Letter to APA Opposing Proposal to Weaken Anti-Torture Ethics Protections in National Security Detention for Psychologists

We write to express our deep concern over proposed changes to the American Psychological Association ’s (APA) policy on the role of psychologists in national security detention settings. This resolution, scheduled for a Council vote at the August 2018 meeting and closely monitored by the human rights community, would undermine APA’s hard-won position against torture and ill-treatment. We theref ore urge you to reject NBI 35B and instead continue on the path of supporting ethical practice and human rights protections for national security detainees.
