A three-day webinar for judges on the topic “Prohibition of Torture: International Standards and Judicial Practice”

A three-day webinar for judges on the topic “Prohibition of Torture: International Standards and Judicial Practice” has been concluded in Dushanbe.

Over the course of three days, judges of the Republic of Tajikistan, together with international expert R.N. Mamyrbayev—former Judge of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Candidate of Legal Sciences, and State Counsellor, Class III—examined contemporary international standards concerning the absolute prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The participants also explored the practical application of these standards in judicial proceedings and discussed current issues related to the implementation of international obligations into the national legal system.

Particular attention was given to the application of the provisions of the United Nations Convention against Torture, as well as to international and national judicial practice, standards for evaluating evidence in torture cases, ensuring effective investigations of such crimes, and the role of the judiciary in preventing human rights violations.

During the webinar, participants analyzed practical case studies, exchanged professional experience, and discussed current challenges related to ensuring effective judicial protection against torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.

This project is implemented with the support of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Dushanbe.
