Scientific symposium: Delivering on the Promise of the Right to Rehabilitation, Mexico City, Mexico
SAVE THE DATE 14 TO 16 MARCH, 2016
.
The IRCT is hosting a global interdisciplinary scientific symposium from 14 to 16 March, 2016 in Mexico City. This is a unique opportunity for the global torture rehabilitation movement to come together to exchange experiences and research on developments in the rehabilitation of survivors of torture. This is the first global event to look in detail across disciplines at how to deliver on the promise of the right to rehabilitation as set out in the Convention against Torture and elaborated in General Comment 3 of the UN Committee against Torture.

Over 140 IRCT member centers from over 70 countries will gather in Mexico City to attend this symposium that will be held in connection with the IRCT General Assembly. We hope that you will be able to join this international gathering.

An open call for abstract submission and registration to the symposium will be launched on our website and other communication channels in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions please contact Leanne MacMillan (lm@irct.org) or Lars Døssing Rosenmeier (ldr@irct.org) of the Research Development team.
