TITLE 22—FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
§ 2152a
many nations, even those who treat torture survivors
are threatened with reprisals, including torture, for
carrying out their ethical duty to provide care. Both
the survivors of torture and their treatment pro-
viders should be accorded protection from further re-
pression.
‘‘(5) A significant number of refugees and asylees
entering the United States have been victims of tor-
ture. Those claiming asylum deserve prompt consid-
eration of their applications for political asylum to
minimize their insecurity and sense of danger. Many
torture survivors now live in the United States. They
should be provided with the rehabilitation services
which would enable them to become productive mem-
bers of our communities.
‘‘(6) The development of a treatment movement for
torture survivors has created new opportunities for
action by the United States and other nations to op-
pose state-sponsored and other acts of torture.
‘‘(7) There is a need for a comprehensive strategy to
protect and support torture victims and their treat-
ment providers, together with overall efforts to
eliminate torture.
‘‘(8) By acting to heal the survivors of torture and
protect their families, the United States can help to
heal the effects of torture and prevent its use around
the world.
