Informations reçues concernant des mesures de de-risking (réductions des risques) prises par le prestataire de services monétaires Wise à l'encontre de l'organisation Action Droits des Musulmans (ADM), organisation française basée à Paris, qui entraînerait des conséquences importantes pour les droits humains de l'ADM, ses dirigeants, membres et bénéficiaires. Ces mesures découleraient de la désignation d'ADM par le Gouvernement de votre Excellence comme organisation ayant une « activité illégale en lien avec des faits de nature criminelle de blanchiment d'argent et/ou de nature terroriste », qui semblent être liées à la participation de l’organisation, en novembre 2022, à l'évaluation de la France par le Comité des Nations Unies pour l'élimination de la discrimination raciale (CERD, selon ses sigles en anglais). Nous soulignons que les mesures de de-risking ainsi que les allégations plus larges de discrimination, d'intimidation et de stigmatisation constitueraient de graves violations des droits fondamentaux à la liberté de religion ou de croyance, de réunion pacifique et d'association, d'expression et d'opinion, des droits à une procédure régulière, et des droits économiques, sociaux et culturels fondamentaux, y compris les droits au travail et à la propriété.Alleged victims: 2 |

Informations reçues concernant des mesures en matière de de-risking (réductions des risques) prises par le prestataire de services monétaires Wise à l'encontre de l'organisation Action Droits des Musulmans (ADM), organisation française basée à Paris, qui entraînerait des conséquences importantes pour les droits humains d'ADM, ses dirigeants, membres et bénéficiaires. Ces mesures de de-risking, soi-disant conformes aux directives étatiques, entraîneraient des conséquences importantes en matière de droits humains pour l’ADM, sa direction, ses membres et bénéficiaires, et résulteraient de l'incapacité de l’entreprise à évaluer pleinement les risques en matière de droits humains conformément aux Principes directeurs relatifs aux entreprises et aux droits de l'homme. Nous soulignons que les mesures de de-risking ainsi que les allégations plus larges de discrimination, d'intimidation et de stigmatisation constitueraient de graves violations des droits fondamentaux à la liberté de religion ou de croyance, de réunion pacifique et d'association, d'expression et d'opinion, des droits à une procédure régulière, et des droits économiques, sociaux et culturels fondamentaux, y compris les droits au travail et à la propriété.Alleged victims: 2 |

Information gathered during the recent technical visit to the camps, prisons and other detention facilities in the Northeast of the Syrian Arab Republic, which took place from 15 to 20 July 2023. In the context of this visit, I was able to monitor the human rights and humanitarian situation in this extremely complex setting, interview individuals held in places of detention, and corroborate information received about serious and systematic breaches of international law, which would involve responsibility for core crimes. In particular, I would like to highlight the cases of an Australian mother and her five Australian children, who have been subjected to prolonged and arbitrary detention in Al-Roj camp, in the Northeast of Syria, in conditions amounting to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. I further bring to your Excellency’s Government attention information received on the case of an Australian adolescent boy, whose fate and whereabouts remain unknown following conflicting information on his potential death due to injuries sustained during an armed attack on the Gweiran (Sina’a) Prison, where he was believed to be held at the time.Alleged victims: 7 |

Comments on the draft Republika Srpska law on the Special Registry and Publicity of the Work on Non-Profit Organisations (“the Draft Law”). The international community recognizes the need to ensure that the NPO sector operates openly and positively and that a risk-based approach is taken to ensure that the elements of the NPO sector are not misused as well as the need for the sector to be transparent. However, in its current draft form, we are concerned that the proposed law would place restrictions that are inconsistent with international human rights standards, especially the right to freedom of association, freedom to participate in public affairs, freedom of expression, and the full access to economic and social rights for persons working in the NPO sector. We are also concerned that should this legislation be passed, NPOs may struggle to continue to function freely and effectively as a result.Alleged victims: - | |

Concerns expressed in relation to the draft law No. 566, titled “Introduction of Article 614-bis on the Criminal Code, on the protection of the inviolability of the home from arbitrary occupation, as well as provisions concerning the reinstatement of the owner or rightful holder in possession”. The law if adopted with proposed amendments would introduce a new offense in the Criminal Code, and provide for accelerated proceeding for the immediate forced eviction of persons without tenancy status of occupied property, including immediate arrest. Persons committing arbitrary occupation of property can be punished with a prison term between 2 and 7 years, Additionally, it foresees the disconnection of utilities within 15 days upon a simple complaint by the owner. Concern is expressed that this law if passed unchanged lead to the criminalization of persons in precarious situations, and reduce procedural guarantees to protect the occupants of a dwelling from being pushed into homelessness.

Informations de première main directement recueillies lors de ma récente visite technique dans les camps et les centres de détention dans le nord-est de la République arabe syrienne, du 15 au 20 juillet 2023. Lors celle-ci, j'ai pu observer les difficultés extrêmes en matière de droits de l'homme, d'aide humanitaire et de sécurité. En particulier, je voudrais signaler le cas d'une jeune femme de nationalité tunisienne détenu à l’Annexe pour les étrangers au camp fermé d’Al-Hol, que mon équipe a personnellement interviewé lors de ma visite dans le camp. À cet égard, je voudrais exprimer ma vive inquiétude quant à l'impact de cette détention arbitraire et indéfinie sur les droits fondamentaux de cette jeune femme profondément vulnérable ainsi que souligner son état évident de traumatisme et de souffrance, principalement dû à la perte de sa mère et la séparation d’avec ses sœurs, et au manque de clarté sur son sort ou son statut juridique.

Information gathered during my recent technical visit to the camps and detention facilities in Northeast Syria, which took place from 15 to 20 July 2023, and where I was able to monitor the human rights situation in this complex setting and interview individuals held there. In particular, I would like to highlight and bring to your attention the cases of three Russian boys that I personally interviewed during the visit, who are held in Al-Alaya Prison, and in Houri and Orkesh Rehabilitation Centres, and convey my deep concern about the absence of protection for their human rights and their increased vulnerability in detention, as well as their severe state of trauma due to the separation from their families. These boys were all brought to Syria, arrested and detained, then separated from their families while still being minors. Alleged victims: 3 | |

Information received concerning the alleged forcible repatriation by your Excellency’s Government of Mr. Ghassan Abdallah Ghazi al-Sharbi, who was cleared for release and transferred from the detention facility at the U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on 8 March 2023.

La realización de este megaproyecto no sólo contravendría la prohibición de actividades mineras en ecosistemas de páramo consagrada en la Ley de Páramos (1930/2018), sino que tendría graves repercusiones para el sustento y la soberanía alimentaria de las poblaciones locales y vecinas. La realización de actividades extractivas en Cajamarca supone una amenaza para la realización de derechos humanos fundamentales como el derecho a la alimentación, al agua y a un medio ambiente sano. Además, desconocería el derecho de las comunidades campesinas a una consulta significativa, afectaría gravemente a sus medios de vida y despreciaría su identidad cultural como campesinos.Alleged victims: 20000 |

Comments on the Government’s Bill 2022/23:73 concerning special criminal provisions for participation in a terrorist organisation, which amended the Terrorist Offences Act (2022:66), Code of Judicial Procedure, and the Act on measures to prevent certain particularly serious offences (2007:979), and entered into force in June 2023. We respectfully address several serious human rights challenges raised by this Bill, including the definition for participation in a terrorist organization, which, in our view, is overly broad. We particularly highlight the negative and disproportionate impacts that the legislation may have on the exercise of freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, as well as the right to privacy. We respectfully encourage your Excellency's Government to review and reconsider certain key aspects of the law to ensure that it complies with Sweden's international human rights law obligations.

Información recibida en relación con la presunta vulneración del derecho humano al agua potable en los departamentos de Montevideo y Canelones a partir de la crisis hídrica que afecta la disponibilidad y seguridad del agua para consumo y uso humano en esas zonas. Dada su intrínseca relación con la sobrevivencia humana, esta vulneración del derecho al agua potable constituiría un riesgo al derecho a la vida, a la salud, y a la alimentación de la población que vive en estas zonas. Asimismo, de acuerdo con la información recibida, el derecho al agua potable y saneamiento, a la vida y a la salud de ciertos grupos de población está en mayor riesgo porque la crisis del agua les ha afectado desproporcionadamente. La vulneración del derecho al agua potable se ve presuntamente agravada por la priorización de usos productivos y comerciales en el país, cuya actividad no se ha visto reducida pese a la alarmante situación, así como por la falta de inversión en la infraestructura acuífera del país y por una disminución de personal cualificado en la empresa de titularidad pública que gestiona el agua, las Obras Sanitarias del Estado (OSE).Alleged victims: - |
