Stop Torture
The right to be free from torture is one of the most fundamental human rights recognized by the global community. It is UUSC's firm position that any government-sponsored acts of torture under any circumstances are profoundly immoral, unjustified, and illegal. As an organization that promotes human rights, we are committed to bringing such practices to an end.
Ending torture requires putting in place laws and policies that firmly condemn future acts of "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment." It also means confronting past transgressions and helping the survivors of such treatment heal.
UUSC is proud to be partnering with dynamic organizations that are advocating for just policy changes on Capitol Hill, promoting awareness about the practices of torture, and offering direct service to survivors. Learn more about our partners, the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, the Center for Victims of Torture, and theTorture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition.
