-compliant oversight mechanism for places of detention has been established;
2. Systemic concerns within and across jurisdictions; and
3. Facilities of particular concern where human rights abuses appear to be systemic, chronic and escalating.
