1. The Convention Against Torture (CAT) lacks an express prohibition on deportation to states where there is a risk of torture. 2. The CAT is non-self-executing and therefore not directly enforceable in domestic courts. 3. The CAT does not have a right to a hearing before deportation occurs. 4. The CAT does not require states to assess risks to individuals before deportation. 5. The CAT does not guarantee access to legal representation during deportation proceedings. 6. The CAT does not require the state to suspend deportation proceedings if there is a likelihood of torture on return. 7. The CAT does not provide individuals with an effective remedy for violations of their rights.
