Implementing Convention Against Torture in Vietnam

Clingendael Academy delivered the sixth training course on the implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture in Hanoi, Vietnam.

On 19 and 20 September, twenty-five officials and trainers from the Vietnamese Ministries of Public Security, Defense, and the Police Academies participated in the two-day workshop on curriculum development and investigative interviewing skills.

The techniques involved were aimed at acquiring the truth through suspect interviews, as opposed to interrogations which focus on extracting a confession.

The training was organised in collaboration with the Netherlands Police Academy and funded by the Netherlands Embassy in Hanoi.
