Special Fund of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against
Torture
The 2016 Call
for Applications is currently open. The deadline is 16 October 2015. No
applications are further received.
“Beyond
the practical significance of projects funded by the Special Fund, the Special
Fund is also important as it shows that preventive work through the OPCAT can
be quickly translated into real, practical and tangible protections and
improvements for those at risk of ill-treatment whilst in detention.” – Malcolm
Evans, SPT Chairperson.
Established
by article 26 of the Optional Protocol
on the Prevention of Torture (OPCAT), the OPCAT Special Fund is the
only fund established by an international human rights treaty currently in
operation and serves as a model for engagement between the United Nations,
State Parties, National Preventive Mechanisms and civil society in the
prevention of torture. Since 2012, it has supported the implementation of the
recommendations made by the Subcommittee on
Prevention of Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment (SPT) following a visit to the State party to OPCAT.
The Fund
receives voluntary contributions from governments, intergovernmental and
non-governmental organizations and other private or public entities. See how
to contribute for more information. It reports
on its activities annually to the General Assembly and the Human Rights
Council.
Since its
establishment, the Fund has contributed concretely to the prevention of torture
in a variety of countries. It does so by awarding grants to projects that are
sustainable, lay foundations for change and have a potential for replication.
Support has, for example, been provided to strengthening of national preventive
mechanisms (NPMs), training on torture prevention for personnel of relevant
national institutions and the design and production of detention and police
registers, manuals, handbooks and training courses.
Beneficiaries
of the Fund have included:
- Children
and juveniles in detention in Benin by developing a system of visits to
the places of detention and training of juvenile judges.
- Detainees
in Mexico through awareness-raising and training of police and
penitentiary staff on torture prevention methodologies.
- Migrants
in detention in the Maldives by translating and disseminating leaflets
about their rights in their languages.
- Detainees
from indigenous communities in Paraguay, through the translation of
information on their rights as detainees into Guarani, an
indigenous language.
Supporting
projects of up to US
$25,000, a call for applications is issued every year
for projects to be implemented the following year. Please consult the Call
for Applications page for more information on submitting projects to
the Fund.
For more information about any of the above, please consult the links in the right-hand column or contact the Secretary of the Special Fund on opcat@ohchr.org.
