This guide is intended as an auxiliary instrument to the Istanbul
Protocol and has been developed as a source of practical reference for
medical doctors engaged in the investigation and documentation of cases
of alleged torture. It is researched and written within a framework of
partnership led by the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture
Victims (IRCT) in collaboration with the Human Rights Foundation of
Turkey (HRFT), Physicians for Human Rights USA (PHR USA), REDRESS, and
World Medical Association. Similar guides have been developed for
lawyers, “Action against torture: A practical guide to the Istanbul
Protocol – for lawyers” (IRCT, 2009a) and for psychologists,
“Psychological evaluation of torture allegations: A practical guide to
the Istanbul Protocol – for psychologists” (IRCT 2009b). It is hoped
that these materials offer insights and create synergy between the
health and legal professions in a joint effort to combat torture.https://issuu.com/irct/docs/medical_en_web_red_fd613b4afb872a
