Recalling also that the World Conference on Human Rights, held at Vienna from 14 to 25 June 1993, firmly declared that efforts to eradicate torture should, first and foremost, be concentrated on prevention and called for the early adoption of an optional protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which is intended to establish a preventive system of regular visits to places of detention,A/CONF.157/24 (Part I), chap. III, sect. II, para. 61.
又回顾1993年6月14日到25日在维也纳举行的世界人权会议坚定申明铲除酷刑的努力首先应当集中在预防工作上，因此呼吁早日通过《禁止酷刑和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚公约》的任择议定书，该议定书的目的是建立定期查访拘留地的预防制度,A/CONF.157/24(Part I)和Corr.1，第三章，第二节，第61段。
