Report on implementing OMCT’s Project, Preventing torture and other forms of violence by acting on their economic, social and cultural root causes: 2007 to 2010

Report ESCR 2007-2010
75 pages / 1.25 MB

 
This report describes OMCT’s implementation of the project “Preventing torture and other forms of violence by acting on their economic, social and cultural root causes” during the period 2007 to 2010.
 
The project aimed at preventing torture and other forms of violence (cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, arbitrary detention, summary executions and enforced disappearances) by acting on the root causes found in the failure to respect economic, social and cultural rights. The means used were strengthening national NGOs, expanding the NGO network and, using UN human rights implementation machinery and other means, to address the root causes of violence.
 
The European Union, through the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights, provided substantial support for this project, which was also supported by the Interchurch Organisation for Development Cooperation (ICCO), the Karl Popper Foundation and the Foundation for Human Rights at Work. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (DDC) supported this project in 2007 and 2008.
