The United Nations General Assembly declared June 26 as the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture in 1997 (Resolution 52/149). This day serves as a reminder of the urgent need to eliminate torture and ensure the proper implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
On this day, stakeholders including UN Member States, civil society organizations, and individuals worldwide are urged to come together in solidarity.
