Title
After 50 years of global effort to abolish torture, much work remains
Abstract
The 1973 world’s first conference on the abolition of torture drew more than 300 delegates representing over 70 countries and international organizations. It opened with the news that the United Nations General Assembly had passed a resolution condemning torture. More than three-quarters of the world’s nations still engage in torture, which is notoriously difficult to study because it often occurs in secret.
