The Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims in Copenhagen, Denmark, has initiated work towards creating the Thesaurus of Torture Terminology (T3); a thesaurus of terminology related to torture, prevention of torture, and rehabilitation of torture victims. The T3 project aims to create a structured vocabulary sufficiently extensive and detailed to facilitate indexing and retrieval of documents on torture, at a level suited to specialists in the fields of torture prevention and rehabilitation of victims. The thesaurus will be created in English; it is hoped that translations/adaptations into other languages can be undertaken subsequently, possibly in cooperation with interested organisations in the human rights field. Anyone interested in further information on the project, in particular organisations and individuals who would be willing to comment on drafts of the thesaurus, or are engaged in similar initiatives within the work field of torture prevention and rehabilitation of victims, can write to [email protected]
