Adalah, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights are pleased to announce the publication of our journal, “On Torture”. “On Torture” is an edited volume of essays by Palestinian, Israeli and international legal and medical experts and practitioners based on presentations that they gave during a workshop held in Jerusalem in April 2011 entitled, “Securing Accountability for Torture and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment (CIDT) in Israel: New Trends and Comparative Lessons”.
