The Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) works for a torture-free world, where the rights and dignity of all persons deprived of liberty are respected. APT’s mission is to lead and support endeavours to prevent torture and ill-treatment. APT focuses on:

• Strengthening legal and policy frameworks so that torture and other forms of ill-treatment are criminalised and safeguards are in place.
• Improving detention practices to reduce the risk of torture and ill-treatment in police custody and increase protection of all detained persons, particularly those in specific situations of vulnerability.
• Strengthening public oversight, through increased transparency in places of detention and a strong and effective OPCAT system.
