UN experts say US deportations to third countries cause 'cascade' of rights abuses

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

US deportations of thousands of people to dozens of countries are "triggering a cascade of human rights violations", heightening the risk of abuses like torture, slavery and trafficking, UN experts warned Monday.

The experts also said they were in contact with UN agencies that assist refugees and migrants, including the International Organization for Migration, to stress that "their engagement must never legitimise arrangements that expose people to refoulement or other grave human rights violations"."A state that knowingly aids or assists another state in conduct that violates non-refoulement or other human rights obligations may itself incur international responsibility," they cautioned.
