The World Organization Against Torture (OMCT) is an international non-profit organization. The OMCT works with 200 member organizations that fight to end torture and ill-treatment, assist victims, and protect human rights defenders at risk, wherever they may be. 

Since September 2020, the OMCT’s Libya program works in close collaboration with the Libyan Anti-Torture Network (LAN) to tackle torture and institutionalized violence by state and non-state actors through capacity-building, organizational empowerment, legal aid and advocacy.
