The tools have been developed with the assistance of the University of Bristol Law School's Human Rights Implementation Centre and draw on existing good State practice from around the world to offer practical guidance and ideas for State practitioners and policymakers to effectively implement UNCAT. The first tools to be launched focus on the following themes:
· developing national torture prevention strategies;
· safeguards in the first hours of police custody; and
· non-coercive investigative interviewing.
Additional tools will be developed and made available in due course.
