Resolution number
3
Whereas
- There is now an optional protocol to the Convention against Torture which provides for on-site visits to detention centres around the world and which is open to signatures by member states;
- This protocol will not come into effect until 20 countries have ratified it and only six have currently ratified it;
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR call upon the Canadian government and urge our sister organizations to ask for other governments to ratify the Optional Protocol of the Convention against Torture so that this can come into effect as soon as possible.
