Joining us on this June 26 International Day in Support of Victims of Torture episode is Gerald Staberock. Mr. Staberock is Secretary General of the World Organization Against Torture, a coalition of nearly 300 organizations working against torture, summary executions, enforced disappearances and other forms of degrading treatment or punishment. Torture has long been considered a crime against humanity that allows no exception for necessity. Yet we know security forces continue to deploy torture and other forms of cruel pain and suffering to extract confessions or other information, or simply to terrify and dehumanize victims and their families. In this installment of Rule of Law Talk, we discuss what the international community is doing to address this problem, and what more needs to be done.
