"Torture and Global Efforts to Combat It"
HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
10 DECEMBER 2005.

"Let us be clear: torture can never be an instrument to fight terror, for torture is an instrument of terror. [...]
Today, on Human Rights Day, let us recommit ourselves to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and let us rededicate ourselves to wiping the scourge of torture from the face of the earth."
Kofi Annan,
United Nations Secretary-General.

"Human rights are our common heritage
and their realization depends on the contributions
that each and every one of us is willing to make,
individually and collectively, now and in the future."
Louise Arbour
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
END TORTURE NOW!

The Office for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Library aims to provide comprehensive and efficient information and reference services to OHCHR partners, UN human rights mechanisms and experts, and OHCHR staff. The OHCHR Library serves the international community but is also open to interested professionals outside the Organization (see OHCHR Library rules and regulations for more information).
Its collections cover a wide range of human rights issues either in hard copy or electronic format. The OHCHR Library, which also integrates a resource collection on human rights education and training, is linked with UN and other major libraries and research institutions around the world, providing users with on-line search and reference services.
