Description
Tackling Torture Prevention in Practice by Malcolm D. Evans provides a frank account of the international efforts to prevent torture, drawing on over ten years' experience as Chair of the UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture. The book challenges assumptions about torture's root causes and calls for what is needed to bring about change. It sets out what is really happening around the world in terms of torture prevention under international law, highlighting both the remarkable capacities of this system and its limitations. Evans offers a balanced view of the complexities surrounding torture prevention, making this work an important contribution to the discussion on human rights and international law.
