organisations in over 70 countries, making it the largest membership-based civil society organisation to work in the field of torture rehabilitation and prevention. As a membership organisation, IRCT’s members are the focal point for the work of the organisation. Members provide expert knowledge and experience of working with victims of torture in diverse environments. The IRCT Secretariat supports the membership to develop the organisation’s strategy, policy framework and project-led work. IRCT’s work supporting torture victims participating in justice IRCT’s members work within diverse regional, national and local contexts and within varied economic, cultural and political environments. The members offer rehabilitation programmes that are oriented towards different target groups and use various methods to address the effects of torture on individuals, families and communities. All of IRCT’s members featured in this report have extensive experience of assisting torture victims involved in legal proceedings and in particular in identifying and responding to their medical and psychological needs so as to ensure that appropriate psychosocial support is offered and that re-traumatisation through their participation in the legal process is mitigated as much as possible. The 37 members featured in the report come from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East and North Africa region. The rehabilitation centres involved have varied resource capacities and degrees of expertise associated with the provision of psychosocial support to torture victims involved in legal proceedings. Most of IRCT’s members in this report assist torture victims in criminal proceedings against the alleged perpetrator(s) of the torture. A large number of these rehabilitation centres also assist victims involved in civil proceedings (e.g. compensation claims against the state) and administrative proceedings (where the state’s responsibility is being challenged). A small number of the rehabilitation centres have experience supporting torture victims involved in international or regional human rights proceedings, for example before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the European Court for Human Rights (e.g. the members in Turkey and Moldova), the InterAmerican Commission for Human Rights and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), a United Nations-backed Tribunal. 11
