Submission to CAT regarding Revised General Comment on implementation of Article 3

REDRESS, in collaboration with eight human rights organisations, has submitted joint observations on the revised General Comment No. 1 (2017) on the implementation of Article 3 of the Convention Against Torture, which enshrines the prohibition of refoulement. The revised General Comment will be a critically important tool for States parties in implementing Article 3, by providing guidance on the full scope of their obligations in relation to the prohibition of removing persons to States where they risk torture or other prohibited treatment.
