As the world commemorates the United Nations Day in Support of Victims of Torture, the Refugee Law Project (RLP) invites you to join a timely and important discussion under the global theme:
“Taking stock of the successes and challenges met in the protection and promotion of the freedom from torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment or punishment.”
