Información recibida en relación con la crisis humanitaria y ambiental que padece el pueblo Raizal de las islas de Vieja Providencia y Santa Catalina, pertenecientes al Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, tras el paso de los huracanes Eta e Iota en noviembre de 2020. Casi dos años después del paso y daños causados por los huracanes, la población de la isla de 5000 personas, de la cual 4500 indígenas Raizales, sigue necesitando urgentemente ayuda para el restablecimiento de todas sus necesidades básicas afectadas, como: alojamiento, atención sanitaria, agua, saneamiento y alimentos. Los esfuerzos de reconstrucción del Gobierno, se están llevando a cabo sin tomar en cuenta las aspiraciones y las recomendaciones del pueblo raizal y de sus autoridades, ignorando su forma de vida y sus costumbres, así como el clima de las islas. Debido a la insuficiente adecuación de las nuevas viviendas a las condiciones climáticas de las islas, la situación queda crítica y conlleva el riesgo que las personas interesadas se desplacen de nuevo y se queden sin hogar cuando golpee el próximo huracán. Además, la prioridad acordada a las necesidades militares y de desarrollo económico sobre la satisfacción de las necesidades inmediatas de la población en términos de vivienda, alimentos, agua potable y saneamiento, y un medio ambiente limpio, significa una presión importante sobre el espacio vital de los Raizales que afecta negativamente su autodeterminación, sus derechos culturales y su derecho al desarrollo, con graves repercusiones sobre su sobrevivencia en tanto que pueblo.Alleged victims: 4501 More details... |

Información recibida en relación con el homicidio de once personas y la desaparición forzada de otras dos en el marco de una operación militar el 28 de marzo de 2022 en la vereda de Alto Remanso, Puerto Leguízamo, en el departamento del Putumayo, así como las irregularidades relativas a la investigación de estos hechos. Se alega que las circunstancias de estos hechos estarían relacionadas con un posible patrón de operaciones militares que, invocando el cumplimiento de órdenes de captura emitidas por la autoridad competente, y a pesar de realizar labores de inteligencia que deberían facilitar la captura, priorizarían la eliminación de la persona contra quien va dirigida la orden, incurriendo en presuntas privaciones arbitrarias de la vida al emplear la fuerza de manera innecesaria y desproporcionada.Alleged victims: 11 More details... |

Information received concerning allegations of human rights violations against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. The information we have received raises concerns that discriminatory policies and practices against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers violate your Government’s domestic law and its obligations under international law, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (the Palermo Protocol), and the international standards contained in the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA). We are alarmed by reports that systemic racial discrimination and racist violence against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers have been exacerbated in recent years, with this regression accelerated by the public and private response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Such plans have allegedly not been consulted with the Maasai people with a view to obtaining their free, prior and informed consent and would jeopardize their physical and cultural survival in the name of “nature conservation”, ignoring the close relationship that the Maasai have traditionally had with their territories, their stewardship role and the root causes of the current threats to the healthy environment of these territories.

Information received concerning ongoing forced evictions and home demolitions affecting the residents living in the informal settlements of Hlaing Thar Yar, in the Yangon region, which are reportedly carried out with a disproportionate use of force and have so far left 8,000 families homeless, without any compensation for the losses suffered, in a context marked by the continued application of the martial law to the area affected. We would also like to bring your attention that the such forced evictions and home demolitions take place in midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, thus further elevating the risk to health and life of the persons concerned. Further evictions are being undertaken, twice per week, in other informal settlements of Hlaing Thar Yar Township, with preparations underway in other townships.Alleged victims: 1 More details... | |

Information received concerning ongoing forced evictions and demolitions of as many as 12,000 homes, affecting up to 96,000 people, mostly along two of Karachi’s nullahs (watercourses) - Gujjar and Orangi nullah, carried out in an intransparent manner without any consultations with the affected populations, with little to no notice to the affected residents, with no regard for different degrees of tenure they may hold, and with disparate provisions for redress and compensation. Despite recent stop orders issued by the High Court of Sindh, demolitions continued to take place, including of buildings the owners of which hold valid land leases. Following a Supreme Court of 14 June 2021 dismissing earlier interim stay, injunction and status quo orders, there are reports that demolitions are again underway in Gujjar and Orangi nullahs.These ongoing actions are resulting in irreversible forced displacement of large populations of people, putting them at risk of extreme poverty, homelessness and threatening public health during the global Covid-19 pandemic.Alleged victims: 96000 More details... | |

Information received concerning policies to deport undocumented Haitian migrants and to eradicate informal settlements known as “shanty towns” inhabited primarily by persons of Haitian origin or descent without any consultations or alternative accommodation provided to the affected minority and migrant communities. These policies have not taken into account the extreme vulnerability of the Haitian communities in the wake of category 5 Hurricane Dorian, which hit the Bahamas in September 2019, as a result of which many lost their lives, possessions, savings, personal documentation and jobs. Undocumented Haitian migrants are being deported in violation of the principle of non-refoulement, without individual assessments and due process guarantees, while informal settlements are being targeted for destruction without any consultation with their residents or the provision of adequate alternative housing. In April 2021, the authorities started an operation aiming to demolish around 600 newly-reconstructed homes in two adjacent informal settlements known as the Farm and the Farm Road on Abaco island, which will displace up to 2,000 persons (approx. 600 families), many of them women and children.Alleged victims: 3000 More details... | |

Allegations of ongoing attacks against persons with albinism resulting in death or severe maiming, and of lack of adequate protection. According to the information received, persons with the genetic condition of albinism are being targeted in brutal, ritualized attacks for the harvesting of their body parts throughout the territory of the United Republic of Tanzania. It is reported that at least 139 attacks took place throughout Tanzania between 2007 and 2014. Investigations, prosecutions and sentencing concerning cases involving attacks against persons with albinism are extremely rare. It is further reported that when legal proceedings do occur, due process is typically not afforded to the victims, whose testimony is usually not considered, and who are not provided with legal assistance. Furthermore, persons with albinism living in State institutions are subjected to inhumane living conditions and treatment. Children in particular are allegedly subjected to severe mistreatment in the form of physical abuse and sexual violence. Similar concerns were raised in an earlier communication sent on 18 March 2013, see A/HRC/24/21, case no. TZA 1/2013. Alleged victims: 3 More details... | |

Ms. Jayakumari was reportedly physically assaulted by the soldiers. On 16 March, Mr. Ruki Fernando and Rev. Praveen Omi, two human rights defenders, were arrested by officers from the Terrorist Investigation Division in Kilinochchi while looking into the arrests that were made on 13 March. They were detained and questioned under the PTA and afterwards transferred to Vavunia, and then Colombo, for further questioning. On 19 March, both men were released without condition. Reportedly, the police announced that Mr. Fernando, and possibly Rev. Praveen Omi, will be the subject of further investigations. Serious concerns are expressed that the arrest and detention of Ms. Jayakumari, Mr. Fernando and Rev. Praveen Omi may be linked to their legitimate human rights activities.Alleged victims: 3 More details... | |

Alleged arbitrary arrest and detention and lack of access to food, water and adequate housing and other alleged human rights violations of migrant workers in Thailand in the context of the flood crisis. According to information received, migrant workers working and living in Thailand have been arrested and detained for travelling outside of their permitted areas of work or for lack of identification documents as they have escaped flooded areas to seek shelter, reunite with relatives, or return to their countries of origin. Many of the arrests and detention have allegedly occurred in Mae Sot, Tak Province, at the border with Myanmar. Reports of lack of access to food and water for migrants whilst in detention or in certain areas due to migrant workers being excluded from distribution of food and other essential items according to house registration records have also been received. It is further alleged that migrant workers have been denied access to emergency shelters as some facilities have allegedly been open to Thai citizens only, whilst other shelters have required the holding of a recommendation or certificate from the Ministry of Labour. According to information received, migrant workers have furthermore had difficulties in accessing assistance due to poor or little access to information. Deportation of migrants from Thailand to Myanmar have also been reported which could be in violation of the obligation of non-refoulement.Alleged victims: - More details... |
