BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial International efforts to combat torture and inhuman treatment : have the new mechanisms improved protection? / Bank, Roland REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): European journal of international law [EJIL] = Journal européen de droit international : vol. 8; no. 4., p. 613-637. - München : C. H. Beck, 1997. - ISSN 00938-5428 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: I. INTRODUCTION:. During the last decade, the United Nations and the Council of Europe have increased their efforts to combat torture and other forms of inhuman treatment through the introduction of special mechanisms. In 1985, the UN Commission on Human Rights appointed a Special Rapporteur on Torture to take account of and investigate reports of torture. With an eye to effectiveness, the conditions of appointment leave the Special Rapporteur unhindered by set procedures. In 1987, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) entered into force and was simultaneously backed up by the establishment of the Committee against Torture (CAT), a task force set up to oversee implementation of the Convention. In 1989, member states of the Council of Europe, acting through the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (ECPT), established the Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) and assigned it the task of visiting states parties and inspecting places of detention.2 Given that these organs have been in operation for at least seven, and as many as eleven years, the question arises as to whether they have led to increased protection for detainees and, if so, which among them have contributed more significantly to this end. In order to answer these questions, it will be necessary to (i) examine the legal and operational parameters within which (or in spite of which) the various agencies seek to achieve practical results; and (ii) compare the performance of the various agencies in those countries where each has been active. Examination of these issues will also take account of the activities of the already existing agencies, especially those working in relation to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In this way, we may gain an idea of whether and, if so, to what extent to which the work of the various agencies overlap. This accomplished, the article will examine whether progress has been made through the activities of the new agencies (and which in particular), and conclusions will be drawn as to how improvements in the overall effectiveness of the agencies' work can be achieved. 1 * Jean Monnet Fellow, European Forum, European University Institute.

The lack of substantial references to international law in the Court‘s reasoning was notable. The present article examines the possible reasons for the reluctance to introduce international law and goes on to analyse the effects of this reluctance. The analysis finds that the reasons for leaving international human rights norms out are less than compelling and that keeping the necessity defence for interrogators using force against detainees leaves a substantial risk of abuse.The article goes on to place the judgement in the larger context of Israeli human rights practices. By applying the so-called ‘spiral model’, developed within international relations theory, it is possible to examine linkages between international norms and domestic change. The model allows for an evaluation of what progress has been achieved so far and for suggestions as to which measures are still needed. It is found that the judgement reasonably can be interpreted as a tactical concession and that further progress in efforts to eradicate the use of force against detainees is dependent upon a change in the attitude of the Israeli public. Future efforts should thus be aimed at influencing Israeli public opinion to ensure that torture is eliminated from Israeli interrogation practices. INDEX WORDS:
