THEMATIC REPORT 2017 REDRESS AND REPARATIONS It is important to note that states have a responsibility to collect data to demonstrate that they are fully implementing their obligations under the UN Convention against Torture. state-run rehabilitation services. To date there is also little indication that they are allocating the sufficient budgetary resources needed to establish the infrastructure to provide rehabilitation services of an acceptable quality. This is illustrated by the numbers of victims that the IRCT member centres treat and the lack of alternative rehabilitation services available to these victims through the state. It is important to note in relation to this report that states have a responsibility to collect data to demonstrate that they are fully implementing their obligations under the UN Convention against Torture (UNCAT). For example, states are required to collect data on the number of complaints about torture or ill-treatment they receive, the number of torture victims who have accessed mechanisms and have obtained redress and reparation, including the amounts. States are also expected to collect data on the number of torture victims who have sought compensation, been awarded compensation, received rehabilitation services and on the rehabilitation facilities available and budget allocated to these services.44 The majority of states do not collect sufficient data to show the full extent of torture and the availability and accessibility of redress and reparations mechanisms to torture victims. This makes it even more vital that the IRCT’s member centres collect data which enables them to provide valuable, evidencebased information on the extent of torture in their country and its effects on the individual victims as well as the extent to which obligations to investigate, prosecute and convict perpetrators and to provide reparations, including rehabilitation, are being implemented by the state. In so doing, IRCT member centres are able to call states to account in their own human rights work at national, regional or global level. page 45
