Regarding the prevention and investigation of incidents of torture,
one of the most urgent problems has long been the absence of
internationally acknowledged guidelines for their effective and
thorough documentation. Initiated by the Turkish Medical
Association, the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey and the
Physicians for Human Rights USA, and with the joint effort of more
than 75 experts from different fields, representing 40
organizations in 15 countries, those guidelines were developed and
finally published in 1999 as the Istanbul Protocol: Manual on the
Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other
Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Within one
year, the Protocol was adopted by the UN General Assembly and the
UN Human Rights Committee and in 2004 it was published as part of
the UN's Professional Training Series. This second volume of the
book series Medicine and Human Rights offers for the first time a
complete German translation of this important document. It contains
background information regarding legal and ethical issues as well
as general considerations for conducting an investigation. Two
comprehensive chapters and four annexes deal with the physical and
psychological consequences of torture and their diagnosis. The
volume is completed by an account comprising the history of the
protocol and its current usage in the European context. German
text.
