Practices and challenges in identifying victims of torture and/or ill-treatment in the context of international and temporary protection

The new EMN-Red Cross EU joint inform explores practices and challenges in the early detection and identification of victims of torture and/or ill-treatment within international and temporary protection contexts. Developed in collaboration with the Red Cross EU Office and the Swedish Red Cross, this inform provides an overview of the guidance and training available to EMN Member and Observer Countries. It highlights procedural safeguards for asylum authorities requesting medico-legal documentation in international protection applications and examines practices for identifying victims among beneficiaries of temporary protection to ensure appropriate medical care, in line with the Temporary Protection Directive.
