Description: It is now over a decade since the UN Convention against Torture came into force in 1987. Yet, as testified to so eloquently by human rights organizations, the practice of torture continues. In this wide-ranging volume, some of the world's leading authorities on the subject examine various aspects of the question and assess the positive prospects for change that may now exist.
