Prohibition of Torture
The BCHR has for years now been focussing on protecting the human rights of persons deprived of liberty and investing major efforts in ensuring compliance with one of the main civilizational legacies – the absolute prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, or the prohibition of ill-treatment for short. This book is intended for judges and prosecutors, criminal defence lawyers, public officials authorised by law to apply force (such as police officers and penitentiary guards) and other state authorities forming the backbone for compliance with this legacy, whose track record enables measuring Serbia’s will and ability to consistently apply jus cogens norms of international customary law that may not be derogated from under any socio-political circumstances.
The publication is available in Serbian.
