OHCHR Press Conference (Special Rapporteur on Torture)
Press Conference Announcement
"Any use of torture-tainted information, even if the torture has been committed by agents of another State, is an act of acquiescence in torture that compromises the user State’s responsibility and leads to individual and State complicity in acts of torture.”
The Special Rapporteur on torture will talk about his annual report to the Human Rights Council on the use of torture-tainted information and the exclusionary rule in judicial proceedings and in relation to acts by executive actors. The expert will also refer to his report on his 2013 mission to Ghana.
Mr. Juan Méndez, Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
