Abstract
The right to freedom from torture and other forms of ill-treatment enjoys a high level of protection in international human rights law and falls into a group of the so-called absolute or non-derogable rights, which are exercised with no deviations or exceptions. Given the significance of the prohibition against torture, the provisions of the United Nations Convention against torture about the prosecution of those who engaged in the acts of torture are of manifold importance. The UN Convention against torture is the first international human rights instrument binding upon Member States, requiring them to establish universal jurisdiction over all cases where the alleged perpetrator of the acts of torture resides in the territory under their control. This paper analyzes the Convention's most important provisions concerning the issues of jurisdiction and prosecution of those carrying out torture.
