ICCL Submission to the Government’s Consultation on its Sixth Report under the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (December 2007)

The present submission focuses on a number of key areas in respect of which the ICCL believes the CPT should consider making use of its powers under the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, namely: the legal position of detainees in police custody; combating impunity; training of law enforcement personnel and the treatment of foreign nationals detained under aliens legislation.
