World Organization Against Torture
Based in Geneva, OMCT’s International Secretariat

assistance to hundreds of torture victims and

vulnerable people, such human rights defenders. In
the framework of its activities, OMCT also submits
individual communications and alternative reports
to the special mechanisms of the United Nations,
and actively collaborates in the development of
international norms for the protection of human
