Council Members of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT), representing health professionals who care for victims and survivors of torture throughout the world, gathered at the Annual Council Meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, 27 and 28 March 2014,
Bearing in mind that
Torture and ill-treatment constitute one of the gravest human rights violations worldwide;
Most cases of torture and ill-treatment in the world occur in a detention setting and people deprived of liberty, whether in open or closed spaces, are especially vulnerable to mistreatment;
Women in detention are subject to gender-based violence amounting to torture and ill-treatment, and some individuals are particularly exposed to acts of torture and ill-treatment on the grounds of their sexual orientation and identity, ethnic origins, religious beliefs, age or disability, amongst others;
Many legal and administrative practices of detention may themselves amount to or increase the risk of torture and ill-treatment in detention as well as enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings;
Observing that:
States are obliged to care for and protect people who are within their custody or control;
States are responsible for prohibiting, preventing, and redressing torture and ill-treatment in all contexts of detention;
All victims of torture and ill-treatment have a right to effective remedies at all times, whether in detention or at liberty, including rehabilitation, reparations, and non-repetition;
Page 2 of 7
Identification of victims of torture and ill-treatment in detention assists in the recognition and cessation of any ongoing torture and ill-treatment practices;
Investigation and documentation of torture and ill-treatment in detention in accordance with the Istanbul Protocol sheds light on and builds understanding of the practices and effects of torture and ill-treatment in detention;
National preventive mechanisms and administrative procedures of detention, including judicial oversight, registration and in-take medical examinations, are effective tools to addressing and preventing torture and ill-treatment;
Declare that:
Identification of victims of torture and ill-treatment is a prerequisite to addressing torture and ill-treatment in detention and rehabilitating victims;
Investigation and documentation of torture and ill-treatment in accordance with the Istanbul Protocol is important for fighting impunity, ensuring rehabilitation and reparations for victims, as well as preventing torture and ill-treatment in detention;
Access to independent civil society monitoring is an essential mechanism to ensure impartial and objective functioning of state institutions, as well as complementing and facilitating effective functioning of national preventive mechanisms;
And urgently call upon States to: Ensure that victims of torture and ill-treatment are identified as early as possible in detention settings and have access to treatment and rehabilitation services at all times;
Ensure that effective oversight and complaints mechanisms exist to which all allegations of torture and ill-treatment are reported, guaranteeing independent functioning of national preventive mechanisms;
Ensure that civil society institutions operate in an independent and effective manner in monitoring of all places of detention and in providing treatment and rehabilitation to all victims of torture and ill-treatment;

Suspect Practices:
