Iceland Ratifies the OPCAT

Feb 21, 2019

The ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture by Iceland brings the number of states who have ratified the treaty to 89.

Following amendments to the law on the Parliamentary Ombudsman in Iceland in December 2018, aimed at bringing it into compliance with the OPCAT, the Ombudsman was designated as NPM at the same time as ratification on 20th February 2019.
