Torture Prevention and UN Human Rights

International attention is focused on Sri Lanka's human rights practices, particularly regarding torture prevention mechanisms. The UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture has visited and assessed the country's preventive measures.

So the government's got a "zero-tolerance policy" on torture, and the UN's like "cool, but also... do you have a mechanism?" It's like saying you don't speed while the traffic cop's literally watching you swerve—the policy exists mainly when the subcommittee's in town, apparently.
