- The Unit of Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture (URVT) has operated in Cyprus since 2005. The funding for the establishment of the URVT came originally from the European Council decision to establish the European Refugee Fund (ERF) II for 2005–2010. Cyprus has been participating in the ERF since 2004, with the Asylum Service being appointed as the responsible authority for its implementation. The national program for the implementation of the ERF is mainly focused on actions in the areas of reception of asylum seekers and integration of persons enjoying a form of international protection (including refugees) currently residing in Cyprus. The Unit was founded with the initiatives of Elia Petridou and Yiannis Laouris and is operated under the Humanitarian Affairs Unit of Future Worlds Center, a non profit, non-governmental organization established in Cyprus. The URVT operates on the premise that no one shall be "subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."(Article 5, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948) The URVT is dedicated to helping victims of torture and their families rebuild their lives, regardless of race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or economic or legal status.
