In response to Special Rapporteur Dr. Alice Edwards’s report, CVT’s Washington Director Scott Roehm co-authored a piece for Just Security about the opportunity to ban torture-based trades and weapons. The authors write, “States’ obligations to prohibit torture and other ill-treatment – both treaty-based and as a matter of customary international law – require them to take proactive steps to prevent torture and other ill-treatment.”
