Abstract:
Issues connected with protection against tortures or other forms of inhuman or degrading treatment are regulated in the European law not only in The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, but also in The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which was adopted by The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on June 26, 1987 and later ratified by all 47 countries of The Council of Europe. It is a key element in amending the control system. It has been agreed that the system based on individual and international pleas should be supported by preventive measures. Various situations in which the state has serious obligations so as to protect art. 3 of the Convention, take place following criminal proceedings by organs entitled to act according to legislation. It ought to be mentioned that despite our country’s ratification of the above mentioned legal acts, while conducting pre-trial proceedings in criminal cases, the violation of basic human rights and inhumane treatment of the suspects or the accused happen the most often. The state is responsible for securing proper conditions that would grant respect for one’s dignity and the procedures and methods of obtaining incriminating evidence are not to cause suffering whose scale and intensity would surpass needs of personal security of the accused or suspects during the proceedings in criminal trials, with respect to the legal procedures regulating the arrest and the use of preventative measures in form of a detention order.

Abstract:
In October 2000 an informal working group of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights met to discuss the latest drafts of an Optional Protocol to the 1984 United Nations Convention against Torture. The Working Group itself met for its 9th session in February 2001 and its 10th session was held in January 2002.2 The primary purpose of this Optional Protocol is to create a new international mechanism that will have a preventive role and which would operate by conducting visits to states and to places of detention within states and, in the light of such visits, enter into a ‘dialogue’ with the state concerned in order to help them ensure that torture does not occur. The origins of this initiative lie in a proposal formally tabled in the early 1980s during the negotiations that led up to the adoption of the UNCAT itself but at that time it was clear that so radical a move as the establishment of an international body with an automatic right of entry into any place of detention would be unacceptable within the broader international community.3 However, the idea was taken up on a regional level within Europe and in 1987 the Council of Europe adopted the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment which established the European Committee of the same name (known as the CPT), very much by way of an example to the rest of the world, or so it was thought.4

Abstract:
The article substantiates perspective directions for improvement of legal and social protection of the personnel of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine taking into account positive foreign experience, namely: 1) compliance with the requirements of international standards on the formation and competencies of penitentiary staff. Such standards include: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948); Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950); Basic Principles of the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials (1990); Minimum Standard Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Mandela Rules) (2015); European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1987); European Penitentiary Rules (2006 as amended in 2020); 2) overcoming the phenomenon of discrimination (on any grounds) in the implementation of personnel policy in the penitentiary system; 3) ensuring compliance between the conditions of service of penitentiary staff (taking into account the risks, responsibilities and stressful situations associated with the performance of official duties) and the level of wages, which should ensure a decent standard of living for employees and their families; 4) increasing the safety of the staff of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine as a guarantee of their normal work, which ensures non-interference in the work of staff during the performance of their duties. It is noted that the safety of the staff of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine is a guarantee of their normal work and ensures non-interference in the work of staff in the performance of their duties. Negative events in the penitentiary system of Ukraine have highlighted that the problem of ensuring the safety of personnel of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine requires detailed study to develop effective ways to overcome existing problems, taking into account the experience of foreign countries and their ability to achieve positive results on this issue.

Abstract:
The article examines the activities of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment to protect the rights of persons deprived of their liberty. An analysis of the Committee's reports on the results of visits to Ukraine was made. Standards for the prevention of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as well as their reflection in national criminal law enforcement and enforcement, have been identified. Thus, the role of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in the protection of the rights of persons deprived of their liberty and the impact of its recommendations on amendments to the criminal executive legislation of Ukraine have been identified. The Committee's activities are aimed at strengthening the protection of persons deprived of their liberty against torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Based on the principle of cooperation and obligations under the Convention, the state is gradually introducing changes to national legislation in order to bring them into line with international standards. In general, there are positive changes and improvements in the conditions of detention of convicts.

The International Committee of the Red Cross welcomes all attempts to strengthen the protection against torture of persons deprived of their freedom. It therefore welcomes the adoption of the European Convention for the prevention of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, which should enable an effective system of control to be established for the prevention and elimination of such inhuman practices in the member countries of the Council of Europe that may have ratified the Convention.

Abstract:
Introduction. The article reveals the inconsistency of the tendency in the international media space to question the universal principles of international law on the example of the discussion on the preservation of the provision of protection against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment of people in the context of global terrorist threats. The activity of international governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the fight against torture is analyzed. The main emphasis is placed on the peculiarities and law enforcement practice of international legal legislation in the area of prohibition of the use of torture. Problems related to the prevention and spread of torture are studied, the dynamics of the development of national legislation in some states regarding the legalization of torture is examined, an example of violation of the prohibition of torture is given, as well as the position of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the use of torture.Materials and methods. The author of the article carries out a systematic analysis, comparative and formal legal methods of international legislation against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Scientific and general scientific methods of cognition of the specifics of international legal legislation in the field of prohibition of the use of torture and the death penalty as a capital punishment, - namely descriptive, - are applied in this article.Results. For several decades, a system of international law has been created, which has given an interpretation of the concept of "torture", has introduced a complete ban on the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The prohibition of torture is absolute. Torture is prohibited by international law, the laws of most countries in the world, the UN Convention against Torture, the Geneva Conventions and other international documents. This prohibition is absolute and does not allow any exceptions, which, however, is not always the case, giving rise to national and world media outlets to intensify discussions on the admissibility of revising these norms of international law in the interests of countering terrorist threats.Discussion and Conclusion. Despite the development of legislation in the field of combating torture, there are a number of problems of compliance with this norm of international law. Among them: the problem of defining the concept of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", the problem of violation of international legal acts in this area, the ethical factor in the use of torture and others. An important problem is the issue of classifying the death penalty as the highest measure of torture and punishment, discussions about which will continue for a long time. In this situation, the important priority areas of the UN and other international organizations are the fight against the use of torture, the call for the introduction of a complete ban on torture, the strengthening of guarantees of the rights of citizens to be protected from them or the right to humanitarian, economic and psychological assistance in the event of torture in relation to him, encouraging the conduct of awareness-raising activities at the civil level, explaining their unconditional legislative prohibition, immorality and inhumanity. An important task for all states is to continue work to achieve a universal and complete prohibition of torture, protect the rights of citizens and build an inclusive, multilateral and trusting dialogue between all states, members of international organizations, as well as its provision at the federal, regional and local levels with the use of information and communication media policy tools and with the participation of the entire civil society.

Abstract:
The Council of Europe represents the main regional/European international intergovernmental organization in which the most efficient mechanisms for guaranteeing and protecting human rights have been initiated and developed.The mechanisms implemented by this organization, aiming to protect and guarantee human rights, established through the conventional judicial tools adopted by the Council of Europe are: The European Court for Human Rights (jurisdictional mechanism), established by the European Convention on Human Rights, the conventional non-jurisdictional mechanisms for monitoring, as well as the system of regularly reporting and that of the collective complaints, employed by the European Committee for social rights, created based on the European Social Charter and its two protocols of 1991 and 1995, and the preventive control based on inquiries carried out by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, based on the European Convention of the Prevention of Torture.Added to these some extra-conventional mechanisms are considered, such as The European Commission against racism and intolerance and The Commissioner for Human Rights at the Council of Europe.

Abstract:
The article is prepared in continuation of development of author's dissertation researches. The paper reveals the peculiarities of objective and subjective features of cо-perpetration in torture (both on the basis of the provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and taking into account the provisions of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. When interpreting national criminal law norms in the light of convention provisions, the requirements of two-frame criminal law research are met. The authors' positions are supported by message from human rights organizations, decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, and theoretical modeling. The article contains the following conclusions. A co-perpetrator of torture may commit this criminal offense by his or her own actions or omissions, use another person as a “means” of committing a criminal offense, or delegate the commission of a criminal offense to another person. A co-perpetrator of torture may join in committing torture at any stage of the commission of this criminal offense. If, under the circumstances of complicity in torture, a public official or other person acting in an official capacity direct torture, he or she is the perpetrator (co-perpetrator) of the offense. If, in complicity in torture, a public official or other person acting in an official capacity creates the conditions for committing the offense, he or she should be recognized as the organizer, instigator or accomplice of the torture (depending on the role he or she has played). If, in complicity in torture, a public official or other person acting in an official capacity doesn't interfere of torture, he or she is the accomplice to torture. Not preventing torture should not be confused with the mental violence that can be used to torture. Article 1 of the 1984 Convention also covers cases of involvement in the torture of public official or other person acting in an official capacity.
