Abstract

One of the first international meetings against doctors participating in torture took place in Copenhagen in 1986, and the Statement of Madrid was a very important outcome of this meeting. The second international meeting took place in Uruguay in December 1987. We can all be very proud of what Dr Gregorio Martirena and the Uruguayan Medical Association has been able to do. The conclusions of that meeting in Uruguay are worthy of study, with a special emphasis on what has been done; then it will be up to us to discuss what we need to do in the future....We have now come together at the third international meeting concerning doctors and torture. I would like to describe what has been done, especially in Denmark since the last international meeting....
