Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Based on a number of years' experience by volunteer doctors engaged in the examination and welfare of refugees and asylum-seekers who have claimed that they have suffered torture a scheme of history-taking and physical examination is offered. The role of the medical expert in the investigation of abuse of human rights is discussed, as is the need for the presentation and format of the interpretation to be carefully considered. |
