GQUAL, IRCT, REDRESS, OMCT, ISHR, APT and Amnesty International Concerned by the Continued Lack of Nominations of Women Candidates to the Committee against Torture

The GQUAL Campaign, the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT), REDRESS, the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR), the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) and Amnesty International renew their call on States parties to the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCAT) to nominate and elect qualified and independent candidates to the Committee against Torture (CAT) with a view to achieving gender parity in the composition of the Committee.
