The World Organisation Against Torture held the first in a series of Complaints Workshops on 10-12 July 2007 at the OMCT Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. The Workshop gathered human rights advocates from around the world (Burundi, Togo, Benin, Zambia, Tunisia, Sudan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and the Philippines) for an intensive 3-day training session focussing on the individual complaints procedures of the UN Treaty Bodies and strategies for successful litigation of torture cases.
Taking full advantage of OMCT’s location in Geneva, participants benefited from the contributions of leading experts in the field of human rights including academics, practitioners, UN personnel and OMCT staff. The trainings were based on Volume 4 of the OMCT Handbook Series: Seeking Remedies for Torture Victims: A Handbook on the Individual Complaints Procedures of the UN Treaty Bodies.
OMCT will hold 3 other complaints workshops 2007 – 2008.
