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.

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.Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

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. Alleged victims: 700 More details... |

Alleged detrimental human rights impact of a draft law proposed by a civic committee, aiming at prohibiting and criminalizing abortion under all circumstances. According to the information received, in April 2016, the “Stop abortion” civic committee presented a draft law revising the Family Planning, Human Embryo Protection and Conditions of Permissibility of Abortion Act of 7 January 1993 and the Penal Code of 1997. The proposed revisions include replacing the term “human foetus” by “the conceived child” or “the unborn child”, prohibiting abortion under all circumstances and criminalizing all persons intentionally causing the death or the severe impairment/injury of the foetus, including the woman herself. Under current legislation abortion is authorised in cases of threat to the life and health of the woman, when the foetus suffers from a “severe and irreversible foetal defect or incurable illness [threatening] the foetus’ life” and when the pregnancy results from rape and incest.

On 18 February 2016, the landlord of Ms. Gera and Ms. Khandelwal was pressured by police to evict the lawyers from their offices.

According to the information received, in May 2015, Ms. Narges Mohammadi was detained and charged with several offences allegedly related to her human rights work at the Defenders of Human Rights Center. In October 2015, she suffered from seizures and was transferred to hospital where she was handcuffed to the bed and constantly supervised by security officers. Security officers returned her to prison, against her doctor’s advice, where she remains to date. The next hearing of her trial is scheduled to take place on 20 April 2016.

Allegations concerning forced religious conversion of children, denial of the right to access to justice and to a remedy by their mothers as well of their equal rights and responsibilities in matters relating to their children. According to the information received, in the cases of Ms. X and Ms. Y, the religious conversion of their husbands to Islam had legal consequences, resulting in the violation of their equal rights and responsibilities on matters related to their children, including their custody, as well as their access to justice and their right to a remedy. In the case of Ms. Y, the failure of the High Court, while deciding the custody of the children, to recognize and consider her history of abuse by her former husband as well as the alleged violent abduction of her son by him, combined with the inaction of the authorities to act, raises concern as it may justify and legitimize acts of gender-based violence. In both cases, judicial decisions undermine the primacy of constitutional laws over religious and customary laws, due to the existence of an inconsistent dual legal system, resulting in violations of women’s rights to equality in law, their right to remedy and non-discrimination in marriage and family relationships.Alleged victims: 9 More details... |

Alegaciones sobre la adopción de las reformas del Código Penal de la República Dominicana que debería haber entrado en vigor el 19 de diciembre de 2015. Según las informaciones recibidas, el 19 de diciembre de 2014, el Presidente de la República Dominicana promulgó la Ley 550-14 aprobada por el Congreso que reformaba el Código Penal. En enero de 2015, tres organizaciones de la sociedad civil apelaron la Ley 550-14 ante el Tribunal Constitucional para cuestionar la constitucionalidad de los artículos 107 a 110, relativos al aborto. El 2 de diciembre de 2015, el Tribunal Constitucional declaró inconstitucional el procedimiento que rodea la expedición del Código Penal, ya que la reforma fue aprobada solo por la Cámara del Congreso de los Diputados. La reforma debía incluir también los votos del Senado. Aunque el Tribunal no se ha pronunciado sobre las cuestiones de fondo relacionadas al aborto, se restablecieron las disposiciones del Código Penal de 1884 que criminalizan totalmente el aborto. Se expresa preocupación en cuanto al restablecimiento del Código Penal de 1884 y se reiteran las mismas preocupaciones relativas DOM 2/2014, a la violación de los derechos básicos de las mujeres y adolescentes, ya expresadas en la comunicación enviada el 11 de diciembre de 2014, ver A/HRC/29/50, caso no.

Allegations concerning the delay in signing the Safe Abortion Bill in Sierra Leone, after its adoption by the Parliament. According to the information received, on 8 December 2015, the Parliament of Sierra Leone passed the 2015 Safe Abortion Bill by large majority. On 23 December 2015, the Bill was sent for signature to the President in order to become effective. The 2015 Safe Abortion Bill allows women to have an abortion during the first twelve weeks of gestation, under any circumstances, and between the thirteenth and twenty-fourth weeks of pregnancy in cases of rape, incest, foetal impairment or risk for the woman’s health. The Bill also authorizes abortion for girls under 18, with the consent of a parent, a guardian or an “adult acting in loco parentis”.

Alleged practice of coerced, unsafe and unethical female sterilisation in Government sponsored camps in India often resulting in injury or death, lack of adequate accountability and access to remedies for victims and their families. According to the information received, the use of substandard sterilisation procedures in India remains common practice despite well-documented risks and abuses. In November 2014, sterilisations performed in Chhattisgarh resulted in the deaths of 13 women and critical injuries to many others. Numerous similar incidents have since occurred despite government reassurances that the situation would be ameliorated. Notably, in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh where one woman died in July 2015 as a result of substandard sterilisation. These coerced sterilization practices are not limited to Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand but appear to illustrate a pattern and an approach that infringes upon the liberty and physical integrity of women. The incidents in Chhattisgarh were the subject of a previous communication sent on 11 March 2015, see A/HRC/30/27, case no. IND 3/2015.Alleged victims: - More details... | |

Allegations of retrogression in the enjoyment of the right to health, including reproductive health, and physical integrity by women and girls in Texas, United States of America. According to the information received, further to the implementation of the Texas House Bill 2 (HB2) relating to the regulation of abortion procedures, providers and facilities, of the 41 abortion clinics which were open in Texas in May 2013, only 17 remain open today. Most of these clinics are located in Texas’ five largest cities, which implies that access to safe abortion has been most severely curtailed for poor, rural, and immigrant women unable to travel to urban centres. Serious concern is expressed that HB2 and its implementation appears to gravely undermine women and girls’ enjoyment of their rights to health, including reproductive health, and physical integrity, in contravention of international human rights law and standards.Alleged victims: - More details... |
