The concluding remarks in Part 4 of the report summarise the key shortfalls in the early identification
of victims of torture and the use and acceptance of MLRs in asylum procedures. Part 5 lays out the
IRCT´s recommendations to stakeholders working in this field. The key recommendations made in this
report will present a useful starting point for developing further advocacy in this area so as to ensure
that victims of torture are treated appropriately within national asylum procedures.
