Why Victims of Torture?


Torture is considered an offense to human dignity and integrity and has a huge negative impact on the victims, their families and the society as a whole. In 1991 and 2014 Israel and the Palestinian Authority adopted and ratified the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCAT) respectively. However, both authorities continue to commit human rights violations, including torture, with full impunity; Especially that violations occur when a law, policy or practice deliberately contravenes or ignores obligations held by the State concerned or when the State fails to achieve a required standard of conduct or result.  Additional violations occur when a State withdraws or removes existing human rights protections. All human rights, civil, cultural, economic, political and social impose three distinct types of obligations on governments: obligations to respect protect and fulfill. The failure of a government to perform any of these obligations constitutes a violation of human rights.

The consequences of torture are tremendous. After discharge, victims of torture often exhibit symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, and other debilitating side-effects of the violence and intimidation perpetrated against them. As a result, they are at high risk of carrying out acts of domestic violence against their children or spouses. The cycle of violence could even manifest in other forms that have far reaching and devastating effects that could lead to damaging the social fabric in the long run.

 

We work with victims of torture because we believe that every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Unfortunately, torture is still used as a means of extracting information, punishing dissent, or suppressing opposition in many parts of the world. Survivors of torture often suffer physical and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime, and they often face stigma, discrimination, and even further human rights abuses. By working with victims of torture, we aim to address this humanitarian crisis, support survivors in their healing and rehabilitation, and hold perpetrators of torture accountable for their actions. We also believe that by advocating for the rights of survivors of torture, we are contributing to a more just and peaceful world where human rights are respected, and everyone can live free from fear and oppression.

 

The Center is at the forefront of advocating for policy reforms and raising awareness across all sectors of Palestinian society on the rights of persons to be free from torture, violence and ill-treatment through grassroots campaigns, national conferences and awareness raising workshops. The Center act as public oversight also shares its experience across a number of platforms and provides capacity building to governmental institutions, local and international NGOS, and universities. TRC regularly provides training in human rights, including gender-based violence, to Palestinian institution, including to the Palestinian Security Forces.
