The United Against Torture Consortium (UATC) operates at a time of mounting global challenges. As conflicts proliferate, authoritarianism rises, and civic space continues to shrink, torture and other forms of ill-treatment remain a persistent reality despite their absolute prohibition under international law. From 2023 to 2026, the UATC worked to confront these challenges by strengthening prevention, protection, accountability, justice, reparation, and rehabilitation efforts, while supporting survivors and the organisations that stand alongside them. This Impact Report highlights the difference that coordinated action can make. Bringing together six leading anti-torture organisations and a network of partners across 123 countries, the UATC has combined expertise, resources, and survivor-led approaches to respond to crises, challenge impunity, and drive long-term change. The achievements presented in these pages demonstrate how collective action is strengthening the global movement against torture and helping to build a future where survivors' rights are upheld and torture and other ill-treatment are prevented everywhere.

This Casebook presents significant legal challenges brought before UK courts and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) involving the UK. It does not attempt to provide an exhaustive overview of all UK cases concerning torture or other ill-treatment. It highlights a curated selection of cases that demonstrate how litigation has shaped the interpretation and application of the UK’s obligations under both domestic and international law, and how it has contributed to the development of legal standards aimed at preventing and responding to torture and other ill-treatment. The Casebook aims to offer a practical and accessible resource for those working in the UK and internationally to support litigation, policy reform, and strengthen protections against torture.
