Our Story
CCVT is a non-profit, registered charitable organization. Founded in 1977, it was incorporated in 1983. CCVT is the second-oldest centre of its kind in the world.
Torture is not a modern day phenomenon; it has been practiced almost from the beginning of civilization. Torture is now illegal under both national and international law.
There are United Nations agreements dealing specifically with torture. (The United Nations Convention Against Torture came into force on June 26, 1987). Even so, modern day torture is widespread and systematically practiced in two-thirds of the countries in the world. Torture is used to intimidate, punish and control a population. It is a form of punishment, a means of coercion and results in the degradation and dehumanization of individuals and the disenfranchisement of the population. It is used to suppress dissent and generally takes place within a context of tyranny, political violence and repression.
