Project working to enable wider implementation of the ‘Mendez Principles’ of effective interviewing, ending cruel and inhumane practices that have adversely affected so many lives through unethical interrogations
Relying on multi-sectoral engagement, specialized global expertise and practical experiences of law, health and human rights professionals in the field, including members of United Nations anti-torture mechanisms, the updated edition seeks to fortify the implementation of international norms and preventive tools to assist survivors of torture worldwide. The Istanbul Protocol and the accompanying “Istanbul Principles” also serve as a global standard against which the delivery of expert legal and medical evidence can be benchmarked in the investigation and prevention of torture. The Istanbul Protocol should appeal to a wide variety of stakeholders, including States, civil society, doctors, psychologists, social workers, lawyers, forensic specialists, asylum officers, human rights officers and many others.
This College of Policing guidance report contains a set of guidelines on eliciting victim and witness initial (first) accounts. The guidelines are designed to improve the accuracy and quantity of information provided by witnesses and victims in their first account to the police. A victim is also a witness, and the term ‘witness’ is used throughout the guidance to refer to both.
Grounded in science, law and ethics, the Principles propose a concrete alternative to interrogation methods that rely on coercion to extract confessions. They provide guidance on obtaining accurate and reliable information in full respect of the human rights and dignity of all, including through the implementation of legal and procedural safeguards in the first hours of police custody. The principles aim to transform the relationship between States and their citizens. They are intended to change how public authorities conduct interviewing and as a result improve trust in the State.
The unveiling of the Mendez Principles on Effective Interviewing and evolution to science-based methods to protect Human Rights, promote the Rule Of Law and improving the practice of global policing and for national security professionals.
This manual outlines international standards and best practices for non-coercive interrogation, emphasizing the importance of ethical and effective methods in criminal investigations.
The science of interviewing and interrogation has continuously evolved since World War II, through the contributions by experts from around the world, from different legal systems and traditions. But the broader impact of unscientific, ineffective or counter-productive interviewing and interrogation remains profound. Indeed, coercive techniques are still used in many countries even if such practices are criminalized or prohibited under international law. Torture remains a significant problem in fact-finding
