Guest: Laura Blanco, Legal Adviser, Convention against Torture Initiative (CTI), Abdel Wahab Hani, former member, UN Committee Against Torture
Malaysia is one of just 20 countries that has not yet ratified the UN Convention against Torture, despite expressing commitment to do so over the years. What are the obstacles to signing the treaty and how does Malaysia stand to benefit from taking a legally-backed anti-torture stance? We build a case for Malaysia’s accession to the treaty with our expert panel.
