Workshop for East African human rights institutions on implementation of torture prevention standards
The School of Law at the University of Bristol is host to a four-year research project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK, which is examining the role of non-binding ‘soft-law’ documents in the development of international human rights law. In particular, the “Implementation of Human Rights Standards” project (IHRS project) is focusing on the implementation of standards to prohibit and prevent torture in Africa.
A two-day workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya, on 18-19 October 2010, to explore ways in which collaboration between the African Commission and the East African NHRIs could be strengthened and to examine the use and implementation of standards to prevent torture and other ill-treatment.
