ABSTRACT
OMCT firmly believes that modern management techniques must be part of the strategy against torture: a small number of people fighting with clearly established goals and co-ordinated objectives are infinitely more powerful than an infinite number of well meaning, dedicated but disorganized ones. OMCT is often the sole organization providing a consistent channel of reliable information on grave violations against children to the Committee. During the third General Assembly in 1991, in Manila, OMCT decided to set up a specific programme fighting against the torture, forced disappearance, and summary execution of children. During a Colloquium organized in India, by OMCT, in January 1992, the issue of forced child labour was addressed in order to clarify if certain forms of it could be considered as an act of torture. The Convention Against Torture obviously allows a concentration on cases of torture, including cases of child torture, and has an individual communication procedure.
