This handbook aims to distil the lessons the OSCE learned through experience for the benefit of all OSCE field missions. By its very existence, this document should be taken as the clearest possible indication of the political determination of the OSCE as a whole to engage fully and responsibly in the global objective of a world free from torture and ill-treatment.
This handbook refers to the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers as a useful tool in monitoring compliance by States with OSCE and other international human rights commitments. Among other, the Basic Principles are especially helpful as standard setting reference points for State officials responsible for the administration of justice, law enforcement and custodial institutions.
