For NGOs: Submit info to the Special Rapporteur on Torture
OMCT has been informed by the office of the United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Torture that his next report to the UN General Assembly will focus on the conditions of detention of groups in need of special attention. This includes minors, women, migrants, minorities, death row prisoners, persons with disabilities, individuals living with HIV/ AIDS, LGBT, etc. This list is not exhaustive.
Type of information expected: general feedback and recommendations, good practices, country situation (if there has been a country visit by the Special Rapporteur) and specific cases (although in order for the cases to be taken into account in the report, it should be sent ASAP to the Special Rapporteur’s office).
If you wish to contribute to this report, please send relevant information to Ms. Birgit Kainz, Assistant to the Special Rapporteur at BKainz@ohchr.org by June 2009.
