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. Acknowledgements This report would not have been possible without the valuable input of the member centres who responded to the IRCT´s questionnaire. The IRCT is grateful for the responses to the questionnaire, and the additional comments and input to the report given by member centre staff and by Dr Jonathan Benyon.
