The Applicants aver that the Republic of Togo encourages impunity by failing to institute an inquiry into their complaints, in violation of Point 16(a) of the 23 October 2002 Robben Island Guidelines, which deals with the directive principles and measures for the prohibition and prevention of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment in Africa. 68.
