Information regarding the implementation of the Federal Law No. 121-FZ dated 20 July 2012 (“Foreign Agents Law”) with subsequent amendments. We particularly express concern that the measures adopted in the Foreign Agents Law do not conform with your Excellency’s Government’s international legal human rights obligations, in particular with regard to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Specifically, we are concerned that the law and its amendments infringe on a number of fundamental human rights and that do not meet the required thresholds of necessity, proportionality and non-discrimination under international law.

Informations concernant le renvoi auprès de la juridiction militaire libanaise, de l'enquête sur la mort de M. Bashar Abdel Saud, un réfugié syrien, qui serait décédé le 31 août 2022 peu après avoir été arrêté et torturé par les forces de sécurité libanaises, et l'absence suivante d'une enquête effective, impartiale et indépendante sur les circonstances de sa mort. Ce cas ferait partie d'une série de cas de civils soumis à des actes de torture et disparitions forcées qui auraient été transférés à des tribunaux militaires qui ne respectent pas les normes d'indépendance et d'impartialité requises pour les procédures judiciaires en vertu du droit international.
