The worldwide eradication of the practice of torture was one of the major challenges of the United Nations only a few years after it was created. To ensure adequate protection for all persons against torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the United Nations has, over the years, adopted a number of universally applicable standards. The adoption, on 10 December 1984, of the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment was a milestone in the codification process to combat torture.
