Torture Within The Guyana Defense Force & Other Security Organizations!
In reference to an article of concern circulated by http://propagandapress.wordpress.com/
I decided to pen a few concerns about these allegations below. Followed by The Official UN Conventions Against Torture.
Albeit, in light of the above Regulations, it is imperative that all states that are signatories to this convention, ensure that they do not violate any of these conventions within or without their sovereign borders.
And any state found to be violation any of these regulations MUST be brought to account for their actions to the UN Security Council, or The International Court in the Hague.

United Nations Convention Against Torture!
Languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment is an international human rights instrument, under the review of the United Nations, that aims to prevent torture around the world.
The Convention requires states to take effective measures to prevent torture within their borders, and forbids states to return people to their home country if there is reason to believe they will be tortured.
The text of the Convention was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1984[1] and, following ratification by the 20th state party,[2] it came into force on 26 June 1987.[1] 26 June is now recognized as the International Day in Support of Torture Victims, in honor of the Convention. As of September 2010, the Convention had 147 parties.[1]
