The Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) is an independent
non-governmental organisation based in Geneva, working globally to
prevent torture and other ill-treatment.
The APT was founded in 1977 by the Swiss banker and lawyer Jean-Jacques Gautier. Since then the APT has become a leading organisation
in its field. Its expertise and advice is sought by international organisations, governments, human rights institutions and other actors. The
APT has played a key role in establishing international and regional
standards and mechanisms to prevent torture, among them the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture.
APT’s vision: Societies free of torture that protect the dignity of
persons deprived of liberty
