All you need to know on the process of ratification/accession to UNCAT is made readily available in the CTI UNCAT Ratification Toolkit.
Read about how States prepare to become parties to UNCAT.
This toolkit compiles critical information on the procedures and matters to consider before and upon UNCAT ratification/accession.
It is intended for State officials to be fully aware of why, when and how to sign, ratify or accede to UNCAT, and includes several annexes offering complementary materials answering the most common questions raised by States.
The full toolkit is available here.
Some of the annexes can be accessed separately here:
Other language versions are Arabic (2018 version), Portuguese (2018 version) and French (2020 version).
CTI’s expert team responds confidentially to governments and national institutions, offering one-to-one technical support on a wide range of issues relevant to the implementation of UNCAT – such as police and law enforcement, legislative review and reform, policy drafting, prison reform, complaints, investigations and prosecutions, and redress for victims. We have advised many governments and supported them in taking action on torture prevention, eradication and redress.
