“The indefinite detention of those seeking asylum, based solely on their mode of arrival, would punish people in need of help and protection and constitute a clear breach of the United Kingdom’s obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention.”
"There is no such thing as an 'illegal asylum seeker'".
The #UNCHR voted against (19 vs. 17) debating a report on #Uyghur human rights. A report created by its own high commissioner.
"The defeat became inevitable when a series of #Muslim states, including #Pakistan, #Qatar and #Indonesia, refused to back an inquiry into the persecution of #Uyghur Muslims. #Mexico was one of many countries to abstain after intense lobbying by China."
Well.
“@SeebrueckeFfm @UNHCRLibya #Twtr hit @RefugeesinLibya with a violation. Because they reported #Accurately. Why because it made #UNCHRLibya look bad? It is many #Failures of #UNCHR- #InternationalCommunity in #Libya. &in regards to #Failure in protection of #Refugees in #Libya, let alone a 15Yr old #Refugee”
