In December 2016, the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) and the Mexican rehabilitation centre Colectivo Contra la Tortura (CCTI) hosted two important events in Mexico City which RCTV Memoria – represented by Mrs Ludmila Popovici – attended as a member centre of the IRCT and key actor of rehabilitation of torture victims in the Republic of Moldova.

From December 5th to 7th, the 10th IRCT International Scientific Symposium gathered about 400 participants and 130 practitioners and experts in order to share knowledge, experience and research on the rehabilitation of survivors of torture at a global level and with a multi-disciplinary approach. The Symposium was directly followed by the IRCT 5th General Assembly on the 8th-9th December.

These two meetings led to the adoption by IRCT of a Resolution titled “Mexico Consensus” calling States to respect and promote right to rehabilitation in complying with their obligations to prevent and prosecute torture, provide reparations to the victims and increase their funding.
