Introduction
In November 2013, the APT hosted a group of experts to consider the
practical and legal implications for the sharing and use of torturetainted information by executive agencies. Experts were asked to
consider whether and how standards for the use of information
obtained by torture could be adopted, to appropriately guide this
challenging aspect of State behaviour to comply with any applicable
international standards. The meeting was held under the auspices
of the Chatham House Rule and this report follows the arguments
presented at the meeting.
