	Istanbul Protocol
		This Protocol is the result of three years of analysis, research, and drafting undertaken by more than 75 forensic doctors, physicians, psychologists, human rights monitors, and lawyers who represent 40 organisations and institutions from 15 countries.
		The Istanbul Protocol is intended to provide international guidelines on the assessment of individuals who allege torture and ill treatment, the investigation of cases of alleged torture, and on reporting the findings of such investigations to the judiciary and any other bodies.
		The Istanbul Protocol also outlines minimum standards for state adherence to ensure the effective documentation of torture in its "Principles on the Effective Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment".

		The Istanbul Protocol was drafted by a team of more than 75 experts in health and human rights from 40 organisations and 15 countries, and presented to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Aug. 9, 1999.
		Alfonso García, with the Mexican office of the human rights watchdog Amnesty International, said that ”any steps taken against torture are welcome.” The fact that the Fox government has adopted the Istanbul Protocol is good news, he said in a conversation with IPS.
		Nevertheless, he added, in the Mexican case it is not yet time to celebrate, because ”there is a high level of scepticism due to the lack of results” in eliminating torture.

		With their Istanbul protocol, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakstan formally committed Thursday to building the 1.0 million barrel-a-day pipeline from Baku, Azerbaijan, to the port of Ceyhan in Turkey.
