Conceptualising rehabilitation as reparation for torture survivors
The right to rehabilitation as a form of reparation is well-established in international law although with respect to torture survivors, it has been insufficiently scoped, conceptually unclear and what it means in practice, has remained partial and ambiguous. This article provides a clinical perspective on the conceptualisation of the right to rehabilitation as a form of reparation for survivors of torture. It explores the nature of rehabilitatio…
