National and international remedies for torture

2005Redress

Torture survivors and those acting on their behalf face serious obstacles in accessing justice in Sudan. This has been recognised by reports issued by official bodies and nongovernmental organisations1 and was affirmed in a October 2004 legal training workshop in Khartoum, co-organised by the Sudanese Organisation against Torture (SOAT), the Khartoum Centre for Human Rights and Economic Development and REDRESS. The workshop brought together lawyers, civil society representatives, human rights organisations from different regions of Sudan, as well as representatives from the Judiciary, Ministry of Justice, police and military to discuss strategies and options for improving access to justice for survivors of torture and other serious international crimes.
