Documentation of Torture is a scholarly methodological framework within human rights research that systematically records, verifies, and analyzes evidence of torture practices to establish accountability, distinguishable from general human rights monitoring by its focus on legal admissibility, standardized evidentiary protocols, and alignment with international prohibitory norms.
