Summary

The most direct intersection of another right with the right to freedom from torture and other ill-treatment exists in the instance of the right to life. This is most obviously so on the basis that ill-treatment may result in the death of the victim. Where it does so, there will be a violation of both the right to life and the right to freedom from torture and other ill-treatment. The chapter goes on to consider how the right to freedom from torture or other ill-treatment interrelates with the rights to liberty, security, fair trial, and a private life, and the international legal prohibitions on enforced disappearance and slavery.
