Abstract
Con este trabajo se pretende realizar un análisis del sistema de prevención de la tortura instaurado en el Protocolo Facultativo a la Convención de Naciones Unidas contra la Tortura y Otros Tratos o Penas Crueles, Inhumanos o Degradantes. El Protocolo Facultativo aporta un enfoque novedoso en el sistema universal de derechos humanos en la lucha contra la tortura, tradicionalmente centrada en la actuación reactiva, estableciendo un órgano internacional (el Subcomité para la Prevención de la Tortura) y órganos nacionales independientes (los mecanismos nacionales de prevención), que llevarán a cabo visitas periódicas a lugares de privación de libertad.
This paper aims to accomplish an analysis of the system of prevention of torture established by the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The Optional Protocol contributes with a new approach in the universal human rights system, traditionally focused on reactive intervention, setting up an international body (the Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture) and national independent bodies (the national preventive mechanisms), to undertake regular visits to places of deprivation of liberty
