European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) 13th General Report on the CPT's activities covering the period 1 January 2002 to 31 July 2003 Strasbourg, 10 September 2003 The CPT is required to draw up every year a general report on its activities, which is published. For operational reasons, it has become standard practice for the general report to be published in the late summer. To better reflect this practice, the Committee has decided that future general reports should cover the 12-month period from 1 August to 31 July. As a transitional measure, the 13th General Report on the CPT's activities covers the 19-month period from 1 January 2002 to 31 July 2003. This 13th General Report, as well as previous general reports and other information about the work of the CPT, may be obtained from the Committee's Secretariat or from its website: Secretariat of the CPT Human Rights Building Council of Europe F-67075 Strasbourg Cedex, France Tel: +33 (0)3 88 41 39 39 Fax: +33 (0)3 88 41 27 72 E-mail: cptdoc@coe.int Web: http://www.cpt.coe.int Database: http://hudoc.cpt.coe.int
