Isso porque não se limita a uma obrigação negativa, entendida como dever do Estado de se abster de certas interferências das autoridades públicas, e que era o objectivo funda-mental da CEDH, mas abrange, notadamente, as obrigações positivas que resultam no dever de tomar medidas para garantir a liberdade em relação à tortura para as pessoas sujeitas à jurisdição dos Estados que são partes na CEDH. Por outro, implica também obrigações processuais que, ano após ano, estão a conseguir uma posição cada vez mais autónoma entre os tipos de compromissos resul-tantes da CEDH para os Estados e cuja essência é a clarificação efetiva das circunstâncias da violação à proibição da tortura.2016text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7277469(Revista) ISSN 1519-5899(Revista) ISSN 2179-7943Espaço Jurídico: Journal of Law, ISSN 2179-7943, Vol. 17, Nº. 3, 2016 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Espaço Jurídico: Journal of Law [EJJL] | Quadrimestral), pags. 767-778engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
