Information received concerning the military strikes conducted by the United States Armed Forces on Iran on 22 June 2025, following strikes on Iran by Israel on 13 June 2025. These strikes, which reportedly targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, raise grave questions about compliance with fundamental obligations under international law, including the prohibition on the use of force, non-intervention, respect for State sovereignty, the international crime of aggression, and international human rights law. We are gravely concerned at the threats of additional escalation, including the further targeting of nuclear facilities, which could lead to devastating consequences for human rights, in particular for the rights to life, security of person, health and a healthy environment.

Information received concerning recent deportations of Venezuelan and Salvadoran nationals from the United States to El Salvador, particularly those carried out under the Alien Enemies Act. We are concerned that the deportations and related detentions were not consistent with international human rights law, including the prohibitions on unlawful or arbitrary expulsion, freedom from arbitrary detention, the right to due process in the expulsion of migrants and asylum seekers, the right to family life and the rights of children, the obligation of non-refoulement, the prohibition on enforced disappearance, and the requirement of humane conditions of detention . We are also concerned about the designation of organized criminal groups such as the Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations, and threats to the independence and authority of U.S. judges, and to the professional work of immigration lawyers, in cases where the deportation measures are being challenged. We are extremely alarmed by the imminent prospect of further deportations, in violation of international law. We urge your Excellency’s Government to review these laws, policies and practice to ensure that any measure taken complies with international human rights law and standards.

Información recibida sobre las recientes deportaciones de extranjeros a El Salvador desde los Estados Unidos, en particular las realizadas en virtud de la Ley de Enemigos Extranjeros. Nos preocupa que su detención en El Salvador no sea compatible con el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos relativo a la libertad frente a la detención arbitraria, la prohibición de desaparición forzada y la revisión judicial de la detención, el requisito de condiciones humanas de detención, la libertad frente a la tortura y otros tratos o penas crueles, inhumanos o degradantes, y la prohibición de las desapariciones forzadas. También nos preocupa el riesgo de devolución de algunos nacionales venezolanos a Venezuela, en violación del derecho internacional. Instamos al Gobierno de su Excelencia a que garantice que las leyes y prácticas de detención cumplen con el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, incluyendo la liberación inmediata de cualquier persona detenida arbitrariamente y facilitando su salida voluntaria de El Salvador y, asegurarse que estén protegidos contra la devolución. Al respecto, recordamos que El Salvador ha ratificado tanto el Pacto Internacional de Derechos Civiles y Políticos (30 de noviembre de 1979), la Convención sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados de 1951 (28 de abril de 1983), el Protocolo sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados de 1967 (28 de abril de 1983), la Convención contra la Tortura y Otros Tratos o Penas Crueles, Inhumanos o Degradantes (CAT) (17 de junio de 1996).

Information received concerning the arms being transferred by and/or with the support of United States to Israel after 7 October 2023, granting direct military aid to Israel, issuing new arm exports licenses, and failing from reviewing the risks assessment of existing ones against the new circumstances. Those arm transfers would contribute to disproportionate attacks on Gaza by the Government of Israel, which could amount to gross violations of international humanitarian law and human rights. Furthermore, the information suggests that United-States-based defense businesses, notably Boeing, Caterpillar, General Dynamics, RTX, Oshkosh, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin have continued transferring weapons to Israel during this time, with the facilitation of the Government, without conducting heightened human rights due diligence, hence fueling violence and human rights violations. In addition, United States-based companies are investing in the listed defense companies exporting arms to Israel, including Bank of America, BlackRock, Capital Group, Causeway Capital Management LLC, Citigroup, Fidelity Management & Research Co.

Information received concerning the transfer of arms and ammunition by and/or with the support of the United Kingdom to Israel after 7 October 2023, including the failure to adequately review the risk assessments for existing licenses in light of the new circumstances. The transfer of arms and ammunition is likely to have enabled deliberate, disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks in Gaza by the Israeli military, which has resulted in extraordinary loss of life and serious injury, the widespread destruction and damage of homes, the destruction of vital food and water infrastructure, health, education, and justice facilities, and other catastrophic impacts and human rights violations. Such actions may amount to serious violations of international human rights, international humanitarian law and international criminal law. Furthermore, the information suggests that United Kingdom-based defense businesses, notably BAE Systems, have continued transferring weapons to Israel, with the facilitation of your Excellency’s Government, without conducting adequate heightened human rights due diligence. These businesses would become accomplices in such violations, as they are knowingly providing assistance to Israel for actions amounting to serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and making profit out of such assistance. Transfers have also continued despite Israel failing to implement the United Nations Security Council’s demand for a ceasefire in Gaza and the International Court of Justice order requiring Israel to take all necessary measures to avoid a plausible risk of genocide occurring in Gaza.

Information received concerning the arms being transferred by ThyssenKrupp after 7 October 2023, without conducting heightened human rights due diligence.

Information received concerning the transfer of arms and ammunition by and/or with the support of Germany to Israel after 7 October 2023, the granting of direct military aid to Israel, the issuing of new arm exports licenses, and the failure to adequately review the risk assessments for existing licenses in light of the new circumstances. The transfer of arms and ammunition is likely to have enabled deliberate, disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks in Gaza by the Israeli military, which has resulted in extraordinary loss of life and serious injury, the widespread destruction and damage of homes, the destruction of vital food and water infrastructure, health, education, and justice facilities, and other catastrophic impacts and human rights violations. Such actions may amount to serious violations of international human rights, international humanitarian law and international criminal law. Furthermore, the information suggests that Germany-based defense businesses, notably Rheinmetall AG, ThyssenKrupp and Rolls Royce Power System (MTU), have continued transferring weapons to Israel, with the facilitation of your Excellency’s Government, without conducting adequate heightened human rights due diligence. These businesses would become accomplices in such violations, as they are knowingly providing assistance to Israel for actions amounting to serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and making profit out of such assistance. In addition, Germany-based companies have continued investing in the listed defense companies exporting arms to Israel , including Union Investment Privatfonds GmbH and Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung, despite the manifest risk that these investments will contribute to gross violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. Transfers have also continued despite Israel failing to implement the United Nations Security Council’s demand for a ceasefire in Gaza and the International Court of Justice order requiring Israel to take all necessary measures to avoid a plausible risk of genocide occurring in Gaza.

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.

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp.

In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp.

La nourriture, l'eau, les soins de santé et les produits non alimentaires essentiels sont fournis par des groupes et des organisations humanitaires aux ressources insuffisantes. Selon le Croissant rouge kurde, au moins 517 personnes, dont 371 enfants, seraient mortes en 2019, dont beaucoup de maladies évitables, rien que dans le camp d'Al-Hol. En août 2020, selon UNICEF, huit enfants de moins de cinq ans sont morts dans ce camp en moins d'une semaine, dont quatre à cause de complications liées à la malnutrition et les autres à cause d'une déshydratation due à la diarrhée, à une insuffisance cardiaque, à une hémorragie interne et à une hypoglycémie. Le Covid-19 a accru ces difficultés, en réduisant le nombre d’employés opérant dans le camp.

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp.

Information received concerning a registration and verification exercise in Al-Hol and Roj camps located in North-East Syria where your nationals, primarily women and children, are currently deprived of their liberty. In these makeshift locked camps made up of unstable tent-like structures which collapse in strong winds or flood with rain or sewage, hygiene is almost non-existent: limited drinking water is often contaminated, latrines are overflowing, mounds of garbage litter the grounds, and illnesses including viral infections are rampant. Food, water, health care and essential non-food supplies are provided by under-resourced humanitarian groups and organisations. According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, at least 517 people, 371 of them children, died in 2019, many from preventable diseases, in Al-Hol camp alone. In August 2020, eight children under the age of five died in that camp in less than a week, with four caused by malnutrition-related complications and the others were due to dehydration from diarrhoea, heart failure, internal bleeding and hypoglycaemia, according to UNICEF. Covid-19 has increased these difficulties, with a reduction in the number of workers operating in the camp.

The seven men are citizens of Pakistan from rural areas, with little or no formal education and families financially dependent on them. They had been approached by the Overseas Employment Promoters (“OEPs”) in Pakistan. OEPs had promised to arrange work for them in Saudi Arabia that could provide significant remittances to their families. Several days before their respective departure to Saudi Arabia, OEPs contacted the men asking that they travel to Islamabad or Karachi to receive plane tickets and visas. The men were reportedly subsequently subjected to torture and/or ill treatment by OEPs to force them to ingest narcotics concealed in capsules. All seven men were accused of trafficking narcotics and sentenced to death for drug offences by Saudi courts. Numerous irregularities were reported in connection with the arrests and legal proceedings that led to the imposition of the death penalty against them.

Alleged discriminatory legislation and practices against women and girls in the Republic of Yemen allowing for child marriage and trafficking in girls for sexual purposes or “tourism marriage”. According to the information received, since the Personal Status Law No. 20 of 1992 was abrogated in 1999, there is no legislative framework in Yemen expressly specifying a minimum age of marriage. Current law permits marriage of a girl less than 15 years old, with the consent of her guardian. In 2009, the Government of Yemen reportedly introduced a bill proposing a minimum age of marriage for both girls and boys of 17 years. Following a debate in the Yemeni national Parliament in 2010, the Shari’a Legislative Committee reportedly made recommendations against establishing a minimum age of marriage, claiming that setting such a minimum age contradicted Islamic principles. Subsequent discussion of the bill was postponed.

Alleged hostage taking, abuse and exploitation of migrants by traffickers in Sinai. According to the information received, the migrants were held captive by the traffickers and required to pay a large sum of money as a condition of release and journey to Israel.

Alleged human rights implications of proposed regulations which would require the deportation of pregnant migrant workers from Thailand to give birth in their home country. According to the information received, the Minister of Labour has proposed to introduce a regulation to deport pregnant migrant workers from Thailand. A working group under the Labour Ministry’s Department of Labour Protection and Welfare has two months to draft regulations for the implementation of this proposal. Reportedly, many pregnant workers are uncertain about their ability to reclaim their jobs upon returning to Thailand, and are concerned about the possibility of additional expenses incurred related to travel and recruitment fees. It is also feared that pregnant migrant women may seek unsafe abortions as their only option to stay employed, exposing them to serious health risks, including risk of death.

Alleged negative impact of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) government proposal to abolish the Overseas Domestic Worker (ODW) visa system. According to the information received, the ODW visa system has been hailed as best practice and provides important safeguards to prevent abuse, exploitation and trafficking of migrant domestic workers. If the ODW visa system is abolished, this will contribute to facilitating contemporary forms of slavery practices, including trafficking, by allowing employers to bring migrant workers to the UK with no legal protection. Migrant domestic workers would also be tied to their employer and if their rights are violated, they may face the dilemma of continuing to suffer or fleeing and becoming irregular in the UK. Migrant domestic workers themselves would be unable to seek justice through criminal courts or employment tribunals for violations of their right to be free from servitude and other human rights violations.

According to the information received, on 1 January 2010, section 368 of the Criminal Code was amended, so that a ?duty to report? applies to the crime of human trafficking and the crime of depriving personal freedom. The ?duty to report? allegedly prevents NGOs and other service providers assisting trafficked persons from building a relationship of trust and confidence with trafficked persons. Further, it allegedly discourages certain communities such as a migrant community from reporting possible cases of human trafficking to NGOs, as they may wish to avoid contact with the law enforcement authorities for reasons related to their immigrant status.

According to the information received, the Anti-Trafficking in Persons (Amendment) Act 2010 (ATIP Act) limits the crime of trafficking to those situations in which a person is exploited by means of ?coercion?. Further, smuggled migrants are specifically excluded from protection or assistance available to trafficked persons under the ATIP Act, unless "the smuggled migrant is a trafficked person". Furthermore, the amended ATIP Act allegedly contains no provisions ensuring that smuggled migrants are treated in accordance with international human rights law during interception, detention, and deportation proceedings. Finally, the anti-smuggling amendments to the ATIP Act do not recognize the specific protection needs of refugees and asylum seekers.
