Case Digests: UN Committee against Torture, November 2008 and May 2009

The Open Society Justice Initiative has prepared short summaries of the decisions and views which the UN Committee against Torture took on individual communications at its 41st and 42nd sessions, held respectively in November 2008 and May 2009.

These summaries, including links to the original decisions, are part of our Case Watch series, which we produce in a bid to make decisions of the global human rights tribunals accessible to the widest possible audience.

We also continue to add to our Case Watch reports, in which our lawyers explore the legal implications of individual tribunal rulings more closely, with a particular focus on the European Court of Human Rights.
