ABSTRACTThis study focuses on confidential inquiry as monitoring mechanism for the implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment 1984. This normative juridical and descriptive research is addressed to discuss the provisions of confidential inquiry and analyze its implementation towards State Parties. This study finds two weaknesses of confidential inquiry, which are the ability of a State Party to refuse visitation by Committee against Torture members and the lack of enforcing “systematic practice of torture” concept legally upon an inquired State. The researcher suggests the importance of putting “systematic practice of torture” concept into codification through amendment of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment 1984.
