The SPT is composed of 25 independent and impartial members drawn from countries which are parties to the Protocol. Members serve in their personal capacity and are drawn from a variety of different backgrounds relevant to its work, including lawyers, medical professionals and detention and inspection experts. Members do not work for any Government and do not receive any instructions from state authorities.

Members are elected by States parties for a four-year term, staggered over a two-year cycle. Members are eligible for re-election to a second term, if re-nominated.

Regular scheduled elections are held to replace members of the Committee when their terms expire.
