Turkey

The HRI received funding from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to run a series of workshops to promote the manual 'Combating Torture: A Manual for Judges and Prosecutors' in Ankara in 2004.

The workshop was well attended by judges, magistrates, prosecutors and representatives from the Human Rights Commission and Turkish Bar Associations. Training included practical guidance on dealing with torture and case studies demonstrating the application of international and regional standards.

The main objectives of the workshops were identified as follows:

To introduce participants to the application, enforcement and implementation of the prohibition of torture in domestic, regional and international law
To provide guidance on the role of lawyers and prosecutors when there have been allegations of torture
To provide guidance in how to deal with suspected victims of torture
To raise awareness of torture prevention
