"Anti-torture" refers to the efforts and laws aimed at preventing the practice of torture, which is the infliction of severe pain or suffering for purposes such as punishment, coercion, or intimidation. Various international agreements, like the United Nations Convention Against Torture, seek to protect individuals from such inhumane treatment. These laws emphasize the importance of human rights and dignity. Organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, work to raise awareness about torture and advocate for victims. They monitor governments and report on abuses, pushing for accountability and reforms. The goal is to create a world where torture is universally condemned and eradicated.
