Torture Destroys Us All is an ongoing campaign for a torture-free world. The purpose of the campaign is threefold: (1) to join the world in commemorating the ratification of the U.N. Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the suffering and courage of torture victims and survivors worldwide; (2) to encourage people in the United States to take a bold stand in condemnation of torture and; (3) to hold our government accountable for its human rights practices.
