We advocate for policy change to bring about an end to the death penalty, torture, unlawful detention, and unlawful lethal drone strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All too often, Governments which oppose these abuses in principle end up enabling them in practice – for example by supporting death penalty prosecutions overseas or sharing intelligence obtained under torture. We work with policy-makers and legislators to help end these abuses, and ensure Governments uphold their commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
