Talk:Torture Victim Protection Act of 1992

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article should be renames "Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991", because that is the official name of the act, as reported in the Congressional Records and USCCAN. Legal materials citing this law also use "... of 1991" even though the act passed the Senate and was signed in 1992. (The law passed the house Nov. 25, 1991).

In 28 USC § 1350, it says, "“This Act may be cited as the ‘Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991’." The Wikipedia set-up should be that "TVPA of 1992" redirects to the "TVPA of 1991" page—not the other way around.
