This report aims to summarize the discussion among OSCE participating States and to formulate recommendations in order to further advance the effective implementation of the right to full rehabilitation for torture victims in the OSCE region. Launch of ODIHR/CTI Practical Tool During the same workshop, ODIHR and the CTI launched a joint tool to help OSCE participating States better ensure the right to rehabilitation for victims of torture. The practical tool, Providing Rehabilitation to Victims of Torture and Other Ill-treatment,8 provides an overview of how a number of states have implemented the right to rehabilitation through a collection of practices, supplemented with experiences from non-state rehabilitation providers. The implementation tool was designed to assist participating States in their efforts to fully implement the right to rehabilitation of each torture survivor in the OSCE region and is available in English and Russian.9 “OSCE participating States have committed to fighting and preventing torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Giving full support to comprehensive, victimcentred and long-term rehabilitation services is a core obligation of states. We hope that the implementation tool will assist participating States in their efforts to fully implement the right to rehabilitation of each survivor of torture in the OSCE region, and thereby enable them to regain their dignity as human beings.” Stephanie Selg, ODIHR Adviser on Torture Prevention Throughout the workshop, the ODIHR/CTI Practical Tool was used as a basis for discussion and to illustrate promising practices from the OSCE region and beyond. “Assisting torture survivors in recovering from their trauma and re-starting their lives in peace allows not only the individual, but also families, communities and societies to heal and rebuild. In capturing 20 positive examples of state-led or supported rehabilitation practices, we hope the latest in CTI’s series of implementation tools will inspire governments worldwide to consider adopting similar arrangements tailored to their own national contexts.” Alice Edwards, Head of Secretariat of the Convention against Torture Initiative (CTI) 8 9 Op. cit., note 2 https://www.cti2024.org/en/news/cti-osce-tool-focuses-on-victim-rehabilitation/ 6
