NPM Obs wants "Preventing Torture" to become a major platform for all those who want to address precise issues of torture prevention.

Any subscriber is welcome to contribute to "Preventing Torture", including

• Members and staff of National Preventive Mechanisms Against Torture (NPMs)
• Members and staff of international bodies in charge of torture prevention such as the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT), the UN-Subcommittee for Prevention of Torture (SPT) the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT), the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), etc.
• Individual staff members or official representatives of institutions who are in charge of persons that are or can be deprived of their liberty, such as prison staff, police officers, staff of social care homes, of centres for migrants, of psychiatric institutions, etc.

Publications are for free, but they are not paid.

The Editorial Board will respond to each contributor.

Please remember that we want contributors to help us all think on how to improve the prevention of ill-treatment and torture. This site is not for merely complaining or naming and shaming.

Contributions can be sent in English, French, German or Spanish.
